TEAM NOTES

THE OPENING DRIVE...

RESILIENT KNIGHTS SHOW THEIR HEART • No mountain has seemed too steep for the Knights in 2009 as the team is 8-4 despite leading at the half only three times in those 12 games. Even both of UCF’s C-USA losses nearly saw the Knights rally to win as both games dramatically got down to onside-kick situations on the road. The Knights have outscored opponents 196-115 (+81) after intermission this year, including a 105-47 (+58) edge in the third quarter of games. DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK • The Knights have overcome double-digit deficits three times this year. UCF trailed defending MAC Champion Buﬀalo 17-7 at the half on Sept. 19 but scored 16 unanswered secondhalf points to win the game 23-17. It marked the first time the Knights rallied back from a double-digit deficit to win since Nov. 19, 2005. In that game, UCF trailed Rice by 12, 21-9, at the half in Houston before rallying to win 3128. On Nov. 1, UCF also trailed Marshall 17-7 at halftime (and trailed by 13 points in the fourth quarter) before rallying to win. UCF was down 14 points to No. 13 Houston (17-3) on Nov. 14 before rallying for what tied for the secondbiggest come-from-behind win in school history. UCF is 3-0 this year when leading at the half, 1-0 when tied at the half, and a remarkable 4-4 when trailing at halftime.

KNIGHTS HOPE FOR NINE IN 2009... • With a bowl game win, 2009 would tie for the third-winningest season in school history with nine. 10 2007, 1990 9 1998, 1993, 1987 8 2009, 2005 AMONGST AMERICA’S MOST IMPROVED • UCF is four games better than it was a year ago, recording an 8-4 record thus far after going 4-8 in 2008. This ties for the fifth-biggest improvement in the nation. BIGGEST IMPROVEMENTS FROM 2008-09 SCHOOL 2008 2009 MARGIN SMU 1-11 7-5 +6 Idaho 2-10 7-5 +5 Ohio 4-8 9-4 +5 Washington 0-12 5-7 +5 UCF 4-8 8-4 +4 Iowa State 2-10 6-6 +4 Middle Tenn. 5-7 9-3 +4 Temple 5-7 9-3 +4

0-2 TO 6-2 • This season UCF became just the second team to ever start a Conference USA slate at 0-2 and then win each of its next six league games to finish 6-2. This rare feat was also accomplished by the 2006 Rice Owls. The Knights dropped seven-point games on the road at Southern Miss and East Carolina in September before the team’s offense in particular had a chance to gel. UCF bounced back a week after the ECU loss to down Memphis, 32-14, at Bright House Networks Stadium and did not look back in league play, including a victory over West Division Champion Houston, then ranked No. 13/12 in the nation, and a win over bowl-bound Marshall. ALL WE NEED IS 20 • With the strength of UCF’s defense over the past few years, its offense has not needed much to win games. In fact, 20 points has been a sort of magical dividing line. Over the past 33 games, UCF is 18-1 when scoring 20 points or more and 1-13 when scoring less than 20 points. This year so far the Knights are 8-0 when scoring at least 20 and 0-4 when held under that number. WELL DISCIPLINED • UCF is second in the nation, trailing only Navy, with 3.92 penalties per game. UCF also ranks fifth nationally for giving its foes just 37.00 penalty yards per game. UCF GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS • UCF finished second in a competitive C-USA East Division which sent four teams to bowl games. The Knights won six league games this year, but UCF did so with such a team effort that it provided for record low weekly individual accolades. UCF had just two C-USA Player of the Week awards this year, both on defense by Bruce Miller. That sum ties the 2006 Southern Miss Golden Eagles for the fewest C-USA Player of the Week honorees ever by a team with six C-USA wins. Thanks in large part to the dominance of Houston quarterback Case Keenum, a Heisman Trophy candidate for much of the season, UCF and East Carolina this year became just the second and third six-win C-USA teams to ever win that many league games without an Offensive Player of the Week to their credit, joining the 1999 Southern Miss squad. UCF is just the sixth six-win team out of 28 all-time to not have a Special Teams Player of the Week, all of which is a testament to the overall special team effort that allowed UCF to go 8-4 this year and 6-2 in C-USA play.

• UCF leads C-USA in total, rushing and scoring defense plus sacks and TFLs. • The Knights tied for the fifth-largest improvement in the country from 2008 to the 2009 regular season. • UCF won five of its last six games to close out the 2009 regular season and each of its last six conference tilts. • The Knights are going for their ninth win of the season yet have led at the half just three times this year. • UCF is looking for its first-ever win over a BIG EAST foe and is facing Rutgers for the first time. • The Knights averaged 381.6 yards of total oﬀense over the final eight games of the season. • UCF’s Bruce Miller was named the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and is fifth in the nation in sacks. • St. Petersburg is one of just three bowls to match two teams who both have an APR of at least 960. Helping that is UCF’s ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American Rocky Ross.

TEAM NOTES, CONT. KNIGHTS STRIKE GOLD IN 49-0 WIN • UCF’s dominating 49-0 win over Tulane on Senior Day, Nov. 21, was the largest shutout win ever in a Conference USA league game. The previous record was a 33-0 win by Southern Miss over Houston on Nov. 15, 1997. It also represents the third-most lopsided win this year in the nation over a team from the Football Bowl Subdivision. It is the second-largest shutout win this year in an FBS conference game as well. UCF outgained Tulane by a margin of 504 yards to 50 in the game.

NOVEMBER REIGN • There’s an old adage that the best teams get better as the year goes along and UCF has been no exception under George O’Leary. The Knights are 15-6 overall in November since joining Conference USA after going 4-1 in 2009, losing only on the road at No. 2 Texas. November is UCF’s winningest month in the C-USA era, eclipsing the school’s 10 October wins.

The Knights are 14-6 at BHNS all-time and 10-3 in C-USA play, playing to an average of 40,612 fans per game over that three-year span. BESTING THE WEST • UCF is a perfect 6-0 against teams from CUSA’s West Division at Bright House Networks Stadium. The Knights defeated Tulsa twice at home in 2007, including the Conference USA Championship Game. The Knights also beat UTEP at their new home in 2007 and SMU in 2008. UCF has defeated Houston and Tulane this year at Bright House Networks Stadium. The sixth C-USA West team, Rice, will make its Bright House Networks Stadium debut next fall. UCF SURE IS “BIG” TIME • Did you know that UCF is America’s third-largest university? Oﬃcial numbers from the U.S. Department of Education are below.

NO LETDOWNS • UCF went 3-0 this year in games following a game against a ranked opponent. UCF downed Rice on the road a week after facing No. 9 Miami, downed No. 13 Houston a week after facing No. 2 Texas and then defeated Tulane after the game with the Cougars.

KNIGHTS SHINE BRIGHT AT BRIGHT HOUSE • UCF completed its 2009 home schedule going 6-1, in addition to a perfect 4-0 mark vs. C-USA opponents at Bright House Networks Stadium. The Knights went undefeated at home in league play for the second time in three years (2007).

• One connection between the four largest schools in America is UCF assistant coach Tim Salem who has spent time at all of them. Salem enrolled at Minnesota, transferred to Arizona State and has coached at both Ohio State and UCF.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS... Senior Captain Cory Hogue, LB On overcoming the team’s slow start: “I think a loss can only teach you. You can only grow and gain strength from a loss. I think a lot of guys have matured from those losses and learned from them. I think the second half of the year was great for us. We finished 8-4, and now we are going to try to make it 9-4 against Rutgers.” Senior Captain Rocky Ross, WR On playing in St. Petersburg: “Hopefully we can get a lot of UCF fans there. It is pretty much in the middle of Florida. It should be easy travel and good weather so UCF fans have no excuse not to go to this game.”

