Granted, it hasn’t been since 2013 that Florida football and Miami squared off.
Sept. 7, 2013, was when Miami defeated the Gators, 21-16, avenging a 26-3 beating the Gators gave the Hurricanes five years before.
But, it has been pretty quiet since.
That was until Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin decided to remove patsies on the Gators’ schedule in lieu of tougher competition.
Enter this season when the Gators will take on Miami in the first game of the season. They will square off at 7 p.m. Aug. 24. It will be the first time since that 2013 meeting they have played each other in football.
