Florida has added University of Alabama-Birmingham to its 2017 football schedule. The Blazers, who have reinstated football and will begin playing in the FBS again that year, will travel to The Swamp on Nov. 18, the week before the Florida State game in Gainesville.
With the addition of UAB, UF has an opening for one more non-conference opponent on its 2017 schedule. The Gators open the season against Michigan on Sept. 2 in Arlington, Texas.