The last time UCF faced a BIG EAST team, Sept. 5, 2008, Rocky Ross’ touchdown in the final minute sent UCF to overtime against No. 17 USF but the Bulls would prevail, 31-24, before a packed house at Bright House Networks Stadium and an ESPN2 national television audience.

THE ST. PETERSBURG BOWL

BOWL GAMES AND SERIES NOTES THE THIRD FRAME • UCF is playing in a bowl game for the first time. In 2005, on the heels of a C-USA East Division title, the 8-4 Knights headed west to the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl where Nevada beat UCF in a 49-48 thriller. In 2007, after winning the Conference USA Championship, a 10-3 UCF team traveled to Memphis for the AutoZone Liberty Bowl but dropped a 10-3 decision to Mississippi State. IT’S JUST DOWN I-4 • UCF will be playing a bowl game in its home state for the first time ever after making its bowl debut almost 5,000 miles away in Hawaii in 2005 and competing in Memphis in 2007. UCF will have the shortest distance to travel of any 2009 bowl team. Using Mapquest.com and measuring from the city center, it is 106.49 miles from Orlando to St. Petersburg, narrowly edging out Southern Miss’ trip from Hattiesburg to the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl (110.57 miles). UCF is one of six teams nationally which will have to travel less than 200 miles for its bowl game. 2009 BOWL TRIPS UNDER 200 MILES SCHOOL UCF Southern Miss Temple North Carolina Florida State Troy

DOME SWEET DOME • UCF will be playing its fifth game indoors when it plays at Tropicana Field. The Knights are 1-1 all-time against Tulane in the Louisiana Superdome, downing the Green Wave 36-29 on Sept. 22, 2001, but losing by a 10-9 score on Nov. 18, 2006. UCF is 0-2 against Syracuse at the Carrier Dome, dropping games there in both 2001 and 2003. The Knights will face the Green Wave in the Crescent City next fall. WE’RE IN THE BIG LEAGUES • UCF is playing in an active Major League Baseball park for the second year in a row as Tropicana Field is also home to the Tampa Bay Rays. On Oct. 11, 2008, UCF played Miami at then-Dolphin Stadium, home of the Florida Marlins. Other than schools which play their home games in a baseball facility, the Knights are one of four teams nationally to be playing in an active MLB park in both 2008 and 2009 joining Iowa (Metrodome and Land Shark Stadium), Northern Illinois (Metrodome and Rogers Centre) and USF (Tropicana Field and Rogers Centre).

NEW JERSEY IS NEW • UCF is facing Rutgers for the first time. It is also UCF’s first-ever game against a school from the state of New Jersey. Alltime, UCF is 63-64-1 in 128 previous first meetings. The Knights last faced a new opponent on Oct. 11, 2008, when the team lost at Miami. CONNECTIONS • Several Knights will be returning to their home area by Tampa Bay for this game, including Jordan Becker (Clearwater), Nick Cattoi (Tampa), Brynn Harvey (Largo), Charley Hughlett (Tampa), Andy Slowik (Bradenton) and Joe Weatherford (Land O’Lakes). UCF has no players from New Jersey but does have a pair of Long Islanders in Islip Terrance’s Rob Calabrese and Shoreham’s Brendan Kelly. The Knights also feature Jamie Boyle of Central Valley in New York State’s Orange County, near the New Jersey state line...Rutgers’ roster features numerous players from Florida and two from Central Florida in Winter Haven’s D.C. Jefferson and Cocoa’s David Rowe...UCF’s Cliff McCray and Rutgers’ Damaso Munoz were classmates at Miami’s Southridge HS...The UCF coaching staff also has some New York City area natives. George O’Leary grew up in both New York City’s lower east side and Central Islip on Long Island. He coached at Central Islip HS and Liverpool HS before beginning his collegiate coaching career at Syracuse. UCF defensive line coach Jim Panagos is a Brooklyn native who attended East Islip HS. UCF offensive coordinator Charlie Taaffe is an Albany native who graduated from Siena and later coached at both Albany and Army. BIG EAST HAS NOT BEEN BIG EASY • UCF has never defeated a BIG EAST Conference foe. UCF’s last game against a BIG EAST team was one of its most exciting though as the Knights, before a capacity crowd at Bright House Networks Stadium, scored in the final minute to force overtime but eventaully fell, 31-24, to No. 17 USF. With the addition of Rutgers to the roll, UCF will have faced six of the eight current members of the BIG EAST Conference in its brief football history. The Knights have yet to face either Cincinnati or Connecticut. In its history, UCF has faced nine of the 12 all-time members of the BIG EAST football conference, also playing Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech in the past but never Temple.

THE ST. PETERSBURG BOWL

BOWL AND SERIES NOTES, CONT. PLAYOFFS? PLAYOFFS? WE’VE HAD THOSE BEFORE TOO • UCF’s postseason history is deeper than just its two previous bowl game appearances. In 1987, the Knights went 8-3 in the regular season to earn a spot in the NCAA Division II playoffs. UCF beat Indiana (Pa.) 12-10 in its first game before falling to eventual national champion Troy State. UCF joined what was then known as Division I-AA in 1990 and was an NCAA Tournament team its first year at that level. UCF downed Youngstown State on the road, 20-17, and William & Mary, 52-38, in Orlando before losing, 44-7, on the road at eventual national champion Georgia Southern. In 1993, UCF once again qualified for the I-AA playoffs but lost its opening game, 56-30, at eventual national champion Youngstown State. UCF joins Troy as the only schools to win a Division II playoff game, a Football Championship Subdivision playoff game and appear in a bowl game since 1987. BOWL EXPERIENCES BEYOND UCF • In addition to the Knights who remain from the team’s 2005 and 2007 rosters, two have travelled to bowl games before transferring to UCF. Although he did not play in any of the games, Brett Hodges was with Wake Forest at the 2007 FedEx Orange Bowl (vs. Louisville), 2007 Meineke Car Care Bowl (vs. UConn) and 2008 EagleBank Bowl (vs. Navy). Michael Greco was at NC State for the Wolfpack’s 14-0 win over USF in the 2005 Meineke Car Care Bowl but redshirted that season and did not play in the game.

OFFENSE NOTES OFFENSE GOT IT IN GEAR • UCF has a new offensive coordinator (Charlie Taaffe), starting quarterback (Brett Hodges) and has regularly started two linemen (Abré Leggins and Cliff McCray) who joined the team over the summer. It obviously needed some time to click, but it did starting in week five against Memphis. The differences from the first four games of the season to the last eight games are dramatic: CATEGORY Scoring Offense Rushing Offense Passing Offense Total Offense Time of Possession

GAMES 1-4 84 (21.0) 380 (95.0) 743 (185.8) 1,123 (280.8) 28:32

GAMES 5-12 232 (29.0) 1,282 (160.2) 1,771 (221.4) 3,053 (381.6) 32:23

THE BIG PLAY IS BACK • UCF promised to get more dynamic on offense this year and delivered. The Knights have 32 passing plays of at least 20 yards. In all of 2008, UCF had a total of just 12 completions of 20 yards or more. UCF had six such completions against Marshall alone, half of its 2008 season total. Eight different Knights have a catch of at least 20 yards this year while only four did all of last year. UCF is also spreading the ball around more. Ten different Knights had a catch at UAB, the most in one game since also having 10 against Miami (Ohio) on Nov. 28, 2003. KNIGHTS ABLE TO PUT LONG DRIVES TOGETHER • A clear sign of UCF’s improved offense in 2009 is its ability to sustain long drives. UCF has had nine scoring marches of at least 11 plays this year after having just five a year ago. UCF had scoring drives of over 8:30 against both Southern Miss and Buffalo, a feat it had not accomplished since 2007. - Against Buffalo, UCF had two separate 14-play scoring drives. It was the first time that UCF had two scoring drives of at least 14 plays in the same game since the 1993 NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs at Youngstown State.

