Florida has canceled a future football series with Notre Dame, according to reports. The two programs have a notable history, most famously meeting in the 1991 Sugar Bowl where Notre Dame defeated Florida 39-28 in New Orleans. In that game, Jerome Bettis scored three touchdowns for the Fighting Irish, including a memorable moment where he mocked the Gator chomp celebration after his third score.
Details regarding the scheduling of the canceled series, the reasons behind the decision, or potential replacement opponents were not immediately available. Both programs have traditionally been among the most prominent in college football, with Florida competing in the Southeastern Conference and Notre Dame maintaining its independent status in football while belonging to the Atlantic Coast Conference for other sports.
