compete with top teams, when the game is on the line. SCSU players are moving from good to great and his final touchdown is indictive of greatness. Terrence Smith one hand touchdown last year is another example of greatness. All the Dawgs are part of the greatness which is about to take place often. GO DAWGS... "
