ORANGEBURG, SC – The starting time for SC State's first three scheduled football practices has been changed. The Bulldogs, who reported to the campus today (Aug. 1) will practice Tuesday through Thursday at 6:40 p.m. instead of the originally announced time of 3:10 p.m.
The change was made due to the expected high temperatures hovering around 100 degrees at the earlier time, according to Bulldog head coach Buddy Pough.
The Bulldogs will also practice at 6:40 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, the originally announced times. Earlier in the day on Saturday, SC State will conduct its Media Day beginning at 9 a.m. at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium.
