it’s very ironic that Charleston Southern is located in North Charleston…the Spiders have never played the Buccaneers who are members of the Big South conference…the Big South has joined with the Ohio Valley conference to form a football Association of nine programs.
CSU head coach Gabe Giardina enters his 2nd full season off of a 4-7, 2-4 Big South 2023 season…last season the Bucs struggled offensively…they showed potential on the defensive side of the ball, but were inconsistent…
Coach Giardina hope’s a year’s experience and key newcomers will make the Buccaneers more competitive in the tougher Association…Giardina runs a pro spread offense and a multiple front defense…Charleston Southern returns 14 starters from the 2023 squad…the Association’s Media Day preseason poll picks the Bucs to finish 6th in the 9 team Association…
this is another game in which the Spiders will likely be significant favorites…the game should serve as another chance to develop team skills on the field against a team we should defeat…a solid performance and win should serve the Spiders well when the schedule gets tougher in late September…
enjoy the Countdown!
Go Spiders!
