In-state rivals Florida and Miami are reportedly close to signing a deal to play in Orlando's Citrus Bowl in 2019, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
The Gators and Hurricanes would faceoff for the first time since 2013 when Miami pulled out a 21-16 victory. Miami leads the all-time series 29-26, winning seven of the past eight games.
Both programs competed annually until 1987, when Florida dropped Miami from the schedule, citing its Southeastern Conference slate.
