Next up are the two FBS opponents, a Sept. 15 trip to Tucson to meet Arizona and then a visit to College Station on Sept. 22 for an encounter with Texas A&M.

South Carolina State will finish off the difficult start to the season by hosting 2011 MEAC champ Norfolk State on Sept. 29.

The Bulldogs' other home games are against Howard on Homecoming Day Oct. 27 and Savannah State on Nov. 17.
