S.C. State Bulldogs might have found a deep threat

SCSU Bulldogs head football coach Oliver "Buddy" Pough is favored to win the MEAC title in '08.

ORANGEBURG — Buddy Pough has been searching for a consistent big-play wide receiver ever since Tavarus Morgan departed S. C. State in 2004. After three fruitless years, that hunt may finally be over this season for the S.C. State football coach. That is if Burke High product Oliver "Tre" Young can live up to the high expectations of the Bulldogs coaching staff.

"We really haven't had that deep threat at receiver, the kind of guy that can stretch a defense the way Morgan did, but I have a lot of faith in his ability," said Pough at Friday's Media Day at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium. "He's got the speed and the hands, and he got some experience last season. We have a lot of talented young receivers, but I think Tre' has the best chance to emerge as the kind of guy we've lacked out there for a couple of years."
