Big wins, two close conference losses tell the story of 2015 S.C. State Bulldogs football season

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- It was quite the odd and interesting season for the South Carolina State football team.

They started the season in a sprint, playing three games in 12 days, before having a bye week and then running through three games in 15 days.

Outscoring their final two opponents by a combined tally of 69-39 in back-to-back road games didn’t make up for the Bulldogs dropping a 9-6 home game to North Carolina A&T the first week of November. A win against the Aggies would have given them a share of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Championship.

That opportunity left, but those final two wins did make it a winning season with a 7-4 overall record and a 6-2 record in MEAC play.

“It’s sad, but it’s true,” SCSU head football coach Buddy Pough said in his season-ending press conference on Monday. “We’re done and the 2015 season is behind us.

“We’ve been somewhat successful, but I wish we’d done more.”
