Team Notes 2010 C-USA CHAMPIONS • With its 17-7 win over West Division champion SMU Dec. 4, UCF claimed its second Conference USA title and a berth in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. • It was the third time the Knights advanced to the CUSA Championship Game since its creation in 2005, as they hosted the event each time. • Meanwhile, the Knights also have produced each of the three-largest crowds in the game’s history. Year Opponent Result Attendance 2005 Tulsa (Citrus Bowl) L, 27-44 51,978 2007 Tulsa (BHNS) W, 44-25 44,128 2009 SMU (BHNS) W, 17-7 41,045 • UCF is just the fifth team to have at least two C-USA crowns since the league’s formation in 1996, joining Southern Miss (three), Louisville (three), East Carolina (two) and Houston (two). UCF BOWL GAME HISTORY • This will be the Knights’ fourth bowl game as they are searching for their first win. Year Bowl Game Opponent Result 2005 Sheraton Hawaii Bowl Hawaii L, 48-49 (OT) 2007 AutoZone Liberty Bowl Miss. St. L, 3-10 2009 St. Petersburg Bowl Rutgers L, 24-45 FILLING THE TROPHY CASE • Head coach George O’Leary picked up his third CUSA Coach of the Year award this season, becoming just the second coach in league history to be voted as the Coach of the Year three times (Southern Miss’ Jeff Bower). Combined with his time at Georgia Tech, O’Leary has now won five league coach of the year honors. • Meanwhile, senior defensive end Bruce Miller was selected as the C-USA Defensive Player of the Year for the second-straight season. The only other C-USA defense player to accomplish that feat was Southern Miss’ Adalius Thomas from 1998-99. • And quarterback Jeff Godfrey earned C-USA Freshman of the Year accolades, the first Knight to receive the award since Kevin Smith in 2005. In all, it was the first time that UCF racked up three of the top C-USA individual honors in the same season. • For a complete run-down of the C-USA awards, check out page 10.

2010 C-USA Champions

AutoZone Liberty Bowl - Dec. 31, 2010

IN THE POLLS • UCF cracked the top-25 for the first time in school history this year when it was No. 23 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and No. 25 in the Associated Press Poll through week 11 (Nov. 7). • Prior to the C-USA Championship Game Dec. 4, UCF re-entered the Coaches Poll at No. 25 and stood at No. 31 in the AP Poll. • After taking down the Mustangs, the Black and Gold climbed to No. 24 in the Coaches Poll and No. 26 in the AP rankings. • UCF also made its first appearance in the BCS standings when they were released Dec. 5, entering at No. 25. • Including the preseason rankings, UCF has earned votes during eight weeks of the 2010 college football season, setting the school record. The 2007 squad received votes in the final five polls. • UCF in the polls in 2010: Week AP Poll USA Today Coaches 1 (Preseason) T-43rd (1 Point) --9 --T-36th (2 Points) 10 33rd (5) 29th (13) 11 25th (74) 23rd (99) 12 --37th (5) 13 33rd (4) 27th (21) 14 31st (12) 25th (62) 15 26th (63) 24th (143) CLOSING IN ON 11 VICTORIES • The 2010 Knights have tied for the most wins in school history, and if they are able to secure their first bowl victory, they will become the first UCF squad to post 11 wins. Season Final Record 1) 2010 10-3 1990 10-4 2007 10-4 • UCF’s current .750 winning percentage ranks second all-time. Season Record Winning Percentage 1) 1998 9-2 .818 2) 2010 10-3 .769 NOT A BAD RUN AT ALL FOR THE SENIORS • UCF’s 19 seniors have contributed to some of the


Team Notes most memorable seasons since the program’s inception in 1979. • While many of the seniors earned a redshirt in 2006, the 2007 campaign brought in true freshmen Kamar Aiken, Darin Baldwin, Justin Boddie, Blake Clingan, Derrick Hallman, Ricky Kay, Reggis Weams and Lawrence Young. And that began a journey that these Knights will certainly not forget. • That 2007 season resulted in a 10-4 record, UCF’s first C-USA title and a trip to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Two years later and the Knights were back in the postseason and the St. Petersburg Bowl, and as seniors in 2010 they captured their second C-USA crown and third bowl berth. • From 2007-10, the seniors have helped UCF post a 32-20 record. That ties for the most wins by a senior class since the 1990 group which also racked up 32 victories from 1987-90. MOST WINS IN FLORIDA • With 10 wins on the season, UCF has the most victories of any FBS school in the state of Florida. School Record 1) UCF 10-3 2) Florida State 9-4 3) Miami 7-5 Florida 7-5 South Florida 7-5 6) Florida International 6-6 7) Florida Atlantic 4-8 BOWLS TEAMS WITH A FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK • Of the 70 schools participating in a bowl game this season, only eight have been starting a freshman quarterback: UCF, Troy, Illinois, BYU, Boston College, Georgia, Maryland and Nebraska. Notre Dame and Penn State also have used freshmen signal-callers throughout the year but recently they have been coming off the bench. • UCF, BYU and Boston College are the only bowl teams in the country which are starting true freshmen quarterbacks. • Meanwhile, UCF true freshman Jeff Godfrey and Nebraska redshirt freshman Taylor Martinez are the only freshmen quarterbacks who have led their teams to 10 wins (both teams are 10-3). • And among that list of schools, the Knights are the only program to claim a victory in a conference title game with a freshman QB. POSTING 11-STRAIGHT C-USA WINS • UCF won 11-straight C-USA regular-season games from 2009-10 before falling to Southern Miss Nov. 13. That streak ranked as the third-longest streak in the conference record book.

UCF’S GEORGIA CONNECTIONS • UCF’s coaching and support staffs are full of people with connections to Georgia Tech. George O’Leary served as head coach at Georgia Tech from 1994-2001, compiling a 52-33 record. Four former Tech players are on O’Leary’s UCF staff. George Godsey serves as running backs coach, Brent Key serves as the offensive line coach, Marty O’Leary is UCF’s director of football operations and Sean Gregory is UCF’s offensive graduate assistant. Defensive coordinator Dave Huxtable was an assistant at Tech from 1992-97 and offensive coordinator Charlie Taaffe was a graduate assistant there in 1974. Bridging the gap between the schools is UCF assistant head coach David Kelly. Kelly was Tech’s wide receivers coach from 2000-01 and Georgia’s running backs coach from 1994-96. Kelly also served as head coach at Dunwoody High School from 1984-93, leading that school to the 1993 state championship and a No. 3 national ranking. UCF’s top two strength and conditioning staffers, Ed Ellis and Scott Sinclair, were both at Tech from 2001-03. O’Leary’s administrative assistant, Linda Watts, held the same role at Tech for over 30 years working for O’Leary, Pepper Rodgers, Bill Curry and others. GEORGIA KNIGHTS • UCF has 15 student-athletes from Georgia, including some of its top players. The 15 are Justin Boddie (Atlanta), A.J.

In Their Own Words... DERRICK HALLMAN - Senior linebacker On the defense holding SMU to just seven points in the C-USA Championship Game... ``This game wasn’t about their offense, this was about us (defensively). We wanted to set our trademark out there and to show how good we are. We wanted to send a statement and let the world know how good we are on defense.’’ JEFF GODFREY - Freshman quarterback On winning the C-USA title as a freshman... ``It feels really great to win it this year as a freshman and I hope to win it again in the next three years. We set this goal at the beginning of the year and I wanted to make it happen for the seniors and the team.’’ GEORGE O’LEARY - Head coach On the 2007 and 2010 C-USA title teams... “Both teams have good players, but this team’s senior class did a great job not just on the field, but off the field. The seniors did a great job controlling the young guys off the field and helped me get things done with the young kids.” BRUCE MILLER - Senior defensive end On capturing the C-USA title as a senior... “It feels great! Seeing how far we’ve come since January and following through with our goal. Leaving here as a champion, I mean I couldn’t ask for anything more out of these guys.”

Fr. QB Jeff Godfrey

On the AutoZone Liberty Bowl... “You can see from the season we’ve had, we’re going in it to win it. As far as a hurdle, we haven’t been able to do that yet, but hopefully it will turn out good for us this year.”

Offense Notes A LOT OF WORK FOR THE SCOREBOARD OPERATORS • With the help of eight non-offensive touchdowns, UCF has scored 439 points for an average of 33.8 a game, which ranks 24th in the nation. • The Knights are the only Florida school ranked in the top 35 in scoring offense. • UCF has registered at least 40 points in a game five times. The school record for 40-point games in a single-season is six set in 2007. • The Black and Gold is one of 21 teams in the country which have produced 40 points in at least five games this year and the only one in Florida. • The 33.8 scoring average currently stands as the seventh-best mark in UCF history. Season Points-Games Scoring Average 1) 1992 373-10 37.3 2) 1994 399-11 36.3 3) 2007 502-14 35.9 4) 1998 393-11 35.7 5) 1993 413-12 34.4 6) 1997 374-11 34.0 7) 2010 439-13 33.8 • With this year’s 14-game schedule, UCF is on pace to score 473 points, which would be second all-time trailing the 2007 season of 502 points. • UCF’s 61-14 win at Tulane was the seventh time in school history it totaled at least 60 points in a game. It also was the second time it happened on the road. OPENING DRIVES • UCF has driven into the opponents’ territory on its first drive of the game in 10 of 13 contests this year. • Seven of those drives resulted in a touchdown, one produced a field goal and the other two the Knights went for it on fourth down but came up short. • The Black and Gold has scored a touchdown on its first drive of the game in six of its last eight outings. • Overall, UCF has scored first in 12 of its 13 games this year with NC State being the lone exception. GO THE DISTANCE • The offense has racked up 21 drives of at least 70 yards this year, and 20 of them have resulted in a touchdown (the other was a field goal). The only game it did not have at least a 70-yard drive was at KSU. • Once UCF starts putting together long drives, it has finished them off with touchdowns. In the last four years, it has piled up 73 drives of at least 70 yards, and 69 of those drives reached the end zone. The four that did not get six points were an interception, turnover on downs, end of the first half and a field goal. • UCF’s longest drives of 2010 - by yards: Opponent Plays-Yards Time Result Southern Miss 9-99 4:57 TD Rice 9-98 4:59 TD at Buffalo 15-90 7:07 TD SMU 8-85 4:53 TD South Dakota 9-84 5:01 TD • UCF’s longest drives of 2010 - by time: Opponent Plays-Yards Time Result Rice 17-77 9:06 TD at Memphis 13-55 7:32 FG SMU 13-73 7:28 TD at Buffalo 15-90 7:07 TD East Carolina 15-81 7:02 TD • UCF’s longest drives of 2010 - by plays: Opponent Plays-Yards Time Result Rice 17-77 9:06 TD 15-90 7:07 TD at Buffalo East Carolina 15-81 7:02 TD at Houston 14-80 3:10 FG

