Orlando, Florida -- Al-Terek McBurse is excited about Saturday's Florida Classic, as would be any member of the teams playing: Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman University.
But for McBurse, it's not just the pomp and precision of the festivities and competition on the field. There will be one very important person off the field there to witness him playing college football for the first time.
And as long as his parents, Allison McBurse and Clinton Dunston, get Mervin McBurse to the Citrus Bowl on Saturday, everything will be perfect for the FAMU running back, who will also be taking part in his first Florida Classic (2:30 p.m., Citrus Bowl, ESPN Classic).
"She'll be getting to see me for the first time ever in college," McBurse said of the woman who raised him, who will turn 81 next month. "As long as they get my grandma there everything will be good."
