Seminoles hurting at running back going into Florida game

By
TALLAHASSEE - Florida State will be without as many as three running backs for Saturday&#39;s annual grudge match against Florida, with freshman Leon Washington slated to start. <br> <br> Running back Willie Reid, who separated his shoulder against Georgia Tech on Nov. 9, said he would be available to play in an emergency. <br> <br> ``I&#39;m still real sore,&#39;&#39; Reid said. ``I could play if someone gets hurt, but right now my plans are not to play.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Starter Greg Jones was lost for the year when he tore a knee ligament against Wake Forest. His backup, Nick Maddox, has seen limited action since spraining his right ankle against Georgia Tech. <br> <br> Coach Bobby Bowden said Thursday he is very pleased to see his team stay focused despite the holiday weekend and Wednesday&#39;s arrest of former quarterback Adrian McPherson. <br> <br> ``They&#39;ve handled it like men,&#39;&#39; Bowden said. ``If you didn&#39;t know what happened you sure couldn&#39;t tell by our practices. The practices have been good, spirited. The kids have worked hard.&#39;&#39;
