STOMPED AT THE SWAMP
Gainesville, Florida - And then there were none. Florida upset Florida State last night to knock off the last undefeated team in all of NCAA FBS football. Florida State was ranked number one in the coaches poll as well as the BCS rankings. Their loss will likely drop them out of the top five in both.
Florida’s Tyler Murphy was the star of the game for the Gators, passing for 184 yards and two touchdowns while running for an additional 80 yards in the win.
Jameis Winston struggled once again, completing just 10 of 29 passes for 166 yards. Winston threw two touchdown passes but also had a pair of passes intercepted. Florida held the Seminoles rushing attack to under 100 total yards.
The Gators must have watched Idaho’s near win over FSU as they used a similar run heavy offense, running the ball 57 times for 200 yards and having Murphy throw just 24 passes.
Florida State will face off against Virginia Tech for the ACC Championship.
Florida is now 8-4 overall and will await a bowl invite

REGGIE BECK SHOCKED THE NATION BY SIGNING WITH IDAHO
REGGIE BECK
6-0 197
ATH #18
Lompoc, CA
Lompoc High School
Scouting Report
Beck can play nearly any position on the football field. Was primarily a QB/RB as a junior and senior. Has speed, agility, acceleration. Can run through tacklers or make them miss. Decent arm and accuracy as a passer. Should be one of Idaho’s best players as soon as he steps on the field. Coach's Comments
“The first time I ever talked to Reggie I told him I wanted to be my Reggie Bush. That’s exactly the expectation we have for him here. We’re elated to have landed him.” Wade Wilkerson Jr.

EDDIE BATES

QB #12
Thousand Oaks, CA
Thousand Oaks High School
Scouting Report
Bates is a great running quarterback with a cannon arm. Needs to improve his accuracy. Can make a tackler miss or run through weaker ones. Rarely missed a play in high school. Coach's Comments
“We love Eddie’s game and we think he will really flourish in our system. We’re very excited by this signing. We see Eddie and Reggie (Beck) as the future of Idaho football. The beginning of greatness.” Wade Wilkerson Jr.
