ORANGEBURG, SC---The Bulldogs conducted their second day of preseason drills Saturday (Aug. 3^rd) in a morning session at Bulldog Practice Field.
 
Pough's team focused their attention on the installation phase of the offense and defense schemes during a two-hour workout session.
 
"Despite the early phases of preseason and working on the installation drills, I am really pleased at the way some of the players are adjusting," said head coach Buddy Pough. "We have some players that really came back to camp in shape so we are really excited about that."
 
"When you look at some of the new guys, you have an idea that they can play a position, but once they get more familiar with the process I'm confident that can help this football team moving forward", stated Pough.

Red-shirt freshman wide receiver Shaquille Davis (6-5, 210, Summerville, SC) displayed moments of excitement on offense with catches from red-shirt junior quarterback Tyrece Nick (6-0, 170, Johnston, SC).