- UCF has eight scoring drives of at least 80 yards in its last nine games. - Against Memphis, UCF secured the victory with a 92-yard fourth quarter touchdown drive, its longest march since a 99-yard drive against Marshall in 2007 and tying for the second-longest of the six-year George O’Leary era. - It all adds up to first downs. UCF tallied 28 vs. Tulane and Memphis, which were its most in a game since ECU on Oct. 6, 2007. THAT’S OUR BALL! • UCF amassed 39:30 in time of possession to help keep Houston’s dangerous offense off of the field in the Knights’ upset win over the No. 13/12 Cougars on Nov. 14. It is the most possession time that UCF has had in a game in the FBS era (since 1996). UCF followed it up with 37:23 showing against Tulane. HE’S THE GUY-TON • Wide receiver A.J. Guyton missed the entire 2008 season with an injury but showed that he was back to his old self at East Carolina, hauling in a career-high nine passes for 119 yards. The nine receptions tied for the most by a Knight since current Jacksonville Jaguar Mike Sims-Walker caught 13 passes against Rice on Oct. 21, 2006. He had 103 yards at Rice and also threw a touchdown pass in that game. He had an even 100 yards against Marshall, making him the first Knight since Rocky Ross in 2006 to have consecutive 100 yard receiving games. Guyton leads UCF with 42 catches this year and 559 receiving yards. HARVEY’S DANGEROUS FOR OPPONENTS • Sophomore Brynn Harvey is 26th in the nation in rushing, averaging 97.91 yards per game on the heels of a 130-yard, three-touchdown performance in the win vs. Tulane, his fifth 100-yard rushing day of the season and third in a row. Harvey ran for 219 in UCF’s win over Memphis. He proved to be a workhorse in that game, carrying the ball 42 times, thirdmost in school history and the second-most nationally this year. Harvey has 14 rushing touchdowns this year, good for second in UCF history. UCF as a team had just eight all of last year. He is the first Knight since Kevin Smith in 2007 to have consecutive three-touchdown games (vs. Houston and Tulane), and also the first since Smith ended his career with eight in 2007 to record three consecutive 100-yard rushing games (vs. Houston, Tulane and UAB). SUPER SOPHOMORE • Brynn Harvey is starting to earn comparisons to former Knight Kevin Smith, a consensus All-American in 2007 who is now the starting tailback for the Detroit Lions. Their sophomore year statistics are not far apart for average totals. ATT YARDS TD AVG. YPG Harvey, 2009 248 1,077 14 4.3 97.9 Smith, 2006 206 934 7 4.5 103.8 ELEVEN IN A WINNER • UCF is currently riding a streak of 11-consecutive quarters with a score. The Knights were shutout through 15 minutes by then-No. 13/12 Houston on Nov. 14 but scored in each of the final three quarters of their upset win and then scored in each quarter of wins over Tulane and UAB. UCF last scored in 11-consecutive quarters from Oct. 13-Nov. 3, 2007. BRETT PLAYING LIKE A VET • After transferring from Wake Forest for his senior year to play for his favorite childhood team, Winter Springs’ Brett Hodges assumed the role of starting quarterback with his steady play in the first two games. He did not disappoint in his first start against Buffalo, completing 15-of-20 passes and piling up 212 yards of total offense (71 rushing, 141 passing) in the win. His 342 passing yards against Marshall were the most by a Knight since 2003 and the team’s first 300-yard passing effort overall since 2007. Behind Hodges, UCF is fifth in C-USA in passing efficiency a year after ranking 12th in the league.

THE ST. PETERSBURG BOWL NOTES ON HODGES’ PERFORMANCE VS. HOUSTON • Brett Hodges completed 21-of-25 passes for 241 yards with one TD and one INT in UCF’s upset win over No. 13/12 Houston on Nov. 14. At one point completed 12-consecutive passes, tying for the second-longest streak in UCF history. His 84-percent completion percentage is sixth-best in UCF history and the second-best since Daunte Culpepper’s 1998 graduation. Combined with his 342 passing yards against Marshall, it is the most yards by a UCF QB in consecutive starts since 2004. He has 2,263 yards passing on the season, the most by a Knight since Steven Moffett ’s 2,925 in 2005. JAH RULES • Only one UCF player was named to the All-Conference USA offensive unit and that was junior right tackle Jah Reid. The 6-7, 314 pound behemoth from Haines City has started every game this year and helped pave the way for a UCF offense that has improved from 2,754 yards and 16.6 points per game in 2008 to 4,176 yards and 26.3 points per game in 2009. ROCKY V • Named to the ESPN The Magazine CoSIDA Academic All-America Team and the C-USA Football All-Academic Team, wide receiver Rocky Ross is in his second senior year after earning a medical redshirt in 2008 due to a broken collar bone suffered at UTEP. As a junior, Ross led the Knights with 50 receptions and 658 yards for an average of 47.0 yards per game. In 2009, he picked up where he left off in 2007, ranking second on UCF thus far with 37 catches, for 412 yards. He also caught the game-winning score with 0:23 to play vs. Marshall. The Jacksonville native ranks seventh in UCF history in career receptions and 10th in career receiving yards.

DEFENSE NOTES NO RUNNING ALLOWED • UCF tops C-USA in rushing defense, and ranks third nationally behind just Texas, Alabama and TCU, yielding just 82.50 yards per game. UCF also led C-USA in rushing defense in 2008. In league history, only TCU (200203) has led C-USA in rushing defense in consecutive seasons. Against Marshall, UCF held Darius Marshall, then the second-leading rusher in the nation, to a season-low 80 yards on 28 carries (2.9 avg.). At No. 2 Texas, Colt McCoy had to throw the ball to kill the clock in the fourth quarter because the Longhorn rushing attack was going nowhere. Held to just 67 yards in the game, it was Texas’ lowest rushing total for a home non-conference game since Arkansas held UT to 62 in 2003. “We just decided to quit running it,” Mack Brown said of Colt McCoy’s 42 attempts in the game. UCF followed that up by holding No. 13/12 Houston to 46 yards on the ground, its lowest showing in two years. Then came the Senior Day performance of a lifetime as UCF held Tulane to minus-30 yards rushing. UCF has held its opponent under 100 yards of rushing in eight out of 12 games this year.

CONTINUING TO BRING THE PRESSURE • UCF ranks fifth in the nation with 3.08 sacks per game. UCF also stands 11th in the nation in TFLs with 7.58 per game, continuing its lofty 2008 pace when UCF was third nationally. Both stats lead C-USA. A total of 19 diﬀerent Knights have at least half of a TFL and 11 have a sack. UCF has four players (Jarvis Geathers, Derrick Hallman, Cory Hogue and Bruce Miller) who have hit double digits in TFLs this year. UCF’s six sacks vs. Miami tied for the most yielded by UM since the 2005 FSU game.

IT’S MILLER’S TIME • Junior Bruce Miller is the C-USA Defensive Player of the Year. It is the first time that a Knight has ever received that honor and marks the fourth time in five years of C-USA play that UCF has claimed at least one major conference award. A defensive end who also has the brawn to line up in a three-technique when UCF goes to its nickel package, Miller leads the league in both sacks (12) and TFLs (16.5) this year. He is fifth nationally in sacks and tied for 18th in TFLs. Just a junior, his 26 career sacks already place him amongst C-USA’s all-time leaders as well. BRUCE IS LOOSE • Bruce Miller was named the C-USA Defensive Player of the Week twice this year. The first time was following the Marshall game (Nov. 1) in which he had three TFLs, 2.5 sacks, 10 total tackles, forced a fumble with 2:12 to play that set up UCF’s game-winning touchdown, had two pass pressures and broke up a pass. He got the award again after UCF beat UAB on Nov. 28. Miller had 2.5 tackles for loss and two sacks of the slippery Joe Webb on the day. He also broke up a pass. 2009 NCAA SACK LEADERS (PER GM.) 1.

