Texas defensive back transfer Adrian Colbert made his Miami Hurricanes debut last Saturday night against FAMU. He summed up his first action as a Cane.
“It was crazy to be out there with my boys that I’ve been grinding all summer with,” he said.
Not only did his team come away victorious, but he played a role in that as he recorded his fist interception in the green and orange. It was also his first game as a cornerback, as he made the switch from safety.
“We were in a cover 3 so I was just bailing man and the quarterback just threw it up to my guy – I guess he thought he was open. I came down with it and almost fell. I was real tired,” Colbert said. “I was able to highpoint it and come down with it.”
With Miami handling the Rattlers all night long, how much of the defensive playbook did we see on Saturday night? Very little, according to Colbert.
“Not much. Not much at all,” he said. “Like 10%,” Colbert added.
“We just gotta have people stepping up. Next man. We have to go and work hard and play as good as the guy before you,” Colbert said.
“We’ve just got to take care of our bodies after practice and before practice getting ice and stretching.”
Colbert on the possibility of being ranked: “Rankings don’t matter at all. We’ve got to go out and play every team like it’s Florida State at the end of the season is when it matters.”
