Florida-UAB at Orange Bowl Classic

Defending national champion Florida will meet Alabama-Birmingham in the Orange Bowl Classic on Dec. 30, event officials announced Monday.

The second game of the doubleheader — part of a weeklong series of events leading up to the Orange Bowl — will pit Miami against Nebraska.

It'll be Florida's eighth trip to the event; the Gators are 6-1 all-time. Each game will be played at Lakeland's BankAtlantic Center.
