South Carolina State shows stirring resolve in losing effort against Indiana
When FBS Indiana leapt out to a big lead against South Carolina State, putting up three touchdowns and 221 yards in the first quarter alone, it looked the expected rout was on.

Former standout Malcolm Long is still contributing at South Carolina State
Malcolm Long has left his helmet and pads behind, but he hasn’t left South Carolina State.

Big challenges go hand in hand with big expectations for South Carolina State
They’ve got a fistful of MEAC crowns, and are picked to win it all again. But don’t think South Carolina State’s Bulldogs aren’t facing their own obstacles this offseason.

South Carolina State suffered a rare stumble in 2010, having to settle for a shared title after winning the MEAC two consecutive years.

South Carolina State came in ranked a dozen spots higher than Georgia Southern in the championship subdivision. Somebody forgot to tell Georgia Southern, who won 41-16 on the strength of a devastating rush attack.
