Week 12 SC State vs. Savannah State

The matchup of the Bulldogs of SC State and the Tigers of Savannah State is a much anticipated game. Even though our competitors whom we face vary each season, Savannah is always our last regular season game, and truthfully, we always take care of business! Since I have attended this university I can never recall having a doubt in my mind about defeating when Savannah was our opposing team.

However, there was one senior player in

particular who broke unthinkable barriers. Joe Thomas Sr. Is a Senior running back, yet he's not your typical Senior. Mr Thomas is 55 years old, playing Division-1 football. Mr Thomas has been on the team for a while now but was reluctant to get any reps outside of practice. Well on this day, all of that changed, Thomas carried the ball for 3 yards in Saturday's matchup. At that point, Mr. Joe Thomas Sr. became the oldest player to ever play Division 1 football and made HISTORY and headlines nationwide! What a remarkable day it was in Bulldog country indeed
