Nearly a month following the SEC Championship, the Gators returned to the field to take on Iowa in the 2017 Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
The game was tied 3-3 until Mark Thompson took a screen pass 85 yards for a touchdown just before halftime to give Florida a 10-3 lead at the break.
In the third quarter, a touchdown pass from Austin Appleby to DeAndre Goolsby extended the lead before the Gators dominated the fourth quarter.
Freshman Chauncey Gardner had two interceptions, returning one 58 yards for a touchdown, and was named the MVP in the blowout win.
