If ever there was a time to set the stage for 2020 for Florida football, Dec. 30 in Miami would be the time to do it.
No. 6 Florida will take on No. 24 Virginia in the 2019 Capital One Orange Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
This is more than just a New Year’s Six bowl berth for Florida football.
It’s a chance to prove something. To prove Gator football is back.
The Gators endured years of futility — just two 10-win seasons from 2010 to 2017. We had to endure Will Muschamp and Jim McElwain — oh, and don’t forget about Randy Shannon.
