UW-Madison police made 20 arrests and issued 22 citations during Saturday's first home football game of the season.

The number of arrests and citations are similar to last year's first two home football Saturdays.

Of the 22 citations, 21 were issued to UW students. All but one of the arrests were also UW students.

Nineteen of the citations were for underage alcohol and three were for possessing a false ID.

Police reported 30 ejections from the game, including 24 UW students. There were 11 paramedic calls, two ambulance conveyances, 24 first aid calls, three people taken to detox and eight people who had a blood-alcohol level of .20 or higher.
