Hello, again: Miami Hurricanes, Alabama to play football in Atlanta

The Miami Hurricanes and Alabama Crimson Tide are finally playing each other in football again.

For the first time since the 1993 Sugar Bowl, Miami and Bama will meet on the gridiron as they open up the 2021 college football season at the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The date and time for the kickoff game has not been set.

Alabama, which beat Florida State on Saturday night in one of the kickoff games, is currently ranked No. 1 in the nation. The Hurricanes opened their season with a win over Bethune-Cookman.

“It’s truly special when you can create a dream matchup like this featuring two of the biggest brands in college football,” Peach Bowl CEO and president Gary Stokan said in a statement.
