ORANGEBURG, SC— South Carolina State conducted its first evening session of spring drills Friday (March.22
nd) in helmets and shells in a two and half-hour session at Oliver. C. Dawson Stadium/Willie Jeffries Field.
"Today was one of our better practices so far during spring drills," said head coach Buddy Pough. "It's still early on and we are working more and more through the installation phase. The good thing about it is that we return some veteran guys which makes things run smoothly."
Pough noted, "The secondary shows signs of stability early on and a few newcomers that was added are really picking of things quickly."
South Carolina State will end spring drills with the annual Garnet and Blue spring game April 13. The contest kicks off at 12 noon, at O.C. Dawson Stadium and admission is free.
Prior to the game on Friday, April 13th, the South Carolina State Class of 1975 will host its annual Lift-A-Bulldog Oyster Roast Fundraiser held on the campus of SC State. More details about the event will be given at a later date.
Pough and the Bulldogs will play an 11-game schedule, beginning in the season-opener on August, 31
st at home versus Wofford University, Kick-off is 6 p.m. Season tickets are now on sale and can be purchased by calling
