DAYTONA BEACH, Florida — Bethune-Cookman head coach Terry Sims didn’t hesitate when asked about South Carolina State’s identity.“Physical, they’re a very physical football team,” he said during a Wednesday press conference. “That’s been their identity the 10-12 years I’ve been in this league. They’re a physical football team, and on offense, defense and special teams, that’s what they hang their hat on.”
Perhaps this year more than ever, that unit has been particularly dominant for the Bulldogs.
South Carolina State is ranked first in the MEAC in total defense (257 yards per game), second in scoring defense (16.3 points per game), and third in interceptions with seven, including two returned for touchdowns. In their two wins, the Bulldog defense has allowed a total of just 14 points. That unit has allowed no more than 26 points in any of the three losses. With the 26 coming from defending conference champion North Carolina Central (4-1, 3-0).
