Orangeburg, SC - Buddy Pough is tired.Tuesday evening, the best coach in black college football - all arguments invited however, over the last half decade or so, few can claim the consistency and overall excellence of Pough's program - told his team as much.

The Bulldogs, like every other FCS college in American, wanted to be like the Mountaineers and pull off a shocker. But for all that excitement, the Bulldogs were handled with ease by the Falcons, 34-3. Two weeks later, South Carolina pounded the Bulldogs 38-3. S.C.