SIMPLY THE BEST • In addition to having C-USA’s premier rushing defense at 82.50 yards per game, UCF leads the league in total defense (348.08 ypg) and scoring defense (20.67 ppg).

GREEN WAVE KEPT TO LOW TIDE • In its 49-0 shutout win over Tulane, UCF held the Green Wave to a CUSA record low 50 yards of total oﬀense, including minus-30 yards rushing. The 50 yards of total defense marked the fifth-best performance in the nation this decade against a FBS foe. TOP TOTAL DEFENSE THIS DECADE VS.

C-USA Defensive Player of the Year Bruce Miller pressured a pair of Heisman Trophy candidates this year in Colt McCoy and Case Keenum.

THE ST. PETERSBURG BOWL SUPER TROUP-ER • He may not have the biggest numbers of anyone on the defensive line but defensive tackle Torrell Troup has attracted a steady stream of salivating NFL scouts to Orlando this fall. A double-team eating nose guard who is nimble enough to create havoc by himself, Troup unselfishly allows those around him to rack up tremendous numbers. He has fair stats himself, making 32 stops on the year, with five TFLs and two sacks, four pass breaks and three hurries. He was named to the All-C-USA Second Team, the second year in a row in which he received that recognition. HURRICANE HOGUE • Cory Hogue earned First-Team All-Conference USA accolades in 2009 as he leads the team to date with 99 tackles and is third on the squad with 11.5 TFLs. Showing his versatility, he is also third on the squad with five pass break-ups. He is tied for fifth in C-USA in TFLs and 11th in total tackles. Hogue was an especially disruptive force against Miami on Oct. 17, recording 3.5 TFLs and two of UCF’s six sacks on the night. A CENTURY FOR CORY? • Cory Hogue’s first tackle of the St. Petersburg Bowl will be the milestone 100th of his senior season. It will also make him the first Knight linebacker to have a 100-tackle season since Antoine Poe stopped 111 opponents in 2003. Hogue is also all but assured of becoming the first Knight linebacker to lead the team in tackles since 2002 when Stanford Rhule had 127. JARVIS GATHERS SACKS • Jarvis Geathers is second to only Bruce Miller in C-USA with his 11 sacks and 13.5 TFLs. The 11 sacks tie for 10th nationally and his TFL total places him in a tie for 43rd position in America. Although he is not a starter and plays primarily as a pass rusher in nickel situations, Geathers’ truly remarkable sack-to-snap ratio earned him a spot on the All-C-USA First Team. He played a huge role in UCF’s come-from-behind win over Buﬀalo, recording three second-half sacks, forcing fumbles on two of those which were recovered by the Knights. One of the fumbles set up the game-tying field goal and the other eﬀectively ended the game with 0:26 left. HERE’S TO YOU MR. ROBINSON • True freshman Josh Robinson made his first career start on Sept. 12 at Southern Miss and came away leading the Knights with a total of 10 tackles, all of them solo. He has not looked back since. His C-USA-leading six interceptions this year tops all true freshmen nationally and eclipsed Joe Burnett ’s school freshman record of five. The six interceptions match the national high for all freshmen, including redshirts, and he stands tied for eighth nationally. Robinson is the only true freshman to rank in the top 100 in the nation in passes defended with 14. He has made six interceptions in UCF’s last eight games. Despite leading the league in interceptions he was only named to the All-Conference USA Second Team. He has also made 65 tackles this season.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES COVERING LIKE A BLANKET • UCF has proven quite adept at covering its punts and kickoffs thus far in 2009, consistently ranking in the top 10 in the nation for both units. Presently, UCF ranks ninth in the nation in kickoff return yardage against and seventh in punt return yardage against. UCF has yielded 967 yards on 53 kickoff returns against (18.25 avg.) this year. With punter Blake Clingan’s improved hang time, UCF foes have returned just 12 punts for 37 yards (3.08 avg.). FIFTEENTH IN THE NATION IN KICKOFF RETURNS • UCF is excelling in both phases of kickoffs as the Knights also rank 15th in the nation and second in C-USA with an average of 24.58 yards per kick return. Meanwhile, the Knights are a solid 28th in punt returns as well, averaging 12.00 yards per try. THREE RETURNS OVER 70 YARDS • By the season’s second week, UCF had three different players return a kickoff for at least 72 yards. Quincy McDuffie had a 95-yard touchdown against Samford, Jamar Newsome had an 89-yard run back at Southern Miss and Darin Baldwin had a 72-yard return against Samford. It marks the first time in UCF history that the Knights have had three separate players run a kickoff back at least 70 yards in the same season. Newsome’s has the dubious honor of being the longest non-scoring play in UCF history. McDUFFIE’S: I’M LOVIN IT • True freshman Quincy McDuffie had an auspicious debut for the Knights against Samford. The Orlando native ran a kickoff back 95 yards for a touchdown. It was the sixth-longest return in school history. Curiously, of UCF’s 12 all-time kickoff return touchdowns, six have been by freshmen. McDuffie’s was the first in a season-opener. He is averaging 23.42 yards per return on his true freshman season. A.J. IS A-OK • Wide receiver A.J. Guyton took over the punt return duties in midseason and averaged a steady 10.8 yards on his 13 returns. Fellow wide receiver Rocky Ross started the season as UCF’s punt returner, his first career action in that role, and he averaged 12.4 yards on his eight returns. True freshman Jonathan Davis has made the most of his time as UCF’s punt returner, averaging a team-high 15.2 yards on his four returns.

12 HALLMAN’S SUCCESSFUL SWITCH

• Derrick Hallman started for UCF in 2008 at linebacker but moved to safety to start the season as the Knights secondary would see four new starters. He would return to linebacker in mid-season and go on to receive honorable mention All-C-USA accolades after ranking second on the team with 79 tackles including 5.5 TFLs. NALL ALL-IN AGAIN • While several key members of the 2007 defense missed all or most of 2008, UCF was the happiest of all to welcome back the inspirational Darius Nall who missed last year while undergoing radiation treatments for cancer. Nall was a member of the 2007 C-USA All-Freshman Team and saw ample time this fall at DE in the team’s nickel package. Nall made 4.5 TFLs this season, including four sacks. He also had seven forced hurries, a pass break-up, and both forced and recovered a fumble.

An elite national track runner in high school, Quincy McDuﬃe has been an asset for UCF as a true freshman this year as a kick returner and WR.