MOVING UP THE RANKINGS • Through four games and week five of the college football season, UCF ranked 77th in total offense and 84th in scoring offense out of 120 FBS programs. • But with true freshman quarterback Jeff Godfrey maturing each week, the Knights’ ranking has certainly improved. After Week Total Offense Scoring Offense 5 77th in FBS 84th in FBS 6 70th 63rd 7 70th 54th 8 67th 44th 9 61st 30th 10 57th 27th 11 59th 32nd 12 52nd 21st 13 53rd 19th 14 58th 24th QUITE A COMBINATION • While Jeff Godfrey sits in eighth in the country with a 165.28 passer efficiency rating, the rushing game has been complementing him perfectly. • The Knights are 25th in the FBS by averaging 192.46 rushing yards a game, and have 2,502 yards overall. That ranks as the third-most by a UCF squad: Year Attempts Rushing Yards 1) 2007 670 3,287 2) 1990 646 3,017 3) 2010 572 2,502 • UCF is 12th as a team in passing efficiency, as it joins Auburn, Boise State, Wisconsin, TCU, Stanford, Ohio State, Air Force and Nevada as the only schools in the nation to be ranked in the top 15 in efficiency and top 25 in rushing offense.

So. RB Latavius Murray FOUR KNIGHTS WITH 100-YARD RUSHING GAMES • Ronnie Weaver (four), Jonathan Davis, Jeff Godfrey and Latavius Murray have each recorded 100-yard rushing games. • That marks the first time in UCF history that at least three different players rushed for at least 100 yards in a game in the same season. • UCF’s 100-yard rushing games in 2010:

GETTING SIX ON THE GROUND • The Knights have rushed for 35 touchdowns in 13 games this year (by comparison the defense has allowed just nine). That is the third-most all-time. Season Games Rushing TDs 1) 2007 14 41 2) 1990 14 36 3) 2010 13 35 • With Ronnie Weaver’s 11 rushing touchdowns, Jeff Godfrey’s 10 and Latavius Murray’s 10, this year marks the first time in school history that the Knights had three different players rush for at least five touchdowns in the same season. • UCF and Wisconsin are the only teams in the nation with three players with at least 10 rushing TDs. BIG PLAYS • UCF has a touchdown pass of at least 40 yards in six of its last seven games. • The Knights amassed four offensive touchdowns of 20 yards or more at Tulane. Entering the contest with the Green Wave, they had four touchdowns of at least 20 yards in the first 10 games combined.

It marks the thirdstraight year that eight Knights have posted one or more receiving TDs. • The last time UCF had more than eight studentathletes with at least one touchdown catch was 2002 (10). O’LEARY’S TRUE FRESHMEN QUARTERBACKS • This season is not the first time UCF head coach George O’Leary has put a true freshman quarterback in the starting role during his career. One of those players was Joe Hamilton at Georgia Tech in 1996, and he would go on to be the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy as a senior in 1999. • O’Leary’s true freshmen starting quarterbacks: Player, School Year C-A-I-YDS-TD Joe Hamilton, G.T. 1996 108-188-13-1,342-7 Rob Calabrese, UCF 2008 65-165-5-664-7 Jeff Godfrey, UCF 2010 143-209-6-2,042-13

THAT’S NOT A BAD START AT ALL • The 31 first-quarter points by UCF at Tulane were a school record for the opening 15 minutes of a game. The previous high was 28 against Millersville University on Nov. 16, 1991. • It tied the school record for the most points scored in any quarter, matching the 31 that UCF scored in the second quarter against Fort Lewis on Nov. 19, 1983.

Defense Notes THE IMPORTANCE OF DEFENSE • In the offensive-minded C-USA, UCF has proven that defense can steal the show as well. • A total of 11 of the 12 teams in C-USA average over 20 points per game on offense (including six which average at least 28). However the UCF defense has allowed only 18.0 points per contest, which is over seven points more than second-place UTEP. C-USA Team Scoring Defense 1 UCF 18.0 2) UTEP 25.4 3) SMU 26.4 4) Marshall 28.8 5) Southern Miss 29.4 • In all, the Knights rank in the top three in C-USA in 10 different defensive categories: Category UCF’s Rank in C-USA Scoring Defense 1st (18.0) Rushing Defense 1st (110.4) Total Defense 1st (318.1) Passing Efficiency Defense 1st (115.1) Opponents First Downs 1st (17.2) Sacks By T-1st (29) Pass Defense 2nd (207.7) Interceptions 3rd (15) Opponent Fourth Downs 3rd (47.4 percent) Turnover Margin 3rd (+4) BRUUUUCE! • Not only setting the UCF sack record this year, but senior defensive end Bruce Miller also has climbed to fifth on the NCAA FBS record book with 34.0-career sacks (NCAA record started being kept in 2000). • C-USA coaches, which were forced to use doubleteams routinely on Miller, realized how much of an impact Miller had on the game that they voted him as the C-USA Defensive Player of the Year for the second-straight season. • Miller also ranks tied for fourth in career sacks among teams in the Sunshine State (see chart in the next column). QUICK LEARNER • Kemal Ishmael picked up the college game right away as he started nine games at free safety as a true freshman last year, finishing with 70 tackles and one interception. • And as a sophomore in 2010, Ishmael currently leads the Knights with 82 tackles and also has two interceptions. • As a constant distraction for opposing quarterbacks, Ishmael’s efforts allowed him to be named to the All-C-USA First Team, becoming the first UCF freshman or sophomore defensive back to receive a spot on the First Team since freshman Joe Burnett in 2005. SHOWING UP ON THE BIG STAGE • UCF’s defense allowed just seven points vs. SMU to earn the C-USA title, as they were the fewest points given up in C-USA Championship Game history. • The seven points also were the lowest amount scored by a team in any conference championship game since 2006 when Nebraska lost 21-7 to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship and Georgia Tech fell to Wake Forest, 9-6, in the ACC Championship. TAKING THEM TO THE HOUSE • With five this year, UCF has set a C-USA and school record for most interception returns for a touchdown in a single season. The NCAA FBS record is seven by Tennessee in 1971.

AutoZone Liberty Bowl - Dec. 31, 2010

So. DB Kemal Ishmael • Senior defensive end Bruce Miller also has set the UCF individual mark with two returns for six points this season. • Meanwhile true freshman Jordan Ozerities grabbed a school record of his own with his 100-yard interception return at Tulane, eclipsing Rick Hamilton’s 97yard return vs. Western Illinois in 1992. • The 100-yard pick-six was the fifth time it happened in C-USA history. AN EARLY PRESENCE • The defense has allowed just 27 first-quarter points this year, as the Knights are outscoring opponents 131-27 in the opening frame. • Since joining the FBS in 1996, the UCF record for least amount of points given up in any quarter is 40 (first quarter) by the 2001 defense (the all-time record is seven in the fourth quarter by the 1979 defense when the Knights played just eight games). • Through 13 games, the defense has shutout an opponent in 22 of 52 quarters of football. HIS OWN NEIGHBORHOOD • One of the main reasons UCF was able to shut down SMU in the C-USA Championship Game was sophomore cornerback Josh Robinson, who knocked down SOME GOOD COMPANY • With 34.0-career sacks, Bruce Miller has eclipsed UCF’s previous record of 31.5 by Darrell Rudd. • Miller also has 55.5 tackles for loss in his career, which rank third at UCF. • First in the nation among all active players in sacks and fourth in tackles for loss, Miller’s sacks are tied for the fourth-most ever by a FBS player in the talent-heavy state of Florida. State of Florida FBS Sack Records Player Sacks Years School 1) Daniel Stubbs 39.5 1984-87 Miami 2) Reinard Wilson 35.5 1993-96 FSU 3) Greg Mark 34.5 1986-89 Miami 4) Bruce Miller 34 2007-10 UCF Peter Boulware 34 1994-96 FSU 6) Alex Brown 33 1998-01 Florida 7) Elton Patterson 30.5 1999-02 UCF 8) Kenny Holmes 30 1993-96 Miami 9) George Selvie 29 2006-09 USF 10) Alonzo Johnson 27 1981-85 Florida • Miller also is fifth in the NCAA FBS career record book in sacks, which started to be kept in 2000 (chart on the left).


