It turns out Miami Hurricanes sophomore cornerback Te’Cory Couch wasn’t too fond of defensive coordinator Blake Baker comparing him to a chihuahua on Monday.
After Baker made the remark to suggest the 5-foot-10, 172-pound Couch is feisty for his size when rushing in on the nickel blitz, Couch, while laughing about it, responded Tuesday, “We got to change that nickname fast. I’m not a fan of that at all.”
“A bulldog, at least,” said Couch, who’s laid back and soft-spoken off the field but aggressive on it.
Couch broke into the North Carolina State backfield for a sack on third-and-9 in the fourth quarter with Miami down 41-37 to get the Hurricanes offense the ball back for what turned out to be the winning touchdown.
