The 1935 Orange Bowl was an American college football bowl game between the Bucknell Bison and Miami Hurricanes. Bucknell won the game, 26–0.[1] It was the first edition of the Orange Bowl and kicked off at 2:30 pm[2] at Miami Field in Miami on January 1, 1935, with about 5,000 in attendance.[3] Miami Field was located on the same site as the Orange Bowl stadium, which was built in 1937.