Defense Notes two passes in highlight-reel fashion at key moments of the game. • Robinson has broken up 12 passes this year which are tied for the sixth-most in UCF history. Along with two interceptions in 2010, he has 14 passes defended to put him in second in C-USA this year. • The 2010 All-C-USA First Team member and 2009 Freshman All-American also ranks in a tie for sixth alltime at UCF with eight-career interceptions, and he still has two years of eligibility remaining (UCF record is 16 by Joe Burnett from 2005-08). STANDING FIRM • UCF’s defense has kept all but one opponent from reaching its scoring average this season. Opponent PPG Before UCF Points vs. UCF South Dakota 32.50* 7 NC State 48.00 28 at Buffalo 18.50 10 at Kansas State 35.33 17 UAB 25.25 7 at Marshall 19.20 14 Rice 23.43 14 East Carolina 36.83 35 at Houston 41.63 33 Southern Miss 34.56 31 at Tulane 26.20 14 at Memphis 14.18 17 SMU 28.25 7 * - Average from 2009 BELONGING IN THE TOP 30 • UCF has ranked in the top-30 in at least four of the top five national defensive categories for the majority of the season. • The Black and Gold joins some elite company this year in terms of total, scoring, passing efficiency and rushing defense. It is one of 13 schools which rank in the top-30 in the nation in all four categories: UCF, TCU, Ohio State, Oregon, Stanford, West Virginia, Boston College, Boise State, Iowa, Pittsburgh, Alabama, Northern Illinois and Clemson. FINISHING STRONG IN BLACK AND GOLD • Senior strong safety Reggie Weams had his best season as a Knight in 2009, collecting 24 tackles with one interception. • However in 2010, Weams has 35 tackles with four

interceptions. Those picks rank tied for eighth in UCF single-season history, and are also tied for third in CUSA this year. THE RUN STOPS HERE • The Knights have allowed just nine rushing touchdowns this year, tying for ninth in the nation. • This continues a trend from 2009 when UCF allowed just 12 rushing scores in 13 games. • If UCF can hold Georgia without a rushing touchdown in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, the Knights’ defense will tie a school record for fewest rushing touchdowns allowed in a season, all while playing four more games than the 1981 and 1989 teams. Year Games Rushing TDs Allowed 1) 2010 13 9 1989 10 9 1981 10 9 3) 1980 9 11 1979 8 11 HALL MONITOR • Linebacker Derrick Hallman forced a combined three fumbles his first three seasons as a Knight, and this year he has already topped that by forcing four fumbles in 2010, tying for the fifth-most in the nation. • Hallman’s four forced fumbles are one shy of tying the single-season high which has been set three times. • And with seven for his career, Hallman ranks in a tie for fourth on the UCF all-time list (record is 10 by Nakia Reddick from 1993-96). • Hallman also boasts 274 career tackles including 81 this year. With five more tackles, he will tie Cory Hogue (2006-09) for 10th on the UCF career chart. WHERE DID HE COME FROM? • Junior linebacker Josh Linam totaled 21 tackles in his previous two seasons combined for the Knights. • But with the help of the Houston press box, Linam amassed 17 tackles (five solo, 12 assists) against the Cougars to earn C-USA Defensive Player of the Week honors. That was the most tackles in a game since 17 by Atari Bigby at Virginia Tech Aug. 31, 2003. • The middle linebacker now ranks third at UCF this year with 72 tackles, including sitting in fifth with 7.5 tackles for a loss.

UCF in the NFL A total of 12 former Knights appeared on opening day NFL rosters, which were the most among all 12 Conference USA schools. That amount included the New York Giants’ Michael Greco who was on injured reserve. PLAYER .........................POS .................... TEAM Atari Bigby ......................

Special Teams Notes AMERICA’S BEST SPECIAL TEAMS • Combining the per return averages of four phases of kickoff returns, net kickoff coverage, punt returns and net punting, UCF ranks first in the nation for most yards of field position gained on special teams. School Yards School Yards 1) UCF 124.3 6) Florida 121.42 2) TCU 124.0 7) Nebraska 121.35 3) Oregon 123.8 8) Southern Cal 112.0 4) LSU 122.0 9) Virginia Tech 119.7 5) Utah 121.9 10) Alabama 119.5 • Check out the chart to the left for a detailed look at the Knights’ national rankings.

• The Knights along with Clemson, Houston, Kansas State, FIU, Louisiana Tech and East Carolina are the only schools to have returned a kickoff for a touchdown in each of the past four years. PUNT RETURN GAME DOMINANT AS WELL • After guiding the defense to a stop, sophomore cornerback Josh Robinson is carrying that momentum into special teams where he ranks fifth in the country with a 17.29 yards per punt return average. • Robinson’s 294 punt return yards are fifth on the UCF single-season chart. The defensive back did not have a return as a freshman in 2009. • As a team, UCF is averaging 14.2 yards per return, which is good for 10th in the country. THE UNHERALDED BOOT • Reliable Blake Clingan enters his final game in a Black and Gold uniform owning numerous punting records at UCF. • The senior is the career-leader with 245 punts and 9,767 yards (Charlie Pierce is second in both categories at 173 and 7,111, respectively). • Clingan also stands at No. 6 with a 39.9 yards per punt average, and this year alone he is sixth in singleseason history with a 41.8 average.

So. WR/KR Quincy McDuffie AT THE TOP • When opponents do manage to score on the UCF defense, their celebration ends quickly as they know what awaits them on special teams. • Along with having the best overall special teams unit in terms of yards gained on special teams, UCF is the nation’s leader in kickoff returns at 28.3 yards per return. • Sophomore Quincy McDuffie has returned 26 of the Knights’ 43 kickoffs for 849 yards and a 32.7 average to rank second in the country.

IT ALL STARTS WITH THE LONG SNAPPER • There are several reasons why Blake Clingan stands as UCF’s all-time leading punter, and one of them is long snapper Charley Hughlett. • The junior was named the All-C-USA Second Team long snapper by the league’s coaches this year. As a sophomore in 2009, Hughlett earned All-C-USA Honorable Mention accolades, while he also earned a spot on the C-USA All-Freshman Team in 2008. THEY CERTAINLY ADD UP • Junior placekicker Nick Cattoi has amassed 46 extrapoints this year, which are the third-most in a single season. He needs one more to tie Charlie Pierce (1994) for second, while Michael Torres holds the record with 50 set in 2007.

BREAKING SOME UCF RECORDS • The punt return team has faced a total of 71 punts this year, marking the most punts UCF has forced in a single-season in school history. • Conversely, when the Knights punt the ball, they have allowed only nine of 41 punts be returned. The school record for fewest punts returned by an opponent is 11 set in 1998. HEY OFFENSE, STAY ON THE BENCH WE GOT THIS! • With two, UCF is one of 13 FBS teams this year to record at least two kickoff returns for a touchdown. • Both have come from Quincy McDuffie, who is one of only nine players in the nation to run back two or more kickoffs for six points. • McDuffie is tied for second at UCF and is in third on the C-USA single-season chart for kickoff returns for touchdowns. • Including one as a freshman, McDuffie has three for his career which are one shy of the UCF record. He also is tied for second on the C-USA all-time list, trailing Houston’s Tyron Carrier who currently has six. McDuffie’s Kickoff Ret.

UCF’s Record When...

Jr. LB Josh Linam UCF AND THE APR • When the Knights entered the AP Poll for the first time Nov. 7, they were one of only six schools in the nation to be in the top-25 rankings as well as in the top 25 of the APR (the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate): UCF, Boise State, Florida, Ohio State, TCU and Wisconsin. • The Knights rank 16th nationally with a 972 APR. That score ranked seventh nationally amongst non-military public universities and second overall amongst Florida’s 10 Division I schools, trailing only Miami’s 978. Of the 12 Conference USA schools, UCF trails only Rice’s 987. • The 972 also ranks as the 12th-best amongst the 70 schools heading to bowl games this year. UCF has the highest APR of any of the five public Florida universities competing in bowl games and also the highest of C-USA’s six bowl game participants. AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL • In its annual compilation of academic rankings, The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES), a nationally-renowned arm of UCF’s DeVos Sports Business Management Program led by Richard Lapchick, found that the AutoZone Liberty Bowl will be one of just three bowl games in which both schools have an APR of at least 970. • UCF’s opponent in Memphis, Georgia, boasts a 973 APR. The other games matching teams with a score of at least 970 are the Hyundai Sun Bowl between Miami (978) and Notre Dame (978) and the Outback Bowl between Penn State (974) and Florida (971). • UCF found itself in a similar elite academic group last fall when its St. Petersburg Bowl game against Rutgers was one of three nationally to feature two teams with at least a 960 APR while the game’s 970 APR average was the best in the nation. SUMMER EXCELLENCE • For the fourth-consecutive year, the UCF football team entered the season with a team cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.9. When the 2010 summer session grades came in the Knights boasted a combined 2.936 GPA. UCF had 11 football studentathletes earn a perfect 4.0 GPA during the 2010 summer and 69 Knights earn at least a 3.0 GPA.

