The Central Michigan football team will head to Florida in 2019 to take on five-time national champion Miami.

The game, finalized earlier this week, will mark the first time the Chippewas have faced the Miami Hurricanes.

“A game against Miami – a university with a history of being a national title contender – fulfills a promise we make to our student-athletes that we will compete against the best,” CMU Director of Athletics Michael Alford said. “It also puts us in a state with a large contingent of CMU alumni, giving them a convenient opportunity to take in a Chippewa football game.
