MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The student section sang Happy Birthday to Brad Kaaya before the game, and there were a slew of text messages awaiting the Miami quarterback afterward.All that was nice, but all he really wanted was what was on the scoreboard.Kaaya threw for four touchdowns on the day he turned 21, Miami scored a school-record 42 points in the third quarter and the Mark Richt era began with an easy 70-3 win over Florida A&M on Saturday night.This is the only birthday present I wanted today, honestly, Kaaya said. All the other things are cool and stuff, but this is what the day was about.The Hurricanes (1-0) had three backs -- Joe Yearby, Mark Walton and Gus Edwards -- all top 100 yards, the first time a Miami trio has done that since 1987.

I like these players. I like this university. I like the vibe of the city. Im very thankful to be here.THE TAKEAWAYFlorida A&M: The Rattlers got plenty of players involved both rushing and receiving, played two quarterbacks and put together a pair of relatively solid drives in the second quarter. In short, plenty of players got experience.Miami: The Hurricanes flirted with matching the school-record for points (77 against Savannah State in 2013) and sold more than 60,000 tickets. And the starting linebacker trio of Zach McCloud, Shaq Quarterman and Michael Pinckney -- all true freshmen -- got their college careers off to a flying start. It was a great experience, Quarterman said. The last trio of Miami backs to top 100 yards in the same game was Leonard Conley, Melvin Bratton and Warren Williams against Cincinnati on Oct. 24, 1987.POLL IMPLICATIONSMiamis drought may be over.The Hurricanes last appeared in the AP Top 25 on Nov. 10, 2013 -- 39 polls ago.

NEW YORK -- Billy Bean has come full circle, throwing out the first pitch for the first Mets Pride Night on Saturday against his former San Diego team.Bean came out as gay after he left the Padres in 1995. Now hes Major League Baseballs vice president for social responsibility and inclusion. In the past two years, hes talked to all 30 MLB ownership groups, various teams and players about struggling with his sexuality during his career and gay and lesbian inclusion in the workplace.The message is everyone is welcome that walks through the turnstiles to watch us play baseball, Bean said. The LGBT community is part of every community.Mets general manager Sandy Alderson approached Bean after he heard him speak to GMs in 2014. Since then, the former outfielder who had a six-year career with Detroit, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Padres has participated in spring training, spoken with players and thrown batting practice. Hes helped former teammate and Mets coach Tommy Goodwin with the outfielders.(Alderson) wanted them to know about me, said Bean, who grew up in Santa Ana, California. My dad is a Marine Corps veteran, like Sandy. I grew up in a big family, very conservative. Lot of things that were explanations of why I chose to leave baseball as opposed to talk about what was going on with me.The Mets are among 10 teams hosting Pride Nights this season, and the first among the four New York mens major pro sports to host the theme night. A portion of ticket sales will go to the LGBT Network, which promotes anti-bullying programs in the New York area.Here are some things to know about Bean, who also talks to people in the front office, instructional leagues and minor leagues.---LIFE SKILLS: Bean says his job is to help younger players from all backgrounds and cultures understand workplace expectations. A lot of people forget our players are 19, 20, 21 years old, he said. Theyre world class baseball players, and they havent had time to learn all the ways of the world. We really prioritize messaging on life skills, domestic violence awareness and counseling about relationships. The inclusive conversation is a wonderful part of that comprehensive message.Bean says the comments in the clubhouse that everybodys been hearing for the last 500 years will take time and education to reduce. It was acceptable to be disparaging. When guys are ragging other guys, they feminize them. The comments were sexist as much as they were homophobic.---TOUGH LESSONS: Bean says he quit baseball without talking to one person about why. I had never come out to my family, I was living a very secretive, dark liffe, he said.dddddddddddd My partner died of HIV-related causes on the eve of what was my last season.Brad Ausmus, the current Detroit Tigers manager, was Beans teammate and friend. He says Ausmus and his wife talk about how things might have changed if I just would have told him. He would have said, `Dont stop playing or just tell your parents or dont tell your parents, just talk to us.I didnt realize there was a place for me in this world, and I didnt even trust the people that loved me the most -- my own family.Alderson was part of the Oakland organization when Glenn Burke, the first MLB player to publicly acknowledge he was gay, played for the Dodgers (1976-78) and Athletics (1978-79). Burke left the majors after receiving little playing time with the As. He died at 42 of complications from AIDS in 1995.---PROGRESS: Milwaukee Brewers minor league first baseman David Denson became the first active player in affiliated professional baseball to come out in August 2015. Bean says Denson called him for advice six months beforehand. We made sure his parents were in the loop. I was surprised the day he did it. He texted me and said `You wont believe what I just did.Bean says its not the goal for baseball players to reveal their sexuality, but its important to provide a respectful workplace. Currently, there are no out active players in the NBA, NFL, NHL or MLB. Its a personal decision. Thats not going to be how I judge the work were doing.Former Met Daniel Murphy, a self-described Christian, said he disagreed with the lifestyle of people who are gay after Bean spoke to the team in March 2015.Bean says racism didnt end the day Jackie Robinson ran across the field. He noted progress on LGBT issues moved forward with Supreme Court rulings on marriage equality and backward with some states passing laws prohibiting protections in housing and employment for LGBT people.---PRIDE NIGHTS: Philadelphia has hosted Pride Night since 2001, and the Washington Nationals celebrated their 12th. Others with the theme night are the Chicago Cubs, Boston, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco, Seattle and Tampa Bay.Lou DePaoli, the Mets executive vice president and chief revenue officer, calls New York a diverse and inclusive city and says we are particularly proud to welcome the LGBT community.Community organizations can propose theme nights to the marketing departments of MLB teams.Bean says the Mets are sending a great message not only to their fans, but for all of baseball.
