ORANGEBURG, SC – South Carolina State conducted its third of 15 spring football workouts Saturday morning in cool and cloudy temperatures, practicing in full gear before the Bulldogs finished up an approximate two-hour session that got underway at 10:30 a.m.
"It's always good to see guys moving around and having fun on the field," said SC State head coach Buddy Pough. "We have a lot of new guys developing into pretty good players so this gives us a chance to evaluate them effectively."
"We are making strides but it's always good to have players you can work with," Pough stated. "We are still installing and trying to work on individual techniques on both sides of the ball and in some of our key positions like at quarterback."
Pough, who is entering his 14th season at the helm for SC State, said he loves the enthusiasm from both the new and returning players during the early part of spring drills.
He also talked about, the changeup in practice schedule from Sunday to Monday morning at 6:30 a.m., including Wednesday and Friday during next week's spring drills."
The Bulldogs will resume practice Monday morning in a 6:30 a.m. workout.
South Carolina State will hold two scrimmages during the spring on Saturday, March 28 and Friday, April 3 and will culminate drills with the Apr. 11 annual Garnet and Blue Spring game.