• A total of 69 UCF student-athletes are wearing a “Scholar-Baller” sticker on the backs of their helmets this year emblematic of having earned a 3.0 semester GPA or better during 2009-10. • All 19 UCF seniors are on pace to graduate. • Eight Knights (Chance Henderson, Cliff McCray, Bruce Miller, Jamar Newsome, Jah Reid, Wes Tunuufi Sauvao, Brian Watters and David Williams) had already received their bachelor’s degrees prior to the season and are working on either a second bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree. MOST FBS ACTIVE PLAYERS WITH A BACHELOR’S DEGREE • Boston College (14), Auburn (11), Tennessee (9), UCF (8), Kansas State (8), Virginia Tech (8). LEADING THE WAY • Starting middle linebacker Josh Linam has represented UCF on a pair of prestigious academic teams this season. • The junior was voted onto the ESPN/CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team as well as the C-USA All-Academic Team for having a GPA of 3.468 while majoring in sports and fitness. • UCF has now had at least one player be selected to the academic all-district team in each of the last four seasons. 2010 NCAA FOOTBALL APR • The Knights are seventh in APR among FBS public, non-military football teams.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Rob Calabrese looked like the calm, confident quarterback that UCF has been hoping for for years in Saturday’s season-opener at Bright House Networks Stadium. Calabrese played with a swagger as he completed his first nine passes of the game and threw for 176 yards and a touchdown in the Knights’ 38-7 victory before a crowd of 34,373 fans. UCF was both dominant and efficient offensively, totaling 472 yards and 27 first downs. The Knights drove into South Dakota territory on all of their eight drives and didn’t punt for the first time until late in the third period. The 38 points were UCF’s most in a season opener since 1998 when it beat Louisiana Tech 64-30. It was almost a year to the date when Calabrese opened last season as the starting quarterback, but was lifted after a shaky performance. There was never a threat of that happening on Saturday night what with the way he was carving up South Dakota’s defense with his poise in the pocket. Calabrese definitively strengthened his hold on the starting quarterback job by leading scoring drives of 75, 84, 45 and 80 yards in the first half, allowing UCF to jump to a 24-7 lead. Calabrese battled freshman phenom Jeff Godfrey in the spring and fall for the starting job, but left Saturday’s game as UCF’s unquestioned leader of the offense. And the junior quarterback had plenty of help as sophomore tailback Jonathan Davis ran for a career-best 107 yards and a touchdown and wide out A.J. Guyton also had a career night with 127 receiving yards and an 11-yard scoring pass. Godfrey, the record-setting true freshman from Miami, played well in his three series in relief. He had an 11-yard completion to Guyton on his first collegiate pass. And in the fourth quarter, he found tight end Adam Nissley for a 21-yard gainer and hit Quincy McDuffie for a six-yard score for his first-ever college touchdown pass. South Dakota got within 14-7 early in the second quarter when tailback Chris Ganious got outside for a one-yard scoring run. UCF made the adjustments in the second half to keep contain on the perimeter and limited the Coyotes (0-1) to just 79 yards of offense in the second half. Calabrese played mistake-free football in the first half, hitting on all nine of his passes - none of them bigger than his 11-yard throw to Guyton for a score on third-and-four. Calabrese also converted a key third-and-seven play with another 18-yard pass on a deep in to Guyton on the second drive of the game. And Calabrese’s confidence was never higher than early in the third period when Calabrese broke the pocket on a scrambled and flattened South Dakota cornerback Aaron Swift. Calabrese jumped to his feet and pumped his fist as he was congratulated by his teammates. All in all, Calabrese said the night couldn’t have gone much better for him. He professed to being calm in the hotel in the hours leading up to the game, studying his playbook and even watching a few other games.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Of all of UCF’s concerns heading into Saturday night’s nonconference showdown against NC State, beating themselves with self-inflicted errors was seemingly the least of the worries for an experienced Knights team. But ultimately UCF’s miscues and penalties led to a poor start and a devastating fifth turnover of the night at the 11-yard line ruined what had the potential to be a storybook comeback led by freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey. Godfrey nearly led UCF back from a 21-point deficit with two dazzling rushing touchdowns and seemed poised to take the Knights in for a tying score before a fifth turnover silenced a noisy Bright House Networks Stadium crowd of 43,020. And by the end of the night, a 28-21 loss to NC State left the Knights kicking themselves for their own errors and forced to mull a blown opportunity. Even in defeat, UCF (1-1) had to be encouraged with the dynamic playmaking abilities of Godfrey, who entered the game in the third quarter in place of struggling starter Rob Calabrese. The Miami product finished as UCF’s leading rusher with 53 yards and two scores and he connected on seven of his 10 passes for another 107 yards.

UCF’s thrilling comeback effort died with 51 seconds to play when Godfrey scrambled to his left and hit Quincy McDuffie for a 20-yard gainer, but the ball was jarred loose and recovered by NC State’s Terrell Manning.

Calabrese, who was solid in the season-opening victory against South Dakota, threw two interceptions - both of them leading to NC State touchdowns. Wide receiver Nico Flores was intercepted on a reverse pass, while tailback Latavius Murray had a Wolfpack punt bounce off his left shin for another turnover. And UCF made matters worse with five penalties, another lost fumble and three sacks allowed.

