Pough bearing down on SCSU offense following defeat by CMU

Bulldogs Coach Oliver "Buddy" Pough 

Orangeburg, SC - Just as in years past, Labor Day was "celebrated" by the South Carolina State football team with a regularly scheduled football practice.

Coming off a season-opening 21-6 loss at Division I Central Michigan four days earlier and facing co-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion Bethune-Cookman Saturday at Daytona Beach, Fla., there's no time to take a break even for a cold-ridden Bulldogs' head coach Oliver "Buddy" Pough.

"We've got a lot of work to do," he said at Monday's press conference. "It's pretty clear that offensively we need to be more productive and I think we understand that. We've got to play better in a lot of positions. We didn't throw the ball nearly as well as we needed to do to be successful in a situation like that. We've got work to do in our passing game along with some run stuff as well."
