COLUMBIA, South Carolina -- Saturday saw another “Classic” performance at Williams-Brice Stadium by South Carolina State against Benedict College.
The Bulldogs’ 59-7 rout was the largest margin of victory in the 12-year history of the Palmetto Capital City Classic. Playing before an unannounced crowd which appeared smaller than past “Classic” games at the venue, S.C. State continued its dominant defensive play in collecting three turnovers and holding the Tigers to 57 rushing yards to improve to 2-2 on the season.
Senior Joe Thomas of Blackville-Hilda led the team in tackles again with 10, while left defensive end Andrew Carter had seven tackles and two of S.C. State’s five sacks of Benedict quarterback Marcus Graham to earn team game MVP honors.
“They were big and strong up front,” Benedict head coach James Moody said. “They controlled the line of scrimmage. You win that game at the line of scrimmage, it’s tough for offense or defense to get anything going. They’re a strong, strong very good football team.”
Linebacker Shaquan Brock also accounted for a score on a 55-yard interception return, one of three picks of Graham collected in the second quarter.
