Bulldogs In Full Pads For First Time During Preseason Drills

ORANGBURG, SC—SC State donned full gear for the first time Wednesday morning during its fifth preseason fall workout. Bulldog head coach Pough called Wednesday's practice a productive one and saw some improvement on both sides of the ball.

"It was the last day of acclamation," Pough said. "You get a little closer to team style type of football, and most of our guys are adjusting and getting prepared for the real action we start on tomorrow."

"We devoted the early part of practice to special teams and fundamental type drills," continued Pough. "It's still a pretty much a big group of guys doing what they need to do to get things done. It will be interesting to see when we get most our installation done where we can sharpen things up."

SC State will conduct its first of staggered two-a-day practices Thursday, with the morning session set for 9:30 a.m. with the evening workout scheduled for 7:10. The morning practice will be in full pads, while the evening workout will be in shells, according to Pough.
