The 1973 Tangerine Bowl was a college football postseason bowl game that featured the Florida Gators and the Miami Redskins (located in Oxford, Ohio and now nicknamed the RedHawks).
Miami completed a perfect regular season with a Mid-American Conference championship, their first since 1965.
Officials decided to move the game to the University of Florida's stadium in Gainesville and invite them, which they accepted.
Chuck Varner of Miami rushed for 157 yards on 28 carries and was named the game's outstanding back, while teammate Brad Cousino was named outstanding lineman.
The Tangerine Bowl returned to Orlando the following year, with renovations approved.
