Hurricanes football started the season off right, giving Head Coach Mark Richt his first victory with the program in a blowout 70-3 win against the Florida A&M Rattlers.
“Just very thankful for the victory,” Richt said. “I thought our guys showed up with the right frame of mind and played very well early on.”
Miami was able to turn huge defensive plays into scoring opportunities throughout the game, which gave the team an early lead that it would not concede.
Senior defensive back Corn Elder intercepted a pass thrown by FAMU quarterback Kenneth Coleman within the first two minutes of the contest.