THE ST. PETERSBURG BOWL

ACADEMIC NOTES

ALL-C-USA SELECTIONS

ROSS MAKES ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA • Rocky Ross was named to the ESPN The Magazine CoSIDA Academic All-America Second Team on Nov. 24. He is the second in school history, joining Keith Shologan (2007). Ross and Jordan Richards had been named to the All-District Team. Ross, who hopes to be a high school athletics director if a professional football career does not materialize, carries a 3.88 cumulative GPA. He earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and is pursuing a master’s in sports and fitness. Ross was also named to the Conference USA Football All-Academic Team, a squad comprised of the league’s best 11 student-athletes regardless of position as voted on by the C-USA football SIDs. Ross’ 3.88 GPA was the highest on the team. THE BRAIN BOWL? • According to The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, a nationallyrenouned arm of UCF’s DeVos Sport Business Management Program, the St. Petersburg Bowl will feature a matchup of two of the stronger academic teams in the country. Rutgers’ Academic Performance Rate (APR) is a 980 while UCF’s is a 960. That 970 average is the highest of any of the 34 bowl games nationwide this year, edging the 968 average score in both the Capital One Bowl (Penn State - 976 vs. LSU - 960) and the Brut Sun Bowl (Stanford - 984 vs. Oklahoma - 952). The St. Petersburg Bowl is one of just three games nationwide where both teams scored at least a 960 on their APR. It is joined in that regard by the afore-mentioned Capital One Bowl and the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl between Boise State (966) and TCU (962). SUMMER EXCELLENCE • Led by 13 Knights with a perfect 4.0, UCF earned a summer session GPA of 3.118, raising the overall team cumulative GPA to a 2.990. Both of those marks are the second-highest of the O’Leary era in terms of both semester GPA and cumulative GPA. A DIFFERENT KIND OF HELMET DECAL • A total of 69 UCF student-athletes have earned the right to wear “Scholar-Baller”helmet decals (pictured at right) this fall emblematic of having earned a 3.0 semester GPA or better during 2008-09. CAPS AND GOWNS FAMILIAR SIGHT • Seven Knights (Michael Greco, T.J. Harnden, Brett Hodges, Cory Hogue, Jordan Richards, Rocky Ross and Alex Thompson) had already received their bachelor’s degrees entering the season and spent the fall working on either a second bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree. That sum had UCF tied for 10th most in the nation. Not surprisingly with smart players, nine of the teams with at least seven graduates on its roster this fall will play in a bowl game this year while Notre Dame earned bowl eligibility but declined an invitation. MOST FBS ACTIVE PLAYERS WITH A BACHELOR’S DEGREE Alabama (12), Boston College (10), Virginia Tech (10), Miami (9), Penn State (9), Auburn (8), East Carolina (8), Notre Dame (8), Texas Tech (8), UCF (7), Texas A&M (7), UNLV (7). KNIGHTS STACK UP WELL AGAINST NCAA MEASURING STICK • The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) announcement by the NCAA gave the football team a mark of 960. That score tied LSU for 23rd in the nation. It also ranked ninth nationally amongst non-military public universities. UCF’s “First Year in College” graduation rate for 2009 also exceeds the national average.

UCF head coach George O’Leary is fond of the fact that every single one of the many Knights he has helped send on to the NFL who have stayed for all four years, has also earned his bachelor’s degree (pictured is Kamar Aiken).

ORLANDO, Fla. - Sophomore Brynn Harvey had two scores and senior Brett Hodges threw the game-winning touchdown in his first game as a Knight as UCF (1-0) held off visiting Samford (01) to post a 28-24 victory in its season opener at Bright House Networks Stadium. Harvey rushed 31 times for 111 yards, his second career 100-yard game, and added a two-point conversion reception. In his first game at UCF, Hodges finished the game 10-for-17 with 129 yards and the key fourth-quarter touchdown. With 10:53 left in the game, Hodges hit junior Jamar Newsome on a slant for a nine-yard touchdown, capping a short four-play, 32-yard drive and giving UCF a lead that the defense would make stand. A pair of big plays by senior Rocky Ross set up the touchdown. He returned a punt 39 yards to the Samford 32-yard line and then caught a 20-yard pass from Hodges on the game’s next play. Ross had a big game in his return from injury as the senior finished with a team-high 176 all-purpose yards. With the game tied at 7-7 coming out of halftime, true freshman Quincy McDuffie returned the second half’s opening kickoff 95 yards to give UCF a 13-7 lead. Two big plays by the visitors, a 67-yard touchdown reception and an interception return for a touchdown, gave Samford a 21-13 edge with 13:12 left in the third quarter. However, Harvey’s second touchdown of the contest was a oneyard plunge that ended an 11-play, 71-yard drive with 7:40 left in the third quarter. Hodges found him with a pass on the two-point conversion to tie the game at 21-21. UCF held the Samford rushing attack to just 78 yards on 30 carries, an average of just 2.6 yards per rush. In the first half, the Bulldogs dented the scoreboard first in the game with 10:23 remaining in the second quarter when Riley Hawkins hauled in a 29-yard pass in the back of the end zone from Dustin Taliaferro. UCF knotted the game at 7-7 with just 57 ticks left before halftime on a Harvey one-yard touchdown run. The score was set up by a 21-yard reception by junior Kamar Aiken just outside the goal line. Hodges went 3-for-4 for 37 yards on the drive.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Senior quarterback Brett Hodges went 15for-26 and threw for two touchdowns but was unable to help UCF erase an early 14-0 deficit as it fell in its Conference USA opener at Southern Miss, 26-19. Hodges finished with a career-high 158 yards in the air and no interceptions for the Knights (1-1, 0-1). A total of seven different players hauled in receptions for UCF against Southern Miss (2-0, 1-0), with senior Rocky Ross leading the way with five catches for 56 yards and a touchdown. Junior Kamar Aiken, meanwhile, pulled in four receptions, including a dazzling TD catch in the second quarter. Ball control was the story in the early minutes of the first quarter as UCF fumbled twice in its first three possessions. The second turnover gave Southern Miss the initial lead when sophomore quarterback Rob Calabrese coughed it up on his own 22-yard line and Martez Smith returned it to the house for a touchdown. Following a Knights’ punt, the Golden Eagles needed 1:39 to drive 44 yards and put it back in the endzone, capped off by an 18-yard strike from Austin Davis to Leroy Banks. Hodges then took over under center for UCF and helped the offense put together an 18-play drive using small gains to wear down the defense. Only one of those plays was over 10 yards - a 20-yard reception by Aiken that put the Black and Gold at USM’s 9-yard line. But that’s where it would stall, and sophomore Nick Cattoi booted a 28-yard field goal with 11:20 remaining in the second quarter to make it 14-3. Southern Miss would add a field goal of its own on its next possession, but the Knights would strike again. Kick-started by a 19-yard toss to Aiken, Hodges would later find junior Brian Watters on a 20-yard gain to get into Golden Eagle territory. One play later and Hodges connected with Ross for 29 yards. Eventually on third down and the ball resting on the USM-4, the UCF quarterback pump-faked and placed it perfectly in the back of the endzone for a leaping Aiken, who just got his foot in to cut the deficit to 17-10. While UCF hoped to keep it a one-possession game going into halftime, Southern Miss took it all the way from its own-17 to the UCF19 in the final minute, setting up Justin Estes’ 36-yard field goal. Now trailing 20-10 and with the end of the third quarter approaching, USM’s Freddie Parham mishandled a UCF punt and junior Reggie Weams was there to fall on it on the USM-48. Six plays later and Cattoi converted his longest-career field goal, a 50-yarder that put the score at 20-13 with 12:18 left in the fourth quarter. It was the eighth-longest FG in UCF history. Midway through the fourth, the Golden Eagles put the game away with a nine-play drive that culminated in a Damion Fletcher 5-yard touchdown run. Even though junior Jamar Newsome returned the ensuing kickoff 89 yards and Hodges hooked up with Ross on a five-yard touchdown pass to the back of the endzone, the Knights could not recover the onside kick with just over a minute showing on the clock.

