Rivalry renewed: Reliving the Miami Hurricanes' five wins over the Florida Gators since 2000

We are within a week of the Miami Hurricanes' showdown with the Florida Gators in Orlando on Saturday to open the 2019 college football season _ a week ahead of most other schools starting their seasons.

The once-annual rivalry was discontinued after the 1987 meeting. UM and UF wouldn't meet again in the regular season until a home-and-home series in 2002 and 2003, but they would end up facing each other in the Sugar Bowl following the 2000 season and the 2004 Peach Bowl. The Hurricanes and Gators would play again in Gainesville in 2008 and in Miami Gardens in 2013. They've also added a home-and-home series for 2024 and 2025, according to a report.

Since the hiatus in the rivalry ended, Miami is 5-1 against Florida. Tim Tebow, Percy Harvin and the Gators won the 2008 installment en route to a national championship, but for the sake of this piece, here's a look back at the Hurricanes' five wins over the Gators since the turn of the century.
