SCSU Spring Practice Brief: Day #12 of 15

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- The South Carolina State Bulldogs wrapped up its 12th of 15 scheduled spring workouts, Thursday morning in a 6:15 a.m. session at Oliver. C. Dawson Stadium.
The Bulldogs conducted a two-hour lively session in full gear, consisting of an overview of team and individual style offensive and defensive schemes.

"We are done with the installation process on offense and defense, "said SC State head coach Buddy Pough. "Our main focus now is getting the players ready for the spring game on Saturday."

Pough stated, "The past few practices we try to get a lot more out of these guys physically and mentally. What we don't want to do is get players hurt during the spring session, but we at least want to make the last couple days more physical than usual."

Despite holding out the more experience veteran players, the Bulldog coaches are getting more familiar with new players during the process.

"We are trying to develop as many new guys as we possibly can so it can provide us with more depth moving forward," said Pough.

SC State in the final stages of spring drills will play an 11-game schedule in 2015. The Bulldogs open the campaign on September. 6 when Pough's team battle SWAC foe Arkansas Pine Bluff in the annual MEAC/SWAC Challenge in Orlando, Fla.
