ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- A homecoming win against Hampton last Saturday was nice, but a win this Saturday for the South Carolina State Bulldogs football team is much more important.
In essence, this game is for all the marbles and the bag the marbles came in when it comes to this season and a shot at a conference title.
North Carolina A&T (7-1 overall, 5-0 in MEAC play) and SCSU (5-3 overall, 4-1 in MEAC play) will kick off at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, inside Oliver C. Dawson Bulldog Stadium.
N.C. A&T — ranked 19th in the current Football Championship Subdivision poll — is the last unbeaten team in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference standings. For the Bulldogs to have any share of the conference title (as they did in a five-way tie in 2014), they must win this game.
The Aggies come in first in the conference in many categories, including scoring offense and scoring defense. Their only loss was to the North Carolina Tar Heels. A win won’t be an easy assignment for the Bulldogs, but they will be at home and are riding a three-game win streak after this past Saturday’s homecoming win against Hampton, 34-20.
