The Johnson C. Smith football team will look to rebound from last Saturday’s disappointing 37-35 road loss at Morehouse when it hits the road for the third consecutive week, this time travelling to Virginia Union to open their CIAA schedule.

On the first JCSU drive, the offense struggled to get going, as Kentucky State recorded a sack on first down and two plays later, Herbin’s pass was picked off by KSU’s Nathan Robinson.  On the first Thorobred drive, KSU also fell victim to the interception, as JCSU’s Dave Mann (Atlanta, Ga.) stepped in front of an Ora Johnson pass, giving JCSU the ball at their own 40 yard line.

Lane, completed 14 of 19 pass attempts for 192 yards in his collegiate debut against Wingate on Saturday night without throwing an interception.  He tossed a game high 43 yard pass to teammate Fred Scott (Stone Mountain, Ga.) while finishing with a 121.37 efficiency rating.
