ORANGEBURG, South Carolina --It’s been a tumultuous offseason for South Carolina State University, and none of it directly involved the school’s football team.Even so, 14th-year head coach Buddy Pough said he’ll be glad to see the Bulldogs back on the field Tuesday morning at 7 a.m. for the first of 15 spring practices. He hopes the onset of spring drills brings a much-needed boost to an S.C. State fanbase that has mostly listened to disheartening news about the university’s finances over the last few months.
“We have a had a thing or two going on, haven’t we,” Pough said. “It will be good to get back out there. It will be great to do something positive for our university. It will be nice to get a little excitement going again.”
Aside from the aforementioned factors beyond the Bulldogs’ control, spring football won’t be much different for S.C. State. Pough said the 15 days of practice, capped by an April 11 spring game, will be centered on evaluating the Bulldogs younger players, some of which will be counted on to step into more prominent roles in 2015.
