JACKSON, Tennessee -- There are a few things Lane College's football team refuses to be content with. The first issue being last year's performance, and the second being their preseason rankings.
Since head coach Derrick Burroughs' emergence, Lane College has progressed towards a winning tradition. But the Dragons 5-5 finish last year was not what the team aimed for.
The football program understands that last year was a learning experience, and plans on using those blunders to their advantage.
"I think we have to beat people consistently for them to respect us," said coach Burroughs confidently. "No team really scares me. We don't fear anybody."
That high spirit from Coach Burroughs is generated by his venerable defense. Lane's defensive unit finished last season leading the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in pass defense (5.7 yards per efficiency), while collecting 12 interceptions.
