HOOVER, ALA. — OK, we can officially quash the idea that the Florida Gators have been ducking the UCF Knights for all these years.
In fact, Gators head coach Dan Mullen not only said at SEC Media Days Monday to bring on the Knights, he admitted that he actually pushed to help make the long-awaited series happen.
Although it hasn’t officially been announced, the Gators and the Knights have agreed in principle to a future football series that will include two games in Gainesville (2024 and 2033) and one game at UCF in 2030. Although the school’s two athletic directors — UF’s Scott Stricklin and UCF’s Terry Mohajir — worked out the specifics, Mullen and new UCF coach Gus Malzahn were integral in making the series happen.
