Game vs. N.C. A&T could shape SCSU's football season

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- Something to play for. It's what every athlete and every coach looks for in every contest of every season.

The South Carolina State football team has more than something to play for Saturday when lone Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference unbeaten North Carolina A&T comes to town to play the Bulldogs in a 1:30 p.m. MEAC game at Oliver C. Dawson Bulldog Stadium.



SCSU is 5-3 overall, 4-1 in MEAC play, while N.C. A&T is 7-1 overall, 5-0 in the MEAC. A Bulldogs' win would have (at the most) four conference teams playing with a single loss heading into the final two weeks of the season.

An Aggies' win would keep N.C.A&T as the lone unbeaten heading into the final two games at home against winless Delaware State and once-beaten N.C. Central.

The promise of playing for positioning to be among the conference co-champions this late in the season is something SCSU head coach Buddy Pough relishes.
