Lane Dragons seek homecoming victory

JACKSON, Tennessee -- Entering last week, coach Derrick Burroughs mentioned how badly he thought his Dragons needed a win against Point University. They got it, topping Point on the road 16-10.

Today’s opponent will be much tougher. A win over Miles College (6-1, 4-0 SIAC) would almost certainly be the most impressive in Burroughs’ three-year tenure at Lane.

The Dragons (3-4, 1-4 SIAC) host Miles at 2 p.m. The football team at Miles, which is located in Fairfield, Ala. outside Birmingham, has won six straight games.

None of Miles’ four SIAC wins has been close. The narrowest was a 28-7 victory over Clark Atlanta, a team Lane nearly beat but did not. Miles has also pummeled Albany State (41-6), Benedict (50-7), and Kentucky State (45-0).

Lane will need a top-notch performance to secure a win on its homecoming weekend.
