ATLANTA,Georgia -- South Carolina State capitalized on a special teams mistake and a time consuming drive late in the game to defeat the North Carolina A&T State Aggies 13-0 in the 26th annual Atlanta Football Classic.
With the win, the Bulldogs have now defeated the Aggies in 13 of their last 14 meetings dating back to 2001 and Pough has a 12-1 record against the Aggies, his highest winning percentage against any team in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

The Bulldogs (4-2, 2-0 MEAC) used a strong rushing attack to control the time of possession and keep the quick striking Aggies offense off the field. Leading the SCSU attack was sophomore quarterback Adrian Kollock, who accounted for 174 total yards (8-19-1, 99 passing, 75 rushing) including a pivotal one yard plunge with 2:30 in the 4th quarter to secure the win. Running back Jalen "Scoot" Simmons led the Bulldog rushing attack with 95 yards on 24 carries, falling five yards short from his fourth straight 100 yard rushing game of the season. Head coach Buddy Pough was pleased with the team's running game today.
"We think we have the ingredients to have a pretty high powered run game, Pough said. It's just that people load the box on us so much because we don't throw the ball well enough, so we have to find ways to keep people off of us."
