ORANGEBURG, SC—South Carolina State wrapped up its 13
th of 15 scheduled spring workout, Wednesday morning with a two-hour enthusiastic session at Dawson Stadium.
SC State, in the final stages of spring workouts with one practice remaining -- including the annual Spring Garnet & Blue game --, will
play a 12-game schedule in 2014. The Bulldogs open the campaign on Aug. 30 when Pough's team battle intrastate rival Benedict College in the Palmetto Capital City Classic in Columbia.
"We are pretty much done with the thick of things for spring drills and overall we had a pretty good day of practice," said Bulldog head coach Buddy Pough. "We are actually starting to show some signs of coming together as a football team."
"We are on pace with the development of the new guys for next year's team," he continued "The main thing is getting through Saturday at this point and then we move on trying to prepare for the summer before the start of camp."
Pough stated, "It's not unusual at this point in drills where you are short at certain positions with new guys in the mix. You have to move some people around and see who can help you where you need the most help before the start of the season."
