S.C. State shuts out Florida A&M, 36-0

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- The South Carolina State Bulldogs football team got the medicine that cures all ills on Thursday night at Oliver C. Dawson Bulldog Stadium – a win to start conference play.

Opening the MEAC schedule, SCSU got back to doing what this team has to do to be successful this season, getting a 36-0 win against Florida A&M. It was a great way to move on from Saturday’s 41-14 home loss to FCS top-ranked Coastal Carolina.

“This is exactly what the doctor ordered for us,” SCSU head coach Buddy Pough said afterwards. “We showed some signs of life on offense, our quarterback is improving by leaps and bounds every day, and we ran the ball very well.”

The vaunted defense stood strong, senior tailback Jalen “Scoot” Simmons (190 yards on 16 carries) helped establish a solid ground game, and freshman quarterback Caleb York managed the offense for a win in his second collegiate start.
