RECAP

Florida scored the game's first 17 points and held off a late Iowa surge to defeat the Hawkeyes 31-24 in the 2006 Outback Bowl at Tampa, FL. The Gators blocked and returned an Iowa punt for a score on Iowa's first possession to take a 7-0 advantage. Iowa scored its first points on a 20-yard touchdown pass from QB Drew Tate to WR Clinton Solomon. Iowa rallied to score 17 fourth-quarter points to make for an exciting finish. Iowa's comeback fell short as the Hawkeyes failed to recover an onside kick. On the previous play, Iowa recovered the onside kick, only to be flagged for an incorrect offside penalty.

COACH GAME QUOTES

Kirk Ferentz After that game, we probably would have signed on for any bowl that would have taken us. I probably would have signed in blood that evening. I'm glad that we didn't, but at that point there were all kinds of things racing through all of our minds.

Prior to the 2006 Outback Bowl, referencing the loss to Northwestern earlier in the season
