S.C. STATE VS. BENEDICT: Video Hightlights
Motivation will not be a problem this week for South Carolina State.
Unlike the games against Central Florida and Benedict, the objective is not just about trying to have a good showing in a bid for victory. And, Saturday’s Lowcountry Classic matchup against Bethune-Cookman at Johnson Hagood Stadium is not just about playing well in front of the Charleston Bulldog fans. It’s the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opener for S.C. State and as S.C. State head football coach Oliver “Buddy” Pough reiterated at Monday’s press conference, it’s a contest the Bulldogs cannot afford to lose.
“I can tell you that our sense of urgency in this matter is pretty intense,” he said. Although S.C. State (1-1) has won three of the last four meetings against the Wildcats (following a six-year winless stretch from 1998-2003), the memory of that one loss at the 2006 Lowcountry Classic still lingers. The 45-21 thrashing at the hands of Bethune-Cookman was not only Pough’s worst conference loss, but served as an albatross the rest of the season for the Bulldogs’ MEAC title hopes.
