CaliFlorida Bowl Is Set for Jan. 2

The third CaliFlorida Bowl all-star football game will be Jan. 2 at Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Stadium. Game time is to be announced.

The previous games had been in June each year, with Florida winning, 17-14, last summer and California winning the inaugural game, 21-11, in 2000.

“We knew that there would be a lot of excitement in Southern California this year with the Rose Bowl hosting the [college] national championship [game], and these marquee players deserve the opportunity to play during a time when the country will be turning to California for the best football played by today’s student-athletes,” said Steve Clarkson, president of Air 7 Sports, the game’s promoter.

The game will be televised on Fox Sports Net.
