Week 7: SC State vs. Howard

This week, the bulldogs of SC State, traveled to the nations capitol to prepare for game day against one of the well known HBCU's of all time, the Bison's of Howard University. 
     Getting off to a slow start, presumably due to the two weeks off, the bulldogs had a scoreless first quarter. It wasn't until the second quarter, that the all-star defense that the football program is known for showed up! With 6:19 remaining in the half, Darius Leonard returned a 64 yard interception for a bulldog touchdown!! Tyler Scandrett followed with the PAT bringing the game score to 7-0 at the half. However, Howard wasn't going into their locker rooms for half-time without a fight. The kicker for the Bison's Dakota Lebofsky made a 24-yard field goal with nearly a minutes and a half left in the quarter. The halftime score was 7-3.
 Even after half-time, the game still presented itself to be a struggle for the bulldogs. In the middle of the 3rd quarter, the Bison's own Kyle Anthoy caught a 6-yard pass from his quarterback and put 6 more on the board for the Bison's. The PAT failed. lol Leaving the score at SC State:7 and Howard:9. In all my years at this university, i don't believe we have lost to Howard, or struggled in a game against them. Ultimately the bulldogs ended up gathering themselves accordingly and scoring early in the fourth quarter to seal the win. The TD was a 5 yard pass to Mykal Moody and Scandrett followed with the PAT. Next week is homecoming, or WONL or the LHIA, our homecoming has so many nicknames and is known for so many things, just make sure you dont forget to stop by to get your weekly dose of Bulldog football!
