Florida at Miami live updates: Latest score, highlights, analysis

Florida and Miami are set to meet in a rekindling of an in-state rivalry that stretches back for decades. The Hurricanes won last year’s meeting convincingly in Gainesville and now get to host the Gators in Hard Rock Stadium.

While Miami has gotten out to a 3-0 start to the season, Florida has lost its last two games. All of the pressure is on coach Billy Napier to produce, particularly in games against top-notch teams.

On3 will have a live blog running throughout the night, keeping you up to date with all the action. We begin now.

END OF 1ST QUARTER: Miami 7-0 Florida

09/20/2025 07:21:22 PM

Florida once again went three-and-out offensively, and it looks like the same old issues for the Gators. A third-and-2 seemed to have a chance before a false start on the offensive line essentially killed the drive.

Miami took over and found things a little more difficult on its second drive, with the Florida defense putting up a bit more fight. But the ‘Canes are still driving as the first quarter ends, and they’re 5-of-5 on third down at the moment.

SCORE ALERT – 1Q, 9:25: Miami 7-0 Florida

09/20/2025 06:56:24 PM

Miami marched right down the field on Florida. It did have to convert one third down, but Carson Beck found Malachi Toney for 13 yards and then the drive was off and running.

Florida’s tackling was a definite problem on the opening defensive drive, something that’ll have to be monitored going forward in the game. The Hurricanes just leaned on the offensive line for the score, a 2-yard run from CharMar Brown. And off we go.

1Q, 13:04: Florida goes three-and-out

09/20/2025 06:48:23 PM

Florida goes fairly conservative on its opening drive, starting with a pair of runs. Both lost yardage. That left Lagway in a no-win situation on third down and he scrambles for a loss, setting up a punt. Now it’s Miami’s turn to try its hand on offense.

Miami wins the toss, defers

09/20/2025 06:45:33 PM

Miami has won the opening coin toss and deferred to the second half, so Florida will start with the ball. It’ll be interesting to see how the offense fares, given that just one week ago quarterback DJ Lagway threw five interceptions in a road start at LSU.
