PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — Success has been elusive for the Division II Lincoln University football team since they revived their football program for the 2008 season, following a nearly 50-year hiatus. The Lions have not won more than three games in any season and last year they went just 1-9.
But Lincoln, who plays in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, is hoping to take steps in the right direction here in 2015 and they will do so under the watchful eye of interim head coach Herb Pickens.
“Camp’s been a grind, man,” Pickens tells KYW Newsradio. “But it’s been exciting.”
Pickens says right now the strength of the team looks to be the defense.
“We’re having a lot of success up front and on the back end with our secondary,” Pickens says. “Pleasant surprise at a few spots at the linebacker position. So definitely the defense has jumped out and taken the lead of the team.”