Godfrey made a strong case for becoming UCF’s starting quarterback by scrambling for touchdown runs of 6 yards and 1 yard. He routinely made potentially disastrous plays positive ones with his quick feet and quick thinking. An NC State defense that kept UCF bottled up most of the night had little success even getting to Godfrey for contact during the Knights’ furious rally. UCF’s defense played much better in the second half than it did in the first half, setting the stage for the comeback bid. UCF’s defense allowed just five first downs and only 65 yards after halftime and routinely got the ball back into Godfrey’s hands with big stops. UCF trailed 21-7 at the half following a frustrating first two quarters to the game. NC State’s first touchdown came following a tippedpass interception, the second one on a blown pass coverage and a third one after a punt ricocheted off the left shin of Murray. NC State scored three plays after the punt snafu, converting a thirdand-11 play from 21 yards out. The Knights signs of life when Quincy McDuffie returned a kickoff 93 yards for a score that cut the deficit to 21-7. McDuffie, a former 200-meter state track champion followed the block of Khymest Williams and ran away from NC State’s Dontae Johnson.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - It was the kind of poised and pulsating drive that will go down in UCF lore as the birth of quarterback Jeff Godfrey’s legacy as a Knight. Sure, Godfrey opened eyes and made hearts race a week ago at Bright House Networks Stadium by directing a near comeback against NC State. But what Godfrey did on Saturday night in Buffalo - calmly and coolly directing a game-winning, fourth-quarter 90-yard drive - is the sort of stuff where legends are born. Godfrey, UCF’s freshman phenom quarterback from Miami, converted two third downs and a fourth down on a 15-play, 90-yard drive and reserve tailback Ronnie Weaver scored from 14 yards out as the Knights defeated Buffalo 24-10. Making the first start of his collegiate career, Godfrey looked like the dazzling, dynamic playmaker UCF has longed for at quarterback for years. He played mistake-free football by completing 15-of-24 passes for 130 yards and he avoided pressure by scrambling for another 44 yards. Godfrey’s steady play combined with another stingy defensive effort from UCF’s nationally-ranked defense helped the Knights improve to 2-1 on the season. UCF got a key defensive stop in the fourth quarter when senior defensive end David Williams stuffed the run on a fourth-and-one play to end a Buffalo (1-2) drive. A crowd of 14,312 at University at Buffalo Stadium saw UCF get a Bruce Miller interception return for a touchdown and two touchdown runs by Weaver. Weaver, UCF’s third back used on the night, scored from two yards out with 3:55 to play to seal the victory. UCF’s defense, which entered the game having allowed just 459 total yards and just 209 pass yards in the first two games, played well again, stuffing the Bulls repeatedly. Buffalo’s lone touchdown was aided by a questionable pass interference call in the third quarter. On the drive that proved to be the difference in the game, Godfrey had a dazzling 17-yard scramble to the right for a first down. Later, he converted a quarterback sneak on a fourth and inches. Then, facing a third-and-nine from the 27, Godfrey bought time with his feet and hit Brian Watters across the middle for a 13-yard pickup. From there, Weaver barreled up the middle for a 14-yard score that gave UCF a 17-10 lead it would not relinquish. Godfrey calmly drove the Knights down the field on their first offensive possession, accounting for 49 of the 54 yards on a drive that ended in a Nick Cattoi 39-yard field goal. O’Leary made creating turnovers a point of emphasis after UCF failed to get a fumble or interception in the first two games. And Miller, UCF’s All-American candidate, responded to that request in the second quarter, stepping in front of a shuffle pass and returning it 30 yards for a touchdown that put UCF up 10-3. Defensive end Darius Nall forced the poor pass, hitting Buffalo quarterback Jerry Davis with a big hit.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - As dozens of U.S. Army cannons popped and smoke filled the air, UCF’s players trudged off the field Saturday afternoon with the dejected feeling that they let a sure victory get away. When quarterback Carson Coffman scored from seven yards out with 24 seconds to play, UCF lost 17-13 to Kansas State in a game that it dominated most of the afternoon at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. UCF (2-2) missed two field goals and had to settle for three points on two other deep drives, allowing Kansas State (4-0) to stay within striking distance. UCF outgained K-State, 344-272, and had nine more first downs. Also, UCF limited K-State star Daniel Thomas, who entered the game as the nation’s second-leading rusher, to just 76 yards. UCF freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey struggled before the crowd of 50,586, completing just eight of 18 passes and was intercepted twice. He was picked off on the Knights’ final offensive play. Godfrey did have 99 yards on 17 carries, running mostly when the Knights spread out the defense with five wideout sets. UCF seemed poised to pull off the upset when Nick Cattoi booted a 27-yard field goal with 3:59 to play that put the Knights up 13-10. But K-State ruined UCF’s dreams by driving 67 yards in 13 plays with Coffman’s scoring run coming on a busted shuffle pass that was designed for Thomas. UCF missed two great scoring opportunities late in the second quarter and midway through the third period when it drove into Kansas State territory, but couldn’t convert field goals. Nick Cattoi missed a 42-yarder in the second quarter and then badly pulled a 23-yarder after UCF had driven to the 6-yard line. Kansas State’s first eight drives produced just 67 yards, but the Wildcats got a 73-yard pass play to Tremaine Thompson. Cornerback Josh Robinson fought through a block on the play and made a touchdown-saving tackle - a play that became magnified when Kansas State couldn’t move the ball and had to settle for a field goal that made it 7-3. Cattoi redeemed himself early in the fourth quarter when he drilled a 31-yarder to put UCF up 10-3. But having to settle for the field goal was deflating considering that UCF had once again driven to the 6-yard line, but went backwards when Godfrey was sacked for a 10-yard loss on a third-and-three play. Kansas State pounced on the opportunity provided by UCF, scoring in two plays to tie the game at 10-10. Aubrey Quarles got behind UCF safety Kemal Ishmael for a 58-yard catch-and-run score. Ishmael made up for the error minutes later by stripping the ball out of Thomas’ arms for his first-ever fumble recovery. As he was falling down, Ishmael ripped the ball from Thomas’ arms and corralled it himself. It was Thomas’ first fumble in two seasons at K-State. UCF dominated both sides of the ball in the first half and led 7-0 at the break. Each team had three offensive plays before the game was delayed for 1 hour, 26 minutes because of a nasty thunderstorm . UCF demolished Kansas State in the first quarter, outgaining the Wildcats, 100-3. Ronnie Weaver carried the ball on 10 of UCF’s first 16 plays, gaining 60 yards and finished with 130 yards on the ground. He capped a six-play, 50-yard drive - all on running plays - with an 8-yard score around the left end to put UCF up 7-0.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Following a heartbreaking defeat to Kansas State that UCF senior linebacker Derrick Hallman referred to as ``the toughest loss that you’ll ever have as a football player,’’ some wondered if the Knights could respond Wednesday night and begin salvaging their season. Playing before a Bright House Networks Stadium crowd of 40,281, a school-record 25,000 students and a nationally-televised audience provided by ESPN, UCF gave a resounding answer to those questions and showed itself to be potentially Conference USA’s best team. The Knights stormed out to a 28-0 lead on the strength of big plays from freshman quarterback Jeff Godfrey and sophomore safety Kemal Ishmael and did just enough in the second half for a resounding 42-7 whipping of UAB. The blowout victory was also sweet revenge for a UCF team that was shutout 15-0 by UAB two seasons ago at Bright House Networks Stadium. The Knights were reminded of that loss all this past week with ``15-0’’ signs plastered all over their locker room, weight room and meeting spaces. Rotating Godfrey and junior Rob Calabrese effectively at quarterback, UCF’s offense grinded out 399 yards and 23 first downs in its finest all-around performance of the season. And the defense, which entered the game as Conference USA’s best unit in total defense and pass defense, made it stand up by getting two big turnovers from Ishmael, a fumble return for a score by Josh Robinson and another touchdown from freshman defensive tackle Troy Davis. UCF (3-2 overall and 1-0 in C-USA play) showed no lingering effects from the crushing 17-13 loss to Kansas State 10 days ago, putting together its best effort of the season on both sides of the ball. The Knights held a player’s only meeting in the days after the faltering against K-State, stressing to one another that there was still plenty to play for this season - namely a C-USA championship. Following UAB’s lone score of the night, UCF responded with a 72-yard scoring drive that was capped by a nine-yard touchdown run by Latavius Murray, his first score since the 2008 season. Then, Davis - one of UCF’s most pleasant surprises this season at defensive tackle - returned an interception 29 yards for the first touchdown of his collegiate career. Godfrey, UCF’s freshman phenom quarterback, ran for 80 yards and completed nine of 11 passes for another 137 yards. And Calabrese, who hadn’t seen significant playing time since the second game of the season, played throughout, running for 40 yards and throwing the touchdown pass to Watters just before halftime. Already up 21-0 at the half, UCF effectively ended the game early in the third period when UCF standout safety Kemal Ishmael forced a second big defensive play of the night. Ishmael’s hard hit forced UAB quarterback David Isabelle to fumble and the loose ball was returned 56 yards for a touchdown by cornerback Josh Robinson. Earlier in the night, Ishmael picked off a Bryan Ellis pass to set up UCF’s first touchdown of the game.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Almost to a man, UCF’s players said that there’s ``black magic’’ in those black and gold Knights’ jerseys and boldly predicted that Marshall University made a poor decision opting for a ``white out’’ promotion on Wednesday night. As it turns out, Marshall’s white out was a wash out as UCF (4-2) once again flexed its considerable muscles against its biggest rival in Conference USA. Freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey ran for two touchdowns, Ronnie Weaver pounded out a career-best 150 yards and UCF’s nationally ranked defense produced its fourth touchdown in the past four weeks as the Knights whipped Marshall 35-14 in rainy conditions. Weaver, the former walk-on from Wabasso, pounded Marshall (1-5) all night with his hard running between the tackles. On Wednesday, he had six carries of at least nine yards, often shaking off tacklers along the way. His 30 carries were also a career high. UCF used a 70-yard kickoff return from senior Jamar Newsome to start the second half and pulled away over the final two quarters. It also got a big defensive score when sophomore safety A.J. Bouye returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown that put UCF up 28-7. Godfrey ran for a nine-yard touchdown in the first half and added a five-yard scramble score in the third quarter that put UCF comfortably ahead 21-7. For the game, he ran for 27 yards and the two scores and completed 11-of-21 passes for 138 more yards. UCF smashed Marshall for 362 total yards and 22 first downs, moving the ball almost at will throughout the game. The only negative of the night for the Knights was a possible season-ending knee injury to reserve quarterback Rob Calabrese, who was hurt in the end zone after scoring UCF’s first touchdown of the night. And for a second time in three weeks, UCF had a game delayed by severe weather. Rain started falling just prior to kickoff, intensified as the game continued and was stopped with 6:06 left in the first half. Teams were in the locker room for an hour and then given 10 minutes to warm up once again. Because of the delay, halftime was shortened to three minutes - the same break that there is between quarters. UCF led just 14-7 at the half despite outgaining Marshall 214-149 in the first two quarters. The Knights got a good push from the offensive line, especially on the right side with guard Nick Pieschel, tackle Jah Reid and tight end Adam Nissley, and rushed for 120 first-half yards. UCF mixed the run with the pass beautifully on the game’s first possession, driving 79 yards in 12 plays for a score that put UCF up 7-0. The Knights converted five first downs on their opening possession, three times coming through on third down. And Calabrese finished off the drive by faking a handoff and darting up the middle from two yards out.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Jeff Godfrey was six years old growing up in Miami when Daunte Culpepper was a senior at UCF and leading the Knights to their finest season in school history. And before Saturday, the only extent of their relationship was Godfrey seeing all the pictures of Culpepper and hearing the stories about his legendary status. UCF’s past and current star quarterbacks finally met Saturday afternoon, and Culpepper did most of the talking, telling the freshman phenom quarterback that he has the kind of talent and temerity to take the Knights to heights never before seen around here. Then, Godfrey went out and played like UCF’s greatest legend, slicing up the Rice defense with his legs and dicing the Owls through the air. He stuck a 59-yard post pattern on the first play of the game and proceeded to threw for a career-best 178 yards and a touchdown as UCF routed Rice 41-14 on homecoming at Bright House Networks Stadium. Godfrey’s dazzling play and another gritty effort from UCF’s nationally ranked defense allowed the Knights to improve to 5-2 overall, their best start since that 1998 season orchestrated by Culpepper. UCF got three more rushing touchdowns from junior tailback Ronnie Weaver en route to building a commanding 34-0 lead before a crowd of 38,151. And the Knights defense, led by Darius Nall (2.5 sacks), Troy Davis (2.5 sacks) and Bruce Miller (six tackles), made it stand up. The Knights limited Rice (2-6, 1-3) to just 12 first downs and 229 yards - much of it coming against the secondstring defense. With his confidence bubbling after his pregame pep talk with Culpepper, Godfrey came out and opened the game with a strike to senior wide receiver Kamar Aiken for 59 yards on the game’s first play. O’Leary could see that in the way that Godfrey checked two plays at the line on Saturday, recognizing two Rice blitzes and getting the Knights into two quick-hit passes. Godfrey ran five yards for UCF’s first touchdown and later he scramble around to keep alive the play where he threw to Nissley for a score. ``I’m very comfortable now, I feel like I know what’s going on and I’m still learning from (injured quarterback) Rob (Calabrese) even though he’s out,’’ Godfrey said. ``We’re doing it all together as an offensive unit. I’m just working hard and doing what my coaches want me to do.’’ Culpepper said during the game that he not only expects Godfrey to break most of his school records, but he hopes that he does just that. Culpepper said that Godfrey has the kind of charisma and talent that other big-time recruits will ultimately follow him to UCF and make the Knights an elite program. And at the end of Godfrey’s first postgame media session of the season, he was asked if he could ever envision a day when he would be brought back to the UCF campus so that his No. 2 could be honored in a ceremony. ``Man, wow,’’ Godfrey said while letting out a big sigh. ``If I do that, it would be pretty good for me.’’

ORLANDO, Fla. - Their first victory in five years against East Carolina finally secured, UCF linebacker Derrick Hallman pranced to the sideline to join his joyous teammates and begin an early celebration of a win many dubbed as one of the most important in school history. When UCF proved unstoppable all day offensively and the defense did just enough to contain East Carolina’s high-flying, pass-happy offense, the Knights were able to emerge with a 49-35 victory that made Bright House Networks Stadium throb with raw emotion and gave them a stranglehold on Conference USA’s East Division. And in the eyes of UCF standouts Jah Reid, Brian Watters and Hallman, the resounding victory was especially important because it was the first one for the senior class against an East Carolina program that had beaten the Knights four straight times. ``I’d have to put this number one because this is the only team in the conference that we had never beaten,’’ Hallman said. ``We called them our biggest rival, but you can’t really call someone a rival until we had beaten them. It’s not a rivalry if they keep winning the games. But it just feels so good for us to finally get over this hump.’’ The win, UCF’s 10th straight in league play, pushed the Knights’ record to 6-2 overall and 4-0 in C-USA. That essentially puts the Knights two games ahead of East Carolina (5-3, 4-1) because of the head-to-head tie-breaker. Against the Pirates, UCF’s offense put up 21 first downs, a whopping 424 yards and scored on six of the seven possessions that didn’t end with the team taking a knee to kill the clock. The Knights were so downright dominant offensively that they did not punt. It’s the first time since Sept. 12, 1998 - a 48-0 defeat of Eastern Illinois - that UCF played without having to punt the ball. They got a win because junior tailback Ronnie Weaver ran for a career-best 180 yards and two touchdowns, while sophomore reserve Latavius Murray scampered for another 47 yards and three touchdowns. And true freshman quarterback Jeff Godfrey did the rest, getting UCF out to a commanding 14-0 lead with two early touchdown passes and he ultimately totaled 202 yards through the air and on the ground. East Carolina, the C-USA champs each of the past two seasons, came into the game with a nine-game league winning streak itself and one of the nation’s best offenses. And quarterback Dominique Davis, a Lakeland native, kept the Pirates’ pulse beating all day with 310 passing yards and three touchdowns. Star wide out Dwayne Harris, who had given UCF fits in the past, caught nine passes for 146 yards and a touchdown. Desperate to create more big plays down the field, Godfrey went to work with his three senior wide receivers on Saturday. He found A.J. Guyton for an 8-yard touchdown on third-and-seven on the first possession. He then put the Knights up 14-0 with a 40-yard strike to Kamar Aiken. And just before the half, Godfrey found Brian Watters for a 29-yard catch-and-run that put the Knights in position to go ahead 28-14 at the break.

