Pough approaching Morgan State with ‘the fierce urgency of now’

Video Highlights: Howard Bison at SCSU Bulldogs



From the moment head coach Oliver “Buddy” Pough arrived at South Carolina State seven years ago, reaching the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs was his primary goal. With two games left for the Bulldogs (8-2, 6-0) to earn a win to clinch the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title and first automatic playoff berth since 1982, Pough is approaching Saturday’s game at Morgan State (6-4, 4-2) with “rce urgency of now.”

“We’d like to get it over with,” Pough said at Monday’s press conference. “The very last thing we need to be is going to Greensboro (North Carolina) the last week of the season (Nov. 22 against North Carolina A&T) trying to eek out a win to try to win the conference. We need to clean this thing up right now and we’re all about this week. I’m not thinking about down the road. We want to win this weekend. We want to keep our (six-game winning) streak going. So I think we’ve got to do all we can to get this thing to come together now.”
