Batts was the North’s leading receiver with six catches for 40 yards, averaging 6.7 yards per reception. The senior tailback finished second on the team in rushing with 33 yards on seven carries. He averaged 4.7 yards per carry with a long of 24 yards.
The North team led for the majority of the game due to four field goals from Central Connecticut State’s Joe Izzo. However, the South team scored the game-winning touchdown with one minute left in the fourth quarter.
Batts was the only non-NCAA Division I-AA player on the North Team. Three NCAA Division II players were invited to play on the South Team. The remainder of both rosters was filled with NCAA Division I-AA players. The week of the FCS Senior Scout Bowl featured a series of practices in front of professional scouts, before the actual game kicked off December 11.
