ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- South Carolina State claimed a share of its sixth league crown under head coach Buddy Pough, with a 30-20 victory over Norfolk State Saturday at O.C. Dawson Stadium.
The Bulldogs close out the season at 8-4 overall, 6-2 in the MEAC, while the Spartans finished 4-8 overall, 4-4 in the league.
Pough's message was not lost on his players who rode the momentum of an 11-play, 99-yard drive to a 30-20 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference win over the Spartans during Senior Day, in which 20 Bulldogs seniors were honored in a special pregame ceremony. SC State also celebrated Faculty and Staff Appreciation and High School Band Day.
The victory, which was marred by a 25-minute interruption in play following a fight between the teams early in the final quarter, sent the SC State seniors out winners, and coupled with NC Central's 21-14 triumph over league leader North Carolina A&T, gave Pough's team a share of the 2014 MEAC crown, marking the sixth time the Bulldogs have won on shared the league title during Pough's 13-years tenure.
