ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- There’s still some life in the South Carolina State football team in this disappointing 2012 season.The Bulldogs could have headed to Bragg Memorial Stadium this past Saturday and put forth an effort which would have guaranteed their first losing season in 12 years. They faced a Florida A&M team looking to snap a four-game home losing streak to S.C. State and remain in striking (no pun intended) distance for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title.
Instead, the Bulldogs (3-5, 2-3) managed to overcome the adversity created by the environment, injuries on defense and inconsistency on offense to pull out a 27-20 overtime victory.
The numbers will show another low production effort by quarterback Richard Cue in completing only 13-23 passes for 113 yards and a rushing TD. However, this was the first game this season in which the Florence native did not throw an interception and made timely plays which were uncredited such as a second touchdown run nullified by a blocking penalty, a dropped scoring pass by Caleb Davis and a third-down conversion on a scoring drive thwarted by a blocked field goal.
