ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- The football season for South Carolina State should get rolling forward Saturday when the Bulldogs welcome Johnson C. Smith to Oliver C. Dawson Stadium for the home opener.Not only will it be the first time S.C. State has played since a 14-8 loss in the season opener at Southern in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge on Sept. 3, it will be the first time the 0-2 Golden Bulls have played outside of Charlotte this season.
That's right, the Bulldogs haven't played a home game and the Golden Bulls haven't played a road game. But they have three losses and no wins between them. Something has got to give Saturday.
"We didn't even score a touchdown in that first game and, at this point, it's been so long ago I almost can't use that information as something to reflect on," Pough said, since it will have been nearly 13 full days since the Bulldogs last played. "We've still got lots of work to do, maybe on both sides of the ball.
"We need to play better, especially in the early part of the game. Looking back, the weather part I think had a big impact on what we looked like. Now, the fact that we have to go back out and play in the same kind of circumstances, you know, on turf in 90 degrees and humidity, it's kind of a repeat of what we went through. You can run but you can't hide. We have to learn how to deal with those circumstances."
