University Police kept fans in check during the Gators’ 38-0 shutout against the University of Kentucky on Saturday.
UPD ejected 32 people from the UF-Kentucky game at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, nine of whom were UF students, according to a UPD news release.
No arrests were made but officers issued nine civil citations for alcohol possession.
Nine people were ejected for public intoxication, while five others were kicked out for smoking.
For the second game in a row, ejections and arrests were low compared to home games in previous years.
In last year’s second home game against the University of Alabama at Birmingham, police ejected 58 people, including one arrest for disorderly conduct and one for trespassing.
In 2010’s UF-Kentucky game, police ejected 63 people with 13 arrests, according to archived UPD gameday statistics. One of the people arrested was a UF student.
During that game, police charged 12 people with alcohol possession and another individual with battery. Police also kicked out 14 people for disorderly conduct.
UF has a bye week Saturday and is scheduled to play Louisiana State University on Oct. 6 at home.
