The 2019 South Carolina State Bulldogs football team represented South Carolina State University in the 2019 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by 18th-year head coach Oliver Pough who became the program’s all-time winningest coach during the season, surpassing former Head Coach Willie Jeffries.[1] The Bulldogs played their home games at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium. They are a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC).

S.C. State was awarded the MEAC Co-Championship together with the North Carolina A&T Aggies.[2]

Both teams finished with 8–3 overall records and 6-2 within the MEAC, however due to Florida A&M being ineligible for postseason play, and by virtue of North Carolina A&T’s victory over South Carolina State, the Aggies received the MEAC’s bid to the Celebration Bowl. As a “bubble team” in consideration for the 2019 FCS Playoffs S.C. State was not chosen, thus ending their season.[3]

Previous season

The Bulldogs finished the 2018 season 5–6, 4–3 in MEAC play to finish in a tie for fourth place.