UCF’s ground game was so dominant running behind guard Nick Pieschel, tight end Adam Nissley and Reid, that O’Leary never hesitated going for a fourth-and-goal from the 1 early in the second quarter. Weaver pounded it across to put UCF up 21-7, and he and Murray were basically unstoppable running right all day.

HOUSTON, Texas - For weeks, UCF head coach George O’Leary has insisted that the time was coming for the Knights to take more shots down the field and trust fully in the promising talents of freshman quarterback Jeff Godfrey. On Friday night deep in the heart of Texas, the Knights unleashed their freshman phenom in full force and he certainly did not disappoint. Facing a University of Houston program that knows a thing or two about passing the football, Godfrey passed for 294 yards, accounted for three touchdowns and converted big third and fourth down plays again and again as UCF throttled past Houston 40-33 at Robertson Stadium. Once down 24-23, UCF responded with three scores to surge into the lead. The Knights had to hold on in the final minute as Houston tried driving for a tying score. But the Knights got a big pass breakup from starting cornerback Emery Allen to hang on for the win. Playing before a nationally televised audience on ESPN2, Godfrey showed why he is one of the most dynamic freshmen in the country. The Miami product completed 15-of-19 passes, ran for another 105 yards and routinely riddled Houston’s defense with his escapability against blitzes. Godfrey became just the second quarterback in school history to run for at least 100 yards, joining Vic Penn in 1999. Just as it was a week ago in the convincing 49-35 whipping of East Carolina, UCF was virtually unstoppable on the ground and through the air. The Knights rolled up 522 yards of total offense, picked up 26 first downs and basically did as it pleased on a cold and windy night. How dominant has UCF’s offense been of late with Godfrey running the controls? The Knights have punted just twice in the past eight quarters. The Knights scored on seven of their first 11 drives on Friday, a week after scoring on seven of eight drives in which they didn’t down the ball to stop the clock. With its fifth-straight win, UCF improved to 7-2 overall and 5-0 in Conference USA play, putting it firmly in control in the East Division. The Knights have now won 11-consecutive conference games over the past two seasons and have beaten Houston each of the past two seasons. Godfrey’s passing day proved to be the second-most efficient passing day in school history, trailing only a Culpepper masterpiece in October of 1995 against Sanford. Eleven of his 15 completions went for double-digit yards and three of the passes were for more than 40 yards. Jamar Newsome, a rising star in the eyes of NFL scouts, caught five passes for 123 yards. Reserve tailback Latavius Murray ran for a score and kicker Nick Cattoi booted two field goals for the Knights. Houston scored two touchdowns just after halftime to briefly storm ahead 24-23, but UCF responded immediately behind their charismatic freshman leader. He ran for seven yards on a third down, passed for seven more yards on fourth down and remarkably escaped the blitz to get free for a 25-yard pass to Newsome. Two plays, later Godfrey recovered his own fumble on a sneak play and scored to put UCF up 30-24. The 12-play, 76-yard response was easily one of UCF’s best drives of the season.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Ranked for the first time in school history and riding a feel-good 14-0 start to Saturday’s game, UCF suddenly and shockingly got rocked with a sucker punch no one could have ever seen coming. UCF’s fairy tale sprint into the nation’s top-25 rankings came to a screeching, nightmarish halt when Southern Miss ripped off 31 consecutive points and upset the No. 25/23-ranked Knights 31-21. For a UCF squad that had won 11-consecutive conference games over two years and five straight this season, losing for the first time in more than a month was shocking to the system if not downright stunning. Facing its third consecutive no-huddle, hurry-up offense in as many weeks, UCF’s defense seemed to wear down and was unable to get key stops. Southern Miss (7-3, 4-2) churned out 24 first downs and 414 yards of offense, but even more troubling was UCF’s inability to get key stops on third down. Southern Miss converted 11 of 16 times on third down, allowing the Golden Eagles to run 72 plays compared to UCF’s 59. That UCF jumped up 14-0 on Saturday by routinely gashing Southern Miss through the air and on the ground made the defeat even more shocking to the Knights and the 40,358 fans in attendance. Tailback Ronnie Weaver had 108 yards in his first six carries and freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey ran for a touchdown and threw another one as UCF led by 14 points after just 9 minutes and 20 seconds of play. But all of that positive momentum came crumbling down when Weaver ran for just four yards the rest of the game, Godfrey uncharacteristically threw two interceptions and a UCF defense that has been nationally ranked most of the season couldn’t get stops. Southern Miss junior quarterback Austin Davis riddled UCF’s secondary and linebackers for 264 yards and four touchdowns and he was sacked just once all day. UCF’s offense came into the game averaging 41.5 points a game against C-USA foes and the Knights had been so efficient of late that they punted just twice in the previous eight quarters. But with little going on the ground, UCF became too one-dimensional and Southern Miss sent blitzes at Godfrey in waves. The true freshman completed 16 of 25 passes for 190 yards, but was hurt by a couple of wide-open drops by his receivers. He was sacked three times and mostly hemmed in when trying to scramble for yardage, running for just six net yards. And Godfrey was briefly knocked from the game when he was hit by two Southern Miss players, but he returned to throw a 40-yard touchdown pass to senior wide out Jamar Newsome (five catches, 100 yards) in the fourth quarter. Trailing 17-14 at the half, UCF suffered a couple of bad blows when Southern Miss marched 65 yards in 10 plays and scored when 6-foot-6 receiver DeAndre Brown outjumped 5-foot-9 UCF cornerback Emery Allen for a 10-yard touchdown. What was particularly galling to the Knights was that Southern Miss converted on third down three times - once by penalty and twice with double-digit gainers. And when UCF missed a chance to trim the lead to seven points when Jamie Boyle’s 30-yard field goal sailed wide left, the Knights were left to try and stomach a loss that robbed them of their unbeaten status in conference play and will almost certainly knock them out of the top 25 after a one-week stay.

NEW ORLEANS, La. - Bubbling with anger for a week over losing at home seven days ago, UCF took out its pent-up frustration - from the first play of the game to the last one - on a Tulane team that was helpless at stopping a Knights’ squad clearly bent on redeeming themselves. When UCF’s overwhelming 31-point first quarter and its 61-14 beatdown of Tulane was complete inside the massive Louisiana Superdome, there was finally a sense of normalcy among a UCF program that has run roughshod over the Conference USA competition save for last week’s blip against Southern Miss. The Knights’ 61 points were the most of coach George O’Leary’s era at UCF and the most in 12 seasons. UCF (8-3 overall and 6-1 in C-USA play) set a new school record for points in a first quarter and tied the record for points in any quarter (31) and swamped the Green Wave (4-7, 2-5) in almost every phase of the game. And that humbling defeat by USM also served as motivation for a Knights team that couldn’t get to Saturday’s opening kickoff soon enough. And once the game started, UCF unleashed a first-quarter fury on Tulane never before seen in the 31-year history of the program. And it ended the same way with promising freshman cornerback Jordan Ozerities returning an interception 100 yards for a touchdown on the game’s final play. Speedy sophomore Quincy McDuffie set the tone for the afternoon with a dazzling 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and a 28-yard catch-and-run score to put the Knights up 14-0 in the first 3:06. UCF scored on the kickoff and four of its five offensive possessions in the first quarter and didn’t need more than four plays for any of those possessions. By the time freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey hit Kamar Aiken for the longest offensive play of the season - a 60-yard touchdown pass - the Knights were up 38-0 and almost 12 minutes still remained in the first half. UCF’s defense, which had struggled against spread offenses the past three weeks, forced three turnovers and surrendered only two second-quarter touchdowns after the outcome was decided. Much to the delight of the approximately 1,000 UCF fans in attendance, the Knights led 38-14 at the half. Latavius Murray, a redshirt sophomore, got his first-ever start on Saturday and delivered with the first 100-yard rushing day of his collegiate career. He had a 46-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter and needed just nine carries to top 100 yards. The talented back, who is fully recovered from knee surgery, finished with 146 yards. Godfrey threw for 133 yards and two TDs and ran for two more touchdowns, extending his school record for rushing touchdowns by a freshman quarterback to nine. He now trails only Daunte Culpepper (12 in 1998) for rushing touchdowns in a season by a Knights’ quarterback. How dominant were the Knights to start the game? They had eight first downs, 143 total yards, three long touchdowns, a 35-yard field goal by Nick Cattoi and McDuffie’s spectacular kickoff return in the first 15 minutes. And defensively, UCF limited Tulane to two net yards in the first quarter and forced two turnovers.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - For a game that lacked much drama, not to mention a lot of sharpness on either side of the football for long stretches, UCF still allowed itself to dream big on this sunny Saturday at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Having already locked up a spot in next week’s Conference USA title game, UCF went out in the regular-season finale and took care of business against Memphis and continued to carry the belief that if it can keep winning it can be back in the Liberty Bowl again in a month. UCF used another spectacular day from freshman quarterback Jeff Godfrey and two-touchdown efforts from wide out Jamar Newsome and tailback Latavius Murray to pull away from Memphis 37-17 before a crowd of 14,992. The victory ensured that the Knights (9-3 overall and 7-1 in Conference USA play) will head into Saturday’s Conference USA title game against SMU (7-5 and 6-2) with plenty of positive momentum. UCF has won seven of its last eight games with a home loss against Southern Miss being the only blip since Sept. 25. UCF’s nine wins are tied for the second-most in school history, trailing only the 10 in 1990 and 2007. And on Saturday, UCF won its school-record fifth road game of the season. The Knights had never won more than four times away from Orlando before this season. Godfrey, who breathed life into UCF’s offense with his dazzling play-making skills on the ground and through the air, closed his first regular season as a Knight by completing 14-of-17 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns. With a 245.79 efficiency rating, it is his third game this season with a rating of 232 or better. Newsome, UCF’s blossoming wide receiver, had touchdown catches of 56 and 23 yards early in the fourth quarter to break open the game. Newsome had the third 100-yard game of the season with 118 yards on nine catches. And his first touchdown catch extended UCF’s streak of consecutive games with a 40-yard touchdown catch to six games. UCF freshman Jordan Ozerities, who returned an interception 100 yards a week ago at Tulane on the game’s final play, opened the second half by forcing a fumble on the kickoff. Two minutes later, Murray was in the end zone for a touchdown that put the Knights up 23-7. UCF muddled through a sloppy first half and led 16-7 at the break. The lead certainly could have been much more substantial had the Knights not had a touchdown wiped out by an illegal pick penalty, a fumble inside the 20-yard line and a hooked extra point. The Knights scored first for the 11th time in 12 games when Godfrey scampered around left end for a nine-yard touchdown run. It was his 10th rushing touchdown of the season, extending his UCF record for rushing scores by a freshman quarterback. But a Memphis team that had mustered very little offense all season immediately responded with a score of its own to tie the game at seven-all. Coming into the game, UCF had allowed just 20 points in the first quarter all season, while the Tigers had just scored 35 first-period points.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Playing in a conference where points often come in bunches and numbers regularly flash on scoreboards like pinball machines, UCF senior captains Bruce Miller and Derrick Hallman desperately wanted to turn Saturday’s Conference USA title game into a testament about the quality and nastiness of their defense. And after a day of smothering SMU’s high-powered, run-and-shoot offense, it was only fitting that the end of the championship game came with UCF’s defense on the field and swarming furiously. When UCF sacked quarterback Kyle Padron three times on the game’s final offensive drive - by three different players nonetheless - the Knights were finally able to celebrate a 17-7 defeat of SMU and a second league championship in four seasons. A Bright House Networks Stadium crowd of 41,045 and a nationally televised audience saw the Knights (10-3) set a C-USA title game record for fewest points allowed with just seven. The Knights had five sacks, forced two turnovers and played sound defensively all day to secure their goal from the beginning of the season to be conference champs once again. That stingy defensive effort, combined with an early touchdown catch and a third-quarter 36-yard TD sprint from Most Valuable Player Latavius Murray and more efficient play from freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey, set off a wild celebration inside Bright House Networks Stadium. Cornerback Josh Robinson, who played his best game of the season with an interception, two long pass breakups and seven tackles, was the first to get his hands on a `Conference USA champions’ T-shirt and hat and proudly showed it to everyone. As has been the case since he took over the offense back in September, Godfrey was a star for the Knights with his playmaking skills via the air and the ground. He not only set a C-USA record for completion percentage (78.9 percent on 15 of 19 passing), but he also adeptly scrambled throughout the day to keep drives alive. His poise in the pocket allowed the Knights to convert on seven of their first 10 third down plays. Murray, who rose to the starting tailback job just three weeks ago, made plenty happen in the game for the Knights as well. He ran five times for 26 yards on the first drive of the game and caught the first touchdown of his career to put UCF up 7-0. It was the 12th time in 13 games that the Knights have scored first in a game. And when Murray raced 36 yards for a touchdown midway through the third quarter, it put UCF up 17-0 and seemed to secure the victory what with the way the Knights’ defense was playing. From there, UCF’s defense made the 17-0 start stand up. The Knights battered Padron most of the day, limited the long runs by C-USA rushing leader Zach Line (94 yards) and forced the two turnovers on interceptions by Robinson and senior safety Reggie Weams.

