S.C. State Bulldogs' season still a success despite loss to Furman

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina  -- The checklist for South Carolina State head football coach Buddy Pough has few unmarked spaces these days.

Returning the program to a Top 25 standing and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship status – check.

Getting All-State talent to migrate towards Orangeburg, highlighted by the signing of a “Mr. South Carolina Football” quarterback Malcolm Long – check.

Having All-MEAC Offensive and Defensive players of the year in addition to an Offensive Lineman of the Year - check.

Returning to the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs after a long absence and getting to play host to one game – check.

This past Saturday, the Bulldogs had hoped to check off the one remaining unaccomplished goal in 12 seasons for Pough – an FCS victory. Once again, however, S.C. State fell short in its quest in a 30-20 loss to Southern Conference co-champion Furman.
