CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Jared Echols threw for three touchdowns, two to Mekhi Campfield, and Charleston Southern beat South Carolina State 49-39 on Saturday in a game the Buccaneers never trailed.
Echols’ 33-yard touchdown pass to Campfield was the game’s first score. Hakeem Watters returned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead.
The Bulldogs got on the board near the end of the first when Keely Watson ran it in from the 7. The missed PAT attempt made it 14-6.
Charleston Southern (3-3) used the second quarter to distance itself when Dwayne Wright crashed in from the 1, Quay Kindell returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown and Echols threw a 13-yard score to Campfield to make it 35-16 before halftime.
Ronnie Robinson threw for 279 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions. Josh Shaw had a pair of short touchdown runs for South Carolina State (5-2) which entered ranked 21st in the Stats Perform poll.
Kickoff was moved up six hours to noon EST in anticipation of inclement weather.
