RECAP

Cold weather stalled a couple of high-powered offenses in the 39th annual Gator Bowl as Florida defeated Iowa 14-6. The wind chill at game time was 13 degrees below zero. The Hawkeyes and Gators combined for six interceptions, 19 penalties and only seven of 31 third down conversions in the ragged contest. The play of the game took place with 1:08 left in the first half. Tom Nichol, attempting to punt out of his own end zone, misplayed a high snap and Florida's Doug Drew covered it for a touchdown. Nichol scored the Hawkeyes' only points on a pair of short field goals. Owen Gill led the Hawkeye offense with 83 yards rushing.
