Already down one starter on defense, the South Carolina State football team will be missing two on offense for Saturday’s in-state clash with the University of South Carolina.
In a press release, Bulldog head football coach Oliver "Buddy" Pough announced one-game suspensions to place-kicker Stephen Grantham, wide receivers Terrance Smith and Phillip Brooks and defensive lineman Patrick Brooks for team rule violations. When contacted by telephone, Pough declined to elaborate on the reasons behind the suspensions save for what was stated in the release.
Grantham, who missed all of last season for academic reasons, will be replaced by punter and Orangeburg native Aaron Haire.
Also slated to miss Saturday’s contest is defensive back Marshall McFadden, who suffered a hyperextended right elbow in SCSU’s 24-13 win at Bethune-Cookman last Saturday. McFadden, a 6-2, 195 junior of Lamar who had started all 24 Bulldog games during his career, will miss 2-3 weeks due to the injury.
