The Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes are nearing a deal to kick off the 2019 college football season inside Orlando’s Citrus Bowl, according to the Orlando Sentinel’s Mike Bianci.

These two teams, which haven’t played since 2013, once made up a thriving rivalry, until Florida dropped Miami from its schedule in 1987. But according to Bianci, it’s just a matter of time before this deal is finalized.
