DAYTONA BEACH — While Lane College may be a relative unknown for many college football fans, Bethune-Cookman head coach Terry Sims is well aware of his next opponent. And he knows better than to overlook the Division II program from Jackson, Tennessee."They're able to get some athletes that we can't," Sims said Wednesday during his mid-week press conference. "They have coaches that have been around a little bit. Their head coach (Derrick Burroughs) has had a lot of stops in this game, and he'll make sure they're prepared when they come in."
If last season is an indicator, he has plenty of reasons to be aware ahead of the 4 p.m. Saturday kickoff at Municipal Stadium.
The Wildcats nearly fell victim to a stunning upset against another D-II opponent last September, edging Florida Tech 34-33 by intercepting a go-ahead, two-point conversion attempt with 19 seconds left in the game. They were ranked No. 14 in the Football Championship Subdivision at the time.
