1935 Orange Bowl

The 1935 Orange Bowl was a postseason American college football bowl game between the Bucknell Bison and Miami. It was the first edition of the Orange Bowl and took place at Miami Field, on the same site as the Orange Bowl stadium (which was built in 1937) in Miami, Florida on January 1, 1935. Bucknell won the game 26-0.

Bucknell, champion of the smaller Eastern colleges, was the first team invited to the Orange Bowl Classic, which had been called the Palm Festival for the previous two years. The Bison defense held Miami to just four first downs and 28 yards total offense en route to the inaugural 26-0 victory. The Bucknell offense gained 278 yards and earned its sixth shutout of the season.
