S.C. STATE FOOTBALL: Frustration put into perspective

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- Bulldog fans are frustrated, confused and, in some cases, really upset.

The South Carolina State football program -- with 16 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championships and four Sheridan Broadcasting Network National Black Champion titles in its history -- just experienced a disappointing 3-7 season.

This has never been the norm in Orangeburg.

All five road games resulted in losses this year. And it didn't help matters that the season finale was a 34-10 loss this past Saturday at Savannah State, a program that plans to move down to the NCAA Division II ranks soon and started a freshman quarterback from the same high school as S.C. State's starting quarterback.

Now the Bulldogs program is examing what it will look like going forward, with head coach Oliver "Buddy" Pough talking daily with first-year athletic director Stacy Danley, looking at what changes might need to be made on his staff. And with Pough being in the final year of his contract, after 16 seasons at the helm, an announcement is expected from Danley and the administration by the end of next week on Pough's future with the Bulldogs.
