Florida football: Miami-Gator rivalry renewal a great idea, and here’s why

That haven’t played each other since 2013, and before that, the rivalry between Florida football and Miami reached a pinnacle in the 1980s before being shelved in the 90s and early 2000s.

Both schools, however, could be open to bringing that rivalry back.

As it stands now, the Aug. 24 season-opening meeting between Florida and Miami at Camping World Stadium in Orlando is the last on the books.

However, the Orlando Sentinel reported both schools could be looking at a home-and-home series starting up as soon as 2023.

Miami leads the season series with the Gators, 26-23 and the Hurricanes have won eight of the last 10 meetings between the schools, dating back to 1984.
