At the UF vs. Arkansas game, the number of fan ejections set the season’s high mark so far.

On Saturday, 85 attendees were ejected — 44 of which were students. Additionally, four people were arrested, but none were students, according to a University Police release.

When UF played Tennessee on Sept. 21, 62 people were ejected, and only one attendee was arrested. Twenty-five people were ejected and three people were arrested during the season-opening game Aug. 31.

Out of the number of people ejected Saturday, 12 were for alcohol possession in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Those individuals were also issued civil citations by UPD.

Sixteen people were ejected for intoxication, one person was ousted for fighting, and another was ejected for marijuana possession, according to the release.

Seven people were forced out for ticket-switching, six people were ejected for being in the wrong section, and nine were put out for using false IDs.

Of the four arrests, three were for disorderly conduct, and one was for trespassing after a warning, according to the release.