ORLANDO, Fla. - If you buy into the theory that one half can turn around a season, UCF delivered the kind of spectacular football over the final 30 minutes that could very well alter the course ahead. Trailing by 10 after a somewhat listless first half on both sides of the ball, UCF responded in a big way by scoring all of the game’s 16 second-half points and beat Buffalo 23-17 at Bright House Networks Stadium. Led by steady quarterback Brett Hodges, UCF’s offense converted on third down time and again and mounted four scoring drives in the second half. And UCF’s defense forced three fumbles and got a pivotal interception from safety Derrick Hallman - the Knights’ first pick of the season - all after halftime. UCF (2-1) rallied from a double-digit deficit for the first time since 2005, a 12-point come-from-behind victory against Rice. And the Knights left the game feeling somewhat reborn following a secondhalf performance that turned a possible loss into a thrilling victory. Tailback Brynn Harvey ran for 98 yards and two scores, his second multi-touchdown game of the season. And five receivers caught passes, led by blossoming junior Jamar Newsome, who had six catches. Kamar Aiken had 53 yards receiving, including a clutch over-the-shoulder catch for 39 yards on a third down play in the third quarter. Hodges saved the Knights with a flawless second half. He repeatedly kept plays alive by shuffling in the pocket, and he burned an unsuspecting Buffalo defense with 13 carries for 71 yards. His perfect 10-of-10 passing in the second half allowed him to complete 15 of 20 passes for 141 yards, but it was his running out of the ``wildcat’’ formation that most were impressed with. Picking up where Hodges left off, UCF’s defense did the rest. Senior defensive end Jarvis Geathers recorded three sacks and forced two fumbles. Buffalo’s final two drives were stopped by Geathers’ sack/ forced fumble plays - loose balls that were recovered by Darius Nall and Torrell Troup. Hallman, who had been critical of his play through the first two games, made a game-saving interception on a fourth-and-eight play with 3 minutes remaining. His interception was UCF’s first of the season and fulfilled a promise he had made to his teammates earlier in the week. The 1958 University at Buffalo team that refused a bid to the Tangerine Bowl when it was asked by Orlando leaders to not include its two African-American players was honored at halftime. Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty spearheaded the movement to honor the team 51 years later with a trip to Orlando, securing sponsorships so that 34 of the 41 living players, coaches and staff could attend the game. Gerry Gergley, a 2003 UCF Hall of Fame inductee and a halfback on the ‘58 Buffalo team, was among the players honored.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Trailing 19-7 with just over 60 seconds remaining, UCF cut it to 19-14 and recovered the ensuing on-side kick, but East Carolina intercepted a Brett Hodges pass at midfield to seal the Pirates’ Conference USA victory at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The loss dropped the Knights’ record to 2-2 for the season and 0-2 in league play. A.J. Guyton finished the day vs. ECU (2-2, 1-0) by setting careerhighs with nine receptions and 119 yards. Hodges also posted personal-bests with 21 completions on 34 attempts and 266 passing yards. On the ground, Brynn Harvey amassed 71 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. With 266 yards in the air, UCF racked up its most passing yards since Nov. 24, 2007, vs. UTEP (267 yards), and its 336 yards of total offense were a season-high. Led by Derrick Hallman’s 13 tackles, the Knights’ defense forced three fumbles, and Lawrence Young hauled in his first interception of the season. ECU appeared as though it would secure the early lead on its first drive of the game, only to witness UCF linebacker Jordan Richards strip running back Jon Williams inside the Knights’ 10-yard line and Young pounce on the loose ball. When Hodges and the offense returned to the field, the senior quarterback completed an 11-yard pass to Harvey on a short third-down play to get to the UCF-28. After a 13-yard reception by Guyton, Hodges found Kamar Aiken on a 40-yard deep ball down the left side of the field. One play later and Harvey scampered for a 19-yard touchdown, giving the Black and Gold a 7-0 advantage. The Pirates got back into the red zone on their next possession, but the UCF defense held them to just a 20-yard field goal by Ben Hartman. However, ECU eventually got into the endzone in the opening minutes of the second quarter, putting together a nineplay, 59-yard drive capped by a 25-yard run from Dwayne Harris. UCF came close to at least tying it up before halftime. Nick Cattoi saw a 26-yard field goal attempt blocked with 7:28 remaining, while a Knights’ drive stalled at the ECU-4 when Jay Ross intercepted Hodges a couple of minutes later. Neither team could gain momentum in the third quarter, but Hartman would add a 19-yard field goal just before the fourth to bring ECU’s lead to 13-7. After Cattoi missed on a 45-yard boot with 13:35 showing on the clock, the Pirates went 72 yards on 15 plays, including a pair of long third-down conversions, setting up a three-yard strike from Pat Pinkney to Harris. Although East Carolina’s two-point conversion failed, it still led 19-7. The Knights would later take over with under 2:30 to play, and Hodges worked quickly, going 5-for-5 and taking UCF down the field in just 1:17. Rocky Ross, Corey Rabazinski and Guyton all had receptions during that stretch, but it was Aiken who hauled in the 10-yard touchdown pass. While the Knights successfully recovered the onside kick, Van Eskridge picked off Hodges on the next play to end the UCF threat.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Just minutes after UCF had just completed its third come-from-behind victory of the season at Bright House Networks Stadium, jubilant Knights players huddled around coach George O’Leary and chanted `Òne more step!” in unison. Following a frustrating loss at East Carolina where the Knights played well but sabotaged the effort with mistakes, UCF took the necessary steps for a runaway 32-14 defeat of Memphis before 40,408 fans. UCF (3-2 overall and 1-2 in Conference USA play) rallied this time by finishing drives offensively, pressuring the quarterback, forcing turnovers and eliminating the mistakes. The theme in practice all week was to take `Òne more step,’’ a phrase that had both literal and physical meanings. UCF took some big steps offensively, getting two second-half touchdown passes from senior quarterback Brett Hodges and a career-rushing day from sophomore tailback Brynn Harvey. The play of Hodges and Harvey, combined with some stellar line play, allowed UCF’s offense to roll up a whopping 475 yards, 28 first downs and 39 minutes of time of possession. The dominant second-half performance sent UCF into its bye week with some feel-good momentum. And the third consecutive home victory gave the Knights some confidence before hosting in-state foe Miami on Oct. 17. Memphis (1-4, 0-2) led 14-9 late in the third quarter when senior quarterback Will Hudgens replaced starter Tyler Bass and hit DajLeon Farr for an 11-yard touchdown pass. But Hodges responded with quite possibly the most important drive of the season for the Knights. He capped the 92-yard drive - the longest of the season - by hitting Kay for a 7-yard score on the final play of the third quarter to put UCF up 15-14. Hodges, who passed for 214 yards and wasn’t sacked, found Jamar Newsome for a 22-yard score with 7:28 to play to put UCF up 22-14. Hodges said he’s pleased that UCF seems to be a stronger team in the second half of games, but he’s still waiting for the day when the team puts four quarters together. Harvey did the rest of the work, carrying the ball 42 times for 219 yards - both career highs. It was the fourth-highest total of carries in a game in school history and the sixth-best total for rushing yards. His 25-yard touchdown sprint with 41 seconds remaining sealed the victory for the Knights. Factor in Nick Cattoi’s four field goals - tying another school record and a UCF defense that garnered three sacks and two interceptions and it was just the kind of complete victory that the Knights needed. By finally putting it all together, they indeed took `òne more step.’’

ORLANDO, Fla. - By the end of a blustery night, a record crowd was mostly gone and Bright House Networks Stadium was half empty rather than rocking in celebration. On this night, there would be no defining, landmark victory for UCF and instead just the frustration of having missed out on too many opportunities. When UCF failed to convert from the 2-yard line late in the third quarter when it trailed by just 10 points, its chances of defeating No. 9 Miami seemed to wither away. Ultimately a 27-7 loss to the rival Hurricanes left the Knights shaking their heads in frustration and left a crowd of 48,453 numb from something other than the windy conditions. Hoping to take down the reborn, rebuilt Hurricanes and establish themselves among the Sunshine State’s Famed Big Three, UCF failed to produce an error-free performance. Their fatal flaw once again - as it has been much of the season - was an inability to get points after moving into scoring position. UCF (3-3) got no points after driving to the 15-yard line on the first possession of the game. And the three-play possession from the 2 - when Brynn Harvey was dropped for a four-yard loss on first down and Hodges was intercepted after being blindsided - proved crippling for the Knights. Get 10, 14 or even six points out of those two possessions and it certainly could have been a diﬀerent game for UCF. Miami, clearly back among the powers now after navigating its way through one of the toughest schedules in the country, improved to 5-1. The Hurricanes got 293 yards from Jacory Harris and 363 yards of total oﬀense. UCF’s defense kept the Knights in the game by relentlessly pressuring Harris all game. UCF recorded six sacks, the most in a game since last season against East Carolina. Cory Hogue had two sacks, while Darius Nall, Bruce Miller, David Williams and Jarvis Geathers each dropped Harris once. UCF electrified the largest crowd ever at Bright House Networks Stadium in the third quarter when they got within 17-7. Hodges hit on passes for 15, 41 and nine yards before finding Rocky Ross on an 8-yard slant pass for a touchdown. Just minutes later UCF seemed poised to get even closer to putting a major scare into the `Canes. A high punt snap gave UCF the ball at the 2-yard line after an illegal kicking penalty. But UCF went backwards on an option play - a call that O’Leary said he himself wondered about. The series that again gave UCF no points was a turning point in the game. Had UCF been able to solve its red-zone woes Saturday night, an upset might have been possible. Instead, UCF was once again frustratingly left with what-if scenarios.