Head Coach - Seventh Year at UCF

George O’Leary C-USA Coach of the Year - 2005, 2007, 2010 • ACC Coach of the Year - 1998, 2000 In his seven years at UCF, George O’Leary has helped the Knights achieve dozens of historic firsts including games in front of sellout crowds on campus, individual accolades for student-athletes, two conference championships and trips to prestigious bowl games. For O’Leary, it has been business as usual. Since taking over the program in 2004, O’Leary has made sure that UCF has reached new heights. On and off of the field, the veteran head coach has molded his program into a consistent winner. His hard work contributed to the construction of Bright House Networks Stadium. Interest in the program has never been higher. His student-athletes are enjoying record success in the classroom, and the Knights are winning on the football field. For the second time in four years, O’Leary has guided the Knights to a 10-win season, Conference USA championship and AutoZone Liberty Bowl berth. The Knights earned their first-ever national rankings in 2010 and O’Leary was rewarded with the C-USA Coach of the Year award as voted on by his peers for the third time in six years. In 2007, O’Leary guided the Knights to arguably the finest campaign in program history. UCF won 10 contests, claimed the Conference USA Championship and participated in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in front of a nationally-televised audience on ESPN. There was little suspense as to who would garner C-USA Coach of the Year honors. O’Leary was recognized with the award for the second time in three campaigns. For the Knights and their fans, 2007 was truly a year to remember. For the college football world, the season was more evidence that O’Leary has built the Knights into a powerful program. And just two years later, O’Leary and the Knights put together an impressive run at the end of the 2009 season to earn a bid to the St. Petersburg Bowl. UCF went 5-1 down the stretch and won six-straight CUSA contests to close out the regular season. That included the Knights’ first win in school history over a nationally-ranked Football Bowl Subdivision program when they upset No. 13/12 Houston, 37-32, on Homecoming. Helping UCF Arrive on the National Scene O’Leary has already left his stamp on the Knights’ program. When he arrived in Orlando in 2004, UCF was not a factor on the regional or national scenes. O’Leary rebuilt the program from the ground up. He lobbied for new facilities, toured the state to gain publicity, restocked UCF with top recruits and made sure his student-athletes excelled in their studies. The growth of the program was no more evident than in 2007. UCF posted a school-record seven-game winning streak during the season. The conference championship was the first in program history.

The 10 wins during the year established a program record at the FBS level which UCF has matched in 2010. O’Leary helped tailback Kevin Smith post one of the most dominant single-season rushing performances. The junior rushed for 2,567 yards, good for second all-time in NCAA history, and 29 touchdowns. He became the only rusher in the state of Florida and the 12th all-time in the NCAA FBS to eclipse the 2,000yard mark in a season. The 2008 season saw Joe Burnett also earn first-team All-America honors as he shattered the school and CUSA punt return records and graduated ranked 19th in NCAA history in career punt return yards. In 2009, Josh Robinson was a first-team freshman AllAmerican and Bruce Miller won the first of two consecutive C-USA Defensive Player of the Year awards. In addition to Miller, Jeff Godfrey was named the 2010 C-USA Freshman of the Year and a school record five Knights made the All-Conference USA first team this year. Excellence off the Field O’Leary has reshaped the UCF program in every facet, including improved results in the classroom. The Knights turned in a successful effort in the classroom during the 2008 campaign, registering the highest in-season grade-point average in program history at 2.782. A total of 55 student-athletes recorded a GPA of least 3.0 during the fall 2008 semester. Defensive lineman Keith Shologan became the first player in school history to receive ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America First Team honors in 2007. Rocky Ross picked up Academic All-America honors in 2009. Ross, Shologan, Sha’reff Rashad and Josh Linam have been selected to the C-USA Football AllAcademic Team under O’Leary. T.J. Harnden received UCF’s highest honor, the Order of the Pegasus, in 2009, becoming the second active student-athlete to be so recognized. In 2008, Rashad was named to the league all-academic squad for the second-consecutive year. In 2007, he was named the UCF Male Scholar Athlete of the Year, becoming the second-straight football player to earn the honor. Rashad was twice named to the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame’s Hampshire Honors Society. Offensive lineman Dan Veenstra was the award winner in 2006. Guiding the Knights Toward Prominence The 2006 season featured several memorable moments for the Knights as they finished their final campaign at the Florida Citrus Bowl. Wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker had a record-breaking season. The Orlando native broke the single-season school record for receptions with 90 and hauled in 1,178 receiving yards just a year removed from an ACL injury. He earned All-C-USA First Team honors and was one of five Knights recognized for their strong play by the league office.

In 2005, O’Leary’s second season at UCF, he engineered one of the top turnarounds in the history of college football. Just one year removed from an 0-11 campaign, he guided the Knights to a historic season, complete with the program’s first bowl appearance.

AutoZone Liberty Bowl - Dec. 31, 2010

O’Leary led UCF to the fourth-best turnaround in NCAA history with a record of 8-5. The Knights went 7-1 in C-USA and claimed the league’s East Division title. The squad became just the sixth team in NCAA history to go to a bowl game a year after going winless as the Knights participated in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. The college football world took notice of the turnaround. O’Leary was named the C-USA Coach of the Year. Both CBSsports.com and SportsIllustrated.com named him the national coach of the year. Facing an 11-game schedule with just four home games, his squad became just the fourth team in NCAA history to earn a bowl berth while playing seven road contests. Even more remarkable, the turnaround was made with a team of mostly underclassmen. Pipeline to the Pros O’Leary has experience coaching on the professional level and, as a result, has helped several Knights move on to the NFL. Seven Knights who played under O’Leary have been selected in the NFL Draft. Torell Troup went in the second round, 41st overall, to Buffalo this past April. Burnett was a fifth-round pick of Pittsburgh in 2009. Smith was one of three UCF players taken in the 2008 draft. He was the first pick of the third round by Detroit. Offensive lineman Josh Sitton went to Green Bay in the fourth round and Kansas City selected tight end Mike Merritt with its seventh-round pick. After his incredible senior season in 2006, Sims-Walker was selected by Jacksonville in the third round. In the previous year’s draft, wide receiver Brandon Marshall was Denver’s fourth-round selection. Other former Knights who played under O’Leary, including defensive lineman Paul Carrington, tailback Alex Haynes, tight end Darcy Johnson and kicker Matt Prater, have also spent time in the NFL. Success at Georgia Tech O’Leary was the head coach at Georgia Tech from 1994-01 after taking over as interim head coach for the final three games of the 1994 season. During his seven-year stint at Georgia Tech, O’Leary guided the Yellow Jackets to a 52-33 record. The squad made five bowl appearances under O’Leary.

