SC State takes on new MEAC giant Bethune-Cookman

SCSU HEAD COACH BUDDY POUGH
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  — If South Carolina State wants to get back on top of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, coach Buddy Pough said it has no choice but to knock off Bethune-Cookman on Saturday.

The Wildcats have won 16 MEAC games in a row, including a 27-14 win over the Bulldogs last season that acted as sort of a passing of the torch from an S.C. State team that won the league title three straight years.

"Bethune is what we used to be. They got to the point where they expect to win any time they play a conference game," Pough said.

S.C. State (5-2, 3-0 MEAC) is in Daytona Beach, Fla., to face the Wildcats (6-1, 3-0), the only other undefeated conference team. The records aren't a fluke. The Wildcats and Bulldogs are first and second in total offense and total defense in the MEAC.