HOUSTON, Texas - From the first snap of the game, UCF was in control and it never let up in a 49-7 win at Rice in Houston, Texas. The Knights (4-3, 2-2 Conference USA) won their 50th road game in program history as they scored their most points on the road since collecting 64 at Louisiana Tech on Sept. 5, 1998. Following the opening kickoff, Brett Hodges found A.J. Guyton on a 76-yard touchdown reception to give the Black and Gold a quick 7-0 lead against the Owls (0-8, 0-4). It was the longest TD catch since Doug Gabriel’s 80-yard scoring strike at Arizona State Sept. 7, 2002. Hodges went on to finish his outing 8-for-13 with 145 yards. Rob Calabrese also saw time under center, going 3-for-4 with 71 yards and two touchdowns. Guyton led the receivers with three receptions for 103 yards, and he also threw for a TD when he found Kamar Aiken on a 36-yarder in the second quarter. The most lopsided road win in UCF’s 31-year football history, the Knights built on its 7-0 advantage but this time put together a 14play drive capped off by a one-yard run from Hodges to make it 14-0. Only 1:27 later and UCF completed its first quarter scoring on a 27-yard scamper from Ronnie Weaver. Guyton’s touchdown pass to Aiken late in the second quarter provided the Knights with their 28-0 halftime lead, and it would keep up the offensive pressure in the third. Following Josh Robinson’s 24-yard interception return, Calabrese entered and hooked up with Jamar Newsome on a 52-yard touchdown pass for the 42-0 cushion. Rice may have ruined the shutout bid with 11:03 left in the fourth by way of a one-yard run from Charles Ross, but Calabrese came right back and connected with Ricky Kay on a 13-yard TD pass for the final 49-7 margin. On the defensive side of the ball, UCF notched five sacks and forced five fumbles, recovering three of them. In all, UCF outgained Rice 465 to 282 in total offensive yards.

ORLANDO, Fla. - With UCF’s players and coaches joyously celebrating and Bright House Networks Stadium throbbing with raw emotion, the Knights finally had their signature moment and the kind of defining victory that could ultimately turn this season into a special one. When UCF wiped out a 13-point deficit with two fourth-quarter touchdowns - the final one with 23 seconds to play - the Knights improbably defeated Marshall 21-20 to capture the kind of victory that it has desperately sought all season. It might sound cliché, but UCF won only because it continued to fight on both sides of the ball until the final horn. The Knights got a game-saving strip of the football from standout defensive end Bruce Miller with 2:12 to play, a moment that set up UCF’s winning score. Gritty senior quarterback Brett Hodges then found Rocky Ross for a one-yard score to tie the game with 23 seconds to play. Nick Cattoi’s point-after boot provided the game-winning point and set off an eruption of emotion from the 35,676 inside the stadium. The night looked like it would be another forgettable one, much like the close loss to the University of Miami two weeks earlier, when Hodges’ fourth-down pass fell incomplete with 2:40 to play with the Knights down 20-14. But two plays later, Miller made the play of his collegiate career. Marshall quarterback Brian Anderson had the ball locked away with two hands, but Miller was able to rip it from his grasp. Freshman defensive back Josh Robinson, who had his third interception of the season earlier in the game, recovered the loose ball to give UCF one more shot. And UCF was able to get it in the end zone largely because of a 19-yard strike from Hodges to Kamar Aiken that got the Knights down to the one-yard line with 26 seconds to play. From there, Hodges faked the ball to Brynn Harvey and found Ross open in the end zone for the tying score. UCF was behind the field-position battle most of the first half, and as it turned out, that cost the Knights dearly. UCF mustered just two first downs on its first four possessions. That allowed Marshall to either start or drive into UCF territory five times in the first half. The Herd led 17-7 at the break. Trailing 7-0 early in the second quarter after a shaky start offensively, UCF grabbed some momentum and got back in the game. Hodges had completions of 15 and 14 yards and a Jonathan Davis 15-yard sprint around right end put UCF in scoring position. And UCF rewarded O’Leary’s decision to go for it on fourth-and-one when Hodges hit Kamar Aiken for a four-yard score. Aiken wisely cut the corner route short, coming back to the ball for his fourth TD catch of the season and the 10th of his career. As has been the case all season, UCF suffered a staggering moment in the red zone. Nick Cattoi’s field goal try from 48 yards was tipped at the line and Marshall’s Ashton Hall fielded the kick at the fiveyard line. He returned it 68 yards, taking the wind out of UCF’s sails. Five plays later, Darius Marshall scooted around left end for a threeyard touchdown that put the Thundering Herd up 17-7 at the half.

AUSTIN, Texas - For nearly three quarters Saturday, the UCF defense contained No. 2 Texas’ offense. Despite a valiant effort from the Knights, Texas used a score late in the third quarter and a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns to pull away from UCF and post a 35-3 win at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Texas led just 14-3 at halftime, and did not put the game out of reach until the 3:11 mark of the third quarter when Colt McCoy found James Kirkendoll for a 14-yard touchdown reception. UCF was playing without starting quarterback Brett Hodges and starting tailback Brynn Harvey. Both sat out the game due to injury. Starting in place of Hodges, Rob Calabrese guided the UCF offense to several promising drives, but the Knights were unable to find the end zone. UCF’s lone score came three minutes into the game when Nick Cattoi hit a field goal to give the team a 3-0 edge. Calabrese finished the game 10-of-19 for 76 yards. Filling in for Harvey, Jonathan Davis had 22 carries for 71 yards. Cody Johnson had two rushing touchdowns in the first half for the Longhorns. Texas appeared to be heading for another score towards the end of the second quarter, but Josh Robinson picked off McCoy at the UCF 14 to halt the drive. UCF and the Longhorns were meeting for the second time. In 2007, Texas escaped with a 35-32 win in the inaugural game at Bright House Networks Stadium. Trailing 21-3 early in the fourth quarter, the Knights appeared to stop Johnson in the end zone for a safety. The play was reviewed, and the ball was placed on the Texas one. Three plays later, McCoy found Jordan Shipley for an 88-yard touchdown pass. Texas totaled 470 yards through the air, and just 67 on the ground. McCoy completed 33-of-42 attempts in the winning effort. Cory Hogue paced the Knights with 12 total tackles.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Drenched in a mixture of sweat from a long, hot afternoon and ice water from a joyous locker room celebration, UCF defensive end Bruce Miller recounted a story from the night before when the Knights were shown inspirational footage from legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. The video montage of Ali showed him taking one punch after another only to answer the bell each time and come back to knock out an opponent. Then, after UCF’s players were worked into a frenzy, they were told how the Ali link would be a fitting metaphor for the showdown against No. 12 Houston at Bright House Networks Stadium. ``Like Ali, we took some punches and we took them early and we still kept fighting back,’’ Miller said after UCF’s thrilling 37-32 defeat of Houston. ``That was the moral of the story today, fighting back.’’ UCF battled back from 10-0 and 17-3 deficits and trailed at the half for the ninth time in 10 games, but it still had a good enough of a mixture of opportunistic offense and gritty defense to pull off a bit of history. The Knights (6-4 overall, 4-2 in Conference USA play) beat a ranked Football Bowl Subdivision team for the first time, a span of 23 games. It was also the first victory against a ranked team in 10 tries in George O’Leary’s six seasons at UCF. A UCF defense that forced three turnovers and an offense that controlled the ball almost twice as much as Houston’s potent offense (39.5 minutes to 20.5 minutes) helped the Knights bring an end to Case Keenum’s bid for the Heisman. The junior quarterback entered the game on pace to break the NCAA record for passing yards in a season, but managed only 377 yards. He was picked off once, sacked twice and forced to hurry many of his 56 attempts because of UCF’s swarming pressure. Keenum torched UCF for a 51-yard touchdown and 179 pass yards in the first quarter, but the Knights refused to wilt. Down 17-10 at the half, UCF responded with its most important stretch of football this season. UCF was no stranger to being behind, having trailed in every home game this season and in every game except the Rice rout. UCF strung together scoring drives of 51 yards and 85 yards to spring to a 23-17 lead. Brynn Harvey’s 41-yard sprint, one of his three TD runs on the day, was a thing of beauty as he hit the line at full speed and never broke stride as he crossed the goal line. And when UCF finished with a flourish, getting a 24-touchdown pass from Hodges to freshman Quincy McDuffie and a seven-yard plunge from Harvey, the Knights led 37-20 and the road was paved for one of the biggest wins in school history. Harvey, who rested a sore ankle last week against Texas, looked fresh on Saturday as he ran for 139 yards. UCF had to survive two late touchdown passes from Keenum and two onside kicks, but when the game was complete UCF finally had a big win and the crowd of 36,776 pulsated with emotion.