From 1995-01, Georgia Tech recorded five winning seasons in six years. His 1998 squad won the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship and played in the Gator Bowl on New Year’s Day. O’Leary’s Georgia Tech teams won at least seven games on four occasions , including a 10-win campaign in 1998 and nine victories in 2000. The 2000 Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year, O’Leary was named the ACC Coach of the Year in 1998 and 2000. One trademark of O’Leary’s tenure as a head coach has been the quality of his coaching staffs. While at Georgia Tech, he had three assistants who later garnered head coaching jobs. Ralph Friedgen (Maryland), Randy Edsall (Connecticut) and Ted Roof (Duke) all served under O’Leary. Both Friedgen and Edsall have led their schools to BCS conference titles. NFL Experience Prior to coming to UCF, O’Leary served on Minnesota’s NFL coaching staff for two seasons. In 2003, he was the Vikings’ defensive coordinator. In his first season with the team in 2002, he guided the defensive line into becoming the strength of the Minnesota defense. He also served as the squad’s assistant head coach. O’Leary also served as the defensive line coach for San Diego from 1992-93. In 1992, the defense had 51 sacks as the Chargers won the AFC West with an 11-5 record. Moving Up the Ranks O’Leary had the first of two stints at Georgia Tech from 1987-91. He served as the defensive coordinator/defensive line coach. The team finished 11-0-1 in 1990 and won the national championship, defeating Nebraska in the Florida Citrus Bowl. A Long Island native, O’Leary received his first coaching job at the collegiate level at Syracuse (1980-86). He coached the defensive line and was also the assistant head coach his final two seasons. He started his coaching career at the high school level. From 1968-76, he coached at Central Islip (N.Y.) High School. O’Leary was the head coach at the school from 1975-76, before taking over as the head coach at Liverpool High School. He posted a 37-8-1 record in five seasons as a prep head coach, including a perfect 10-0 campaign in 1979. O’Leary was born in Central Islip, N.Y., and attended Central Islip High School. He attended the University of New Hampshire and earned his degree in physical education. O’Leary and his wife, Sharon, have two daughters, Chris and Trish, and two sons, Tim and Marty. The O’Leary’s welcomed their first grandchild in 2006 as Tim and his wife Jennifer gave birth to a son named Tate. The couple had a second son, Cullen, in 2008 and a daughter, Maggie, in 2010.

UCF Bowl History 2005 SHERATON HAWAII BOWL

Nevada UCF DECEMBER 24, 2005 ALOHA STADIUM

49 OT 48 HONOLULU, HAWAII

HONOLULU - UCF dropped a 49-48 overtime decision to Nevada in the 2005 Sheraton Hawaii Bowl, the first bowl game in school history. The Knights finished the season with an 8-5 record, just one year after going 0-11. The turnaround of seven games from 2004 placed UCF tied with seven other schools for the fourth-best singleseason turnaround in Football Bowl Subdivision history. UCF kicker Matt Prater, who had three field goals during the game, missed the game-tying extra point wide right, giving the Wolf Pack the win. B.J. Mitchell ran for 178 yards and two touchdowns, and Robert Hubbard had 126 yards rushing and three touchdowns for the Wolf Pack (9-3), who finished with their best season since 1996 and spoiled UCF’s bowl debut. UCF’s Brandon Marshall caught a 16-yard pass for a touchdown that tied the game at 42 with 55 seconds left. The score capped a four-play, 48-yard drive that took just 37 seconds. Prater booted a 46-yard field goal with 1:32 left to draw UCF to 42-35, and the Knights recovered the onside kick with no time-outs left, setting up Marshall’s dramatic catch that sent the game into overtime. Trailing 32-28, the Wolf Pack took the lead on Hubbard’s 5-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. Nevada scored again on Rowe’s 7-yard scoring pass to Travis Branzell for a 42-32 lead with 3:18 remaining. Kevin Smith, Conference USA’s Freshman of the Year, scored on a 78-yard run, the second longest run from scrimmage in UCF history, to give the Knights a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. The run was the longest in school history by a freshman and in UCF’s 10-year Football Bowl Subdivision history. The longest run from scrimmage in UCF history was Elgin Davis’ 79-yard scoring run vs. Samford (Nov. 15, 1986). The 78-yard touchdown run by Smith was the second-longest run by a true freshman in the NCAA during the year. It also marked the longest run in Sheraton Hawaii Bowl history.

UCF Bowl History 2007 AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL

Mississippi State UCF DECEMBER 29, 2007 LIBERTY BOWL MEMORIAL STADIUM

10 3 MEMPHIS, TENN.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - UCF’s memorable season came to a close in a 10-3 loss to Mississippi State in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Mississippi State’s win in the Liberty Bowl was the kind of game coach Sylvester Croom’s mentor would have loved. Playing at the site Paul “Bear” Bryant’s final game 25 years ago, the Bulldogs used power running and a dominant defense to beat UCF 10-3 on Saturday and earn a milestone win for the once dormant program. Anthony Dixon powered in from the 1 for the winning touchdown with 1:54 to go and most valuable player Derek Pegues picked off two passes in a game featuring anemic offenses and 17 punts. The Bulldogs (8-5) kept the Knights (10-4) out of the end zone and Kevin Smith from breaking the single-season rushing record. The junior finished with 119 yards, leaving him 61 shy of Barry Sanders’ mark of 2,628 yards set for Oklahoma State in 1988. “I was trying to find the holes, but they were playing faster than us,” said Smith. It was the lowest scoring Liberty Bowl since Penn State beat Tulane 9-6 in 1979, but the pro-Mississippi State record crowd of 63,816 was rewarded for its patience as Dixon and the Bulldogs offense came alive late in the fourth quarter. Croom, in his fourth season with Mississippi State, and the Bulldogs have played this way all year, resurrecting a program that hadn’t won more than three games in six seasons. As the Bulldogs did in big wins over Auburn, Kentucky and Alabama this season, they concentrated on the running game - both on offense and defense. Smith found the going difficult in the second half and finished with an average of 3.4 yards per carry after rushing for 188.3 yards per game during the regular season. Dixon finished with 86 yards and became the seventh Bulldogs runner to go over 1,000 yards (1,066). But like the rest of the Bulldogs, he was ineffective much of the game. The teams were tied 3-3 at halftime, mostly due to conservative play-calling. Neither team converted a third down in the first half (0 for 16) as Mississippi State was held to 84 total yards and UCF to 79. Israel had 12 yards passing and two interceptions by halftime and Mississippi State’s Wes Carroll had 15 yards and an interception. UCF also didn’t get much help from kicker Michael Torres, who gave the Knights a 3-0 lead in the second quarter with a 45-yard field goal, but missed from 32 and 37 in the second half. “I think those missed field goals were big momentum breakers,” UCF coach George urn the O’Leary said. “Give Mississippi State credit. They fought hard and didn’t turn ball over. That usually means you’re going to come up with a close win likee that.” Mississippi State finished with 199 total yards and Blake McAdams tied thee Liberty ig plays Bowl record with 11 punts. But the Bulldogs came up with just enough big :47 left. after Keith Fitzhugh picked off Israel’s pass at the Mississippi State 41 with 5:47 shes for Carroll, pulled the series before, returned and responded with two rushes purred a 17 yards and two completions for 15 yards. All went for first downs and spurred 10-play, 59-yard drive that consumed 3:53 and finally led to a touchdown. h-down Pegues, fittingly, made the final key defensive play, knocking down a fourth-down d forced pass on UCF’s final drive. The Bulldogs held the Knights to 219 yards and four turnovers. h interThe junior safety gave Mississippi State two excellent opportunities with ceptions in the first 30 minutes, returning the ball to UCF’s 6 and 38. The safety’s first pick set up a 22-yard field goal by Adam Carlson in the second quarter.r.

UCF Bowl Historyy 2009 ST. PETERSBURG BOWL

UCF Rutgers DECEMBER 19, 2009 TROPICANA FIELD

24 45 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The St. Petersburg Bowl presented what seemed to be a perfect storm for UCF on Saturday night what with 20,000 of its fans packed inside Tropicana Field and a hot football team positioned for the first bowl victory in school history. But an avalanche of errors combined with speedy, physical opponent in Rutgers ruined what could have been a dreamy, feel-good night for UCF’s program and its hopeful fanbase. Down four points late in the second quarter, UCF allowed an interception return to sap its momentum and the Knights could never mount much of a comeback in a disappointing 45-24 loss to Rutgers in the second St. Petersburg Bowl presented by Beef `O’ Brady’s. ``As I told the players, I’m embarrassed for the football team that we didn’t go out and do a better job for the fanbase and for the football program,’’ UCF coach George O’Leary said. ``I thought we beat ourselves a lot in a lot of situations out there,’’ a frustrated O’Leary continued. ``Right now, Rutgers defense was just a lot better than our offense and that was the difference in the game.’’ UCF (8-5) had hoped that the momentum of a strong finish to the regular season, one in which it won the final six conference games and knocked off Marshall, Houston and UAB down the stretch, would carry over to the bowl game. But problems on both sides of the ball sabotaged the Knights’ chances of pulling off the upset in this game. Playing before roughly 20,000 Knights fans among the Tropicana Field crowd of 29,763, UCF netted just 35 yards on the ground, 33 of them coming in the fourth quarter when the outcome of the game was already decided. And in the passing game, two Brett Hodges’ interceptions led to 14 points for Rutgers, bowl winners for a fourth consecutive season. And UCF UCF’ss defense yielded 380 yards a and eight third-down conversions. ards ``The h offense put up 14 points and a field goal early and he defensively nssively we played our butts off. We didn’t want to go out like k this, and this is so disappointing,’’ senior defensive ke tacklee Travis Timmons said. ``It’s just such a big letdown. We’ree 0-14 now against Big East teams and 0-3 in bowl games. s Torrell (Troup), Bruce (Miller) and myself along the s. defensive nssive line wanted wa to change all of that, but unfortunately t tunately things th hings didn’t go the way we wanted a anted them m to.’’ Rutgers t tgers (9-4) played like an experienced e team in its fifth consecutive ed bowl, using big plays p on offense and an attacking a defe defense ense to frustrate the Knights. t Rutgers got ts. g six sacks and two intercepti ceeptions de defensively efensively and freshman quarterback quarterbackk Tom Savage threw for 294 yards a and two ards tw wo TDs.
