JACKSON, Tennessee - Now in his third year as the head football coach at Lane College, Derrick Burroughs witnessed something he has been hoping to see since day one. But he also bemoaned a few bad habits the Dragons have been unable to shake as Lane defeated Edward Waters College, 45-28, at Lane Field Saturday.“My first year, we could not get over the hump,” Burroughs said. “And that’s the biggest thing we are trying to get away from. “We kept fighting, but our defense is too soft, not aggressive.”
The defense answered Burroughs’ call in the fourth quarter and pitched a shutout after Lane took a 31-28 lead for good on the final play from scrimmage in the third quarter when Evan Yabu took a five-yard pass from Chris Rini.
“It was pretty much meant for any of the slot receivers,” Yabu said. “But our quarterback (Rini) actually made the play when he scrambled, and that bought him some extra time.”
Rini, who split time with Dyron Speight behind center, completed 10 of his 14 passes for 107 yards and three touchdowns – two to Yabu.
