ORANGEBURG, South Carolina - It’s only the second week of the season, but there’s a big conference game in the MEAC on Saturday between South Carolina State and Bethune-Cookman. Both teams posted impressive season-opening victories. The Bulldogs thrashed Georgia State 33-6 in its season opener in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome, while the Wildcats posted a huge come-from-behind 38-28 win over Alabama State in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. SC State and B-CU, along with defending champ Norfolk State, are the top teams in the MEAC. This early-season conference matchup should be a good one.
It looks like Bulldogs coach Buddy Pough has a good field general in Richard Cue, the redshirt junior quarterback. Cue had a career-high 300 yards passing in the victory over Georgia State, completing 19 of 29 passes for three touchdowns and two interceptions.
Cue has a tremendous passing game with wide receivers Caleb Davis, Lennel Elmore and Tyler McDonald, who can really stretch the field. Davis led the team in receptions with 10 catches for 110 yards. Elmore had three receptions for 117 yards, including a 72-yard TD pass, while McDonald scored two touchdowns on three catches for 52 yards.
