That gave UF a 17-0 lead.</p><p><li><em>POINTS:</em> Iowa got on the scoreboard for the first time with 1:10 remaining in the quarter on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Tate to Clinton Solomon.

Both men were taken down by police officers, handcuffed and arrested.</p><p><li><em>HAWKEYES CRAWL BACK:</em> Iowa cut the Gator lead to 10 on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Tate to Hinkel with 6:59 left in the contest.</p><p><li><em>SPECIAL TEAMS:</em> Two big special teams plays helped decide the game in the fourth quarter.

The Gators recovered the retry.</p>
