Lane Dragons falls at homecoming to Tuskegee

Jackson, Tennessee -- Things went wrong all day for Lane College, and just about everything went right for Tuskegee. That added up to a 41-17 win for the Golden Tigers at Lane's homecoming.

"We just didn't have anything going right for us today," said Lane head coach Derrick Burroughs. "It's hard to find anything positive when you play like we did today. "They just kicked our butts on both sides of the ball."

Tuskegee head coach Willie Slater said his team is still a work in progress, but there was plenty to build on in the win. "We did a lot of good things, especially offensively," Slater said. "We're getting better in some areas, and our ground game is one of them."

The Tigers moved the ball at will at times in the first half against the Dragons, compiling 122 rushing yards on 25 carries while the defense held Lane to 38 yards before halftime. Most of Tuskegee's yards came in the second quarter.
