South Carolina State has revised its 2006 schedule that will now have the Bulldogs playing on the Labor Day weekend, with an open date on Sept. 30.

The changes were made after discussions with officials at Wofford and Coastal Carolina, according to Bulldogs athletics director Charlene Johnson.

In the revised schedule, SCSU’s previously listed Sept. 23 game against Wofford in Spartanburg will now be played Sept. 2 (Labor Day weekend). Also changed is the Bulldogs’ Sept. 30 contest against Coastal Carolina at Conway, which will be moved to Sept. 23. And, Sept. 30 now becomes an open date for Coach Buddy Pough’s team, whose previous open date was Sept. 2.

The 11-game, 2006 slate includes four home games — Bethune-Cookman, Sept. 16; Norfolk State, Oct. 7; Hampton, Oct. 21; and Howard (Homecoming), Nov. 4.

Other road games, in addition to Wofford and Coastal Carolina, include Winston-Salem State, Sept. 9; Florida A&M, Oct. 14; Delaware State, Oct. 28; Morgan State, Nov. 11; and North Carolina A&T, Nov. 18.

Starting times for all contests will be confirmed later.
