ORANGEBURG, SC – Following two consecutive practices in shells, SC State worked out in full pads for approximately two hours at the 9:30 a.m. morning preseason session.
"It was a hot and steamy morning," said Bulldog head coach Buddy Pough. "Anytime you are coming off a two-a-day and you're right back at it the next morning it's hard to adjust for most guys."
During Tuesday's workout, the Bulldogs concentrated on special teams (kicking game) the first start of practice, but wrapped it up with some situational drills on offense and defense that they (coaching staff) recently installed.
Pough stated, "We have a few guys with minor injuries, but nothing that will keep them (players) out of finishing preseason drills."
SC State will return to the practice field Wednesday with two workouts – an early morning session at 9:30 a.m. and an evening practice at 7:10.
MEET THE PLAYERS DAYSC State will hold its annual "Meet the Players Day" Saturday (Aug. 16), beginning at 12:30 p.m. at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium, following a 10 a.m. scrimmage.
