Reaves paced the Jaguars in the Idaho game last time out with career-high totals of 12 stops, two tackles for loss, three passes broken up, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery, setting the school career record with the seventh and eighth forced fumbles in his three-plus seasons with the program.  In addition to breaking up two passes in the red zone — including one in the end zone — the senior ended two Vandal drives inside the South five-yard line, first with a strip and recovery on the USA-2 early in the second quarter then later in the third when he collaborated on a stop behind the line on fourth-and-one from the USA-2; both protected South leads at the time.  Reaves was the seventh individual in program history to force two fumbles in a game — Randy Allen was the last to do so in a Sept. 24 win over Nicholls last fall — and in addition he was the first South player to finish with three or more passes broken up in a contest since Terrell Brigham had three in the 2014 season opener at Kent State.
