| HEAD COACH BUDDY POUGH |
ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- It turns out S.C. State head football coach Buddy Pough had a valid reason not to be critical of the officiating during the second half of Saturday’s game against Florida A&M.
From an observer’s standpoint, it appeared game officials were confused about the number of available time-outs the Rattlers had heading into their final drive.
However, Pough had a firsthand view of the issues which stemmed from a non-working microphone which left the referee able to communicate only with fellow officials and the head coaches on the field.
With fans oblivious to the on-field workings, they did not realize FAMU was rewarded a time-out back during a second-half series in which the S.C. State Marching 101 was cited for excessively loud music playing. On another series in which FAMU was whistled for a delay of game penalty while trying to stop the clock, officials opted just to penalize the Rattlers rather than charge them their remaining timeout.
