One week before playing their first game against the Miami Hurricanes in six years, news swirled to suggest the Florida Gators would be meeting up with their longtime rivals again before long.
Last week, Edgar Thompson and Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel and Brett McMurphy of Stadium reported that Florida and Miami were in discussions (the Sentinel’s report) and had agreed to (McMurphy’s) a home-and-home series in 2024 and 2025; on Tuesday, the schools confirmed it, announcing the games for August 31, 2024 in Gainesville and September 20, 2025 in Miami.
