ORANGEBURG, SC – South Carolina State continued installation of its offense and defense during it second preseason workout Sunday. Bulldog head coach Buddy Pough said the enthusiasm and intensity level of the players remained high despite soaring temperatures on the field.

“Day two was pretty good,” Pough said. “Our main focus is installation on both sides of the football, getting our offensive and defensive schemes in place. We will be doing this (installation) for another five or six practices. We may try to be a little different on offense this season.

“Our players continue to show great enthusiasm overall,” he continued, “and we are excited a bit about the performance of our group of young kids, who we will be counting on to provide depth this fall. “We are not great by any stretch of imagination, but the potential is there and if we can keep our players in practice, we got a chance to be pretty good.”

August 4 - Monday practice was cut short due to a thunder storm and lightning in the area, according to Bulldog head coach Buddy Pough. “We only got in about three-quarters of our workout before the storm hit,” Pough said. “Of the 24 periods we had scheduled, we were in period 17 when we had to leave the field (shortly before 5 p.m.). We had about eight drills left.”
