Touchdowns and Highlights: Miami Hurricanes 20-24 Florida Gators, 2019 College Football

Thank you for following along here on VAVEL. The recap of the game will be up shortly. This is Thomas Cluck saying so long! That concludes opening day and the first week of the new season, week zero of college football! A thrilling opening weekend is set to start Thursday with week one kicking the new season into even higher gear soon with our marquee opening weekend matchup between number 11 Oregon and number 16 Auburn in the AdvoCare Classic live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The 2019 college football season is officially here and the opening day game to kickoff the 150th season goes to the eighth-ranked Florida Gators in a wild, unpredictable, topsy-turvy, hard-fought victory over rivals Miami 24-20 under the lights Satrday night in Orlando at Camping World Stadium to win the 2019 Camping World Kickoff. It may be week zero but it's 1-0 and a first week win for Florida as they showed their talent, potential, and also the weaknessess and areas for improvement against a strong Miami Hurricanes team. Despite several turnovers, the Gators and head coach Dan Mullen got it done, led by quarterback Feleipe Franks and a vicious defensive line and front four, surviving the ups and downs of the first game better than a sometimes sloppy and inexperienced Miami team.

Do not miss a detail of the game with the updates and commentaries of VAVEL. Follow along with us all the details, commentaries, analysis, and rosters for this Miami vs. Florida game.

One of the highest-ranked and most-hyped teams coming into the 2019 season after a successful end to 2018, Florida is ranked eighth with second-year head coach Dan Mullen and junior quarterback Feleipe Franks at the helm. After a slow start to last season, Mullen's team in his first year improved steadily at the end, making the New Year's Six and routing a disappointed Michigan Wolverines team in the Peach Bowl to end the year in style. 

A turbulent offseason in Gainesville has left some with questions regarding the Gators' hopes in 2019, but with Franks back and looking better than ever and running back Lamical Perine set to lead a deep Florida backfield once again, fans are hoping the Gators can challenge  rival Georgia once again for supremacy in the SEC East. 

After a shockingly successful 2017 season the saw the Hurricanes play at home in the Orange Bowl in a first New Year's Six appearance and the birth of the famous Turnover Chain, 2018 was a slower year for Miami football. With new head coach and former 'Canes defensive coordinator Manny Diaz taking over for Mark Right after his retirement at the end of last year, expectations are once again high for Miami coming into 2019.

The U was receiving even more hype after the announcement that former Ohio State backup quarterback Tate Martell would be transferring to Coral Gables, putting a fierce quarterback competition into place over the spring and summer. However, to many's surprise, it was Jarren Williams named the starting quarterback and it will be Williams heading out onto the field and under center Saturday night in the biggest game of his life as Miami kicks off the 2019 college football season under the Orlando lights against fierce rival Florida.

The 2019 college football season is finally here and it's opening day, kicking the season off with a week zero rivalry between the Miami Hurricanes and the eighth-ranked Florida Gators in the 2019 Camping World Kickoff. 

Celebrating college football's 150th anniversary, the Hurricanes and Gators start the new season in Orlando to kickoff a storied in-state rivalry between Miami out of the ACC and Florida in the SEC.
