ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- Head coach Buddy Pough has two perspectives on South Carolina State’s 16-day hiatus prior to playing its most important game of the season.
On one hand, he can see the lengthy break providing an advantage from a strategic standpoint as it allows more time to develop an effective game plan to defeat defending Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion Bethune-Cookman on Oct. 26 at Municipal Stadium in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The flip side is the concern Pough expressed at Monday’s weekly press conference about building up game rust and losing the momentum from a five-game winning streak – the Bulldogs’ longest in three years.
“I worry a little bit about this long layoff,” Pough said. “I think we’re going to be about 16 days between games and that’s a pretty good little ways. So we’ve got to figure ways that we make sure we do a good job of keeping our team as sharp as we possibly can for the next 12-14 days we have.”
