SCSU Bulldogs open fall football camp in search of QB depth

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- If it was physically possible and OK with the NCAA, South Carolina State head football coach Buddy Pough would have had Friday morning’s first preseason practice last all day, as he opened camp for his 14th season at the helm.

He made sure to mention that he was “the happiest guy” there, and so glad to be moving on from an off-season of budget cuts and program adjustments, and moving into football season preparations.

Those preparations were in action, in helmets and shorts at least, on Willie E. Jeffries Field inside Oliver C. Dawson Stadium all morning. Right at 95 players were involved in workouts for the two-hour session, the first of 27 practices the Bulldogs will have this preseason.

At the top of the to-do list for Pough and his staff — find out who is close to being ready to play major roles this season, and find depth at the quarterback position.
