After thoroughly dominating the first half Saturday, South Carolina State went to the locker room at the half tied with Bethune-Cookman at 7-7, thanks to a 93-yard interception turn of a Malcolm Long pass. South Carolina State coach Buddy Pough was unfazed. "That could have turned the momentum around, but we just had to throw that play out and forget it," Pough said. Mission accomplished.

S.C. State took care of business in the second half and pulled away fthe Wildcats 28-19 before 12,495 fans at Johnson Hagood Stadium in the Lowcountry Classic III. Tailback William Ford rushed for 175 yards and two touchdowns, while Long recovered from his first-half interception and went on to complete 16 of 24 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown.
