ORANGEBURG, SC – SC State continued fall football workouts Sunday (Aug.9) in a live spirited two-hour session. The workout was the third preseason practice and first in shoulder pads for the Bulldogs. Coach Buddy Pough's team continued to emphasize fundamentals and also worked on some team and individual-style drills.

Pough said that his team was lively at times but overall was pleased with how great the weather has been the first three sessions of preseason practice. He noted it made it possible to get a lot of things accomplished working with some of the newcomers.

"At this point it's too early to evaluate either the offense of defense," said Pough. "I know we have a talented group of guys both returning and newcomers on both sides of the ball, who make it exciting to watch."

"We have had some of the new guys step up and challenge some of the veteran players and show signs of development, so you can tell that belong here.  But for the most part we are still in the installation stages so we will keep moving forward and working towards getting better overall as a team."

The Bulldogs will conduct its third practice Sunday (Aug. 9), in a morning session at 9:30 a.m. in helmets and shells, followed by a Monday (Aug.10) morning workout before suiting up in full gear on Tuesday (Aug.11).

Coach Buddy Pough's team will hold its annual "Press and Picture Day" Saturday (Aug. 15), beginning at 9 a.m. at the O.C. Dawson Stadium before conducting its first preseason scrimmage at 3:10 p.m. The team's annual "Meet the Players Day", sponsored by The STATE Club, will be held August 22^nd at 3:30 p.m. and will be preceded by the second preseason scrimmage at 1 p.m.