ORLANDO, Fla. - This is how shockingly far UCF has progressed in a matter of one calendar year: A Knights team that limped to the finish line last November and was embarrassingly shut out in their finale has transformed now into a team that is doing the shutting out of foes and running up records in the process. UCF’s light years of growth were clearly evident again as it repeatedly gashed Tulane with numerous big plays and the defense delivered another dominating performance in an easy, breezy 49-0 rout at Bright House Networks Stadium. It proved to be the largest shutout victory ever in Conference USA play, beating the previous mark of 33-0 by Southern Miss against Houston in 1997. It should be pointed out here that UCF was shutout 15-0 by UAB last November, showing just how much the Knights have progressed. The lopsided numbers on both sides of the ball were tremendously gaudy for a 7-4 UCF team that is playing as well as any Knights squad since the 2007 edition won the Conference USA title. If the game against 3-8 Tulane were a fight, officials would have stepped in and stopped it. To wit: ---- UCF held Tulane to a minus-30 yards rushing, making it the second best performance by any defense in the nation this season. UCF’s defensive line was in the backfield almost more than Tulane quarterback Ryan Griffin, registering three sacks and eight tackles for loss. ---- UCF held the Green Wave to just 50 total yards on 51 plays. It’s the fewest total yards a C-USA team has ever allowed in a game since the league’s formation. And a UCF offense that embarrassingly ranked 119th in the country last season showed off its monumental strides by putting up some spectacular numbers of their own. Such as: ---- UCF’s 504 yards were the most since the 2007 championship team had 506 at UAB. ---- The 49-point margin of victory is tied for the eighth-best in school history and is the largest win since 2001. And including the 37-32 defeat of Houston last Saturday, the Knights have scored 86 points in the past two games. ---- Brynn Harvey ran for 129 yards and three touchdowns, giving him 268 yards and six touchdowns over his past two games. He became the first Knight back since Kevin Smith to run for at least 100 yards in back-to-back games. And his 50-yard score on the game’s fourth play matched the longest of his career. In a bizarre twist, UCF had drives of 14 plays and 13 plays in the first half in which it didn’t score, but later scored quick-strike touchdowns on drives of two, one and three plays. A resilient second-half team most of the season, UCF led at halftime for just the second time all season. The Knights rallied in the second half against Samford, Buffalo, Memphis, Marshall and Houston for wins, but no such comeback would be needed on this day.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - For anyone looking for quantitative proof as to just how markedly far the UCF football team has progressed over a year’s time, start with Nov. 29, 2008, and zip ahead to the Knights’ contest at historic Legion Field. It was almost a year ago exactly when the Knights limped off the field at Bright House Networks Stadium embarrassed by a 15-0 defeat to UAB. Now, move ahead to this season when UCF’s offense so easily moved the ball and gashed UAB that punter Blake Clingan might as well have had the day off. Whether it was through the air or on the ground, UCF did as it pleased with the ball - clearly a 180-degree turnaround from a year ago. And when the Knights hung on down the stretch with one defensive stop after another in a 34-27 defeat of UAB, many of UCF’s players marveled at the incredible jump from 4-8 to 8-4 over the past 364 days. UCF rolled up 435 yards of offense, scored on six of its first nine possessions and wasn’t forced to punt until just 8:33 remained in the game. They had to weather a furious fourth-quarter rally by UAB quarterback Joe Webb (459 total yards, four TDs), but UCF was not about to let a shaky finish overshadow an otherwise stellar afternoon. UCF sophomore tailback Brynn Harvey ran for 130 yards and a 25yard touchdown, allowing him to top 1,000 yards for the season. Hodges, the senior transfer from Wake Forest who rescued the UCF offense with his steady play, passed for 230 yards and two TDs. Clearly, the Knights have figured out the source of their slow starts to games. They trailed in nine of the first 10 games at the half, but jumped up 14-0 last week against Tulane and surged ahead 24-14 by the break on Saturday. But Webb single-handedly kept the Blazers within striking distance early on. He had a 23-yard TD strike to Patrick Hearn in the first quarter and he ripped off a spectacular 53-yard scramble for another score in the second quarter. Webb, who has accounted for more than 70 percent of UAB’s offense on the season, had 188 of the Blazers 226 yards in the first half. UCF didn’t punt in the first half and scored on four of its first six possessions, gashing UAB both with Hodges’ accurate passing and Harvey’s hard running between the tackles. Hodges hit on 12 of his first 16 passes and had 129 yards by the time the game was just 17 minutes old. And Harvey, who seems to be picking up steam as the season has progressed, topped the 1,000-yard mark for the season early in the second period with an 18-yard scamper off left end. Hodges had touchdown passes of 12 yards (to Kamar Aiken) and five yards (to fullback Billy Giovanetti) and threw for 188 yards against the nation’s 120th ranked pass defense in the first half. UCF missed two other chances to grow its lead when Hodges uncharacteristically threw interceptions at the 11 and 3-yard line. He tried forcing a pass in on the first error and was hit from behind on the second one. It was Hodges’ first multi-interception games since Sept. 26 when he had a dismal four-interception day at East Carolina.

THE ST. PETERSBURG BOWL

BRIGHT HOUSE NETWORKS STADIUM ONE OF THE NATION’S NEWEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL STADIUMS The crown jewel in UCF’s impressive athletics complex, Bright House Networks Stadium opened in 2007. The 45,323-seat on-campus facility gives the Knights one of the top venues in the southeast. After spending their previous 28 seasons at the Florida Citrus Bowl in downtown Orlando, the Knights made their debut at Bright House Networks Stadium on Sept. 15, 2007, facing national power Texas. A capacity crowd was on hand for the game, which was televised nationally on ESPN2. In its inaugural campaign at the stadium, UCF capped the season with six-straight wins at home, including a 44-25 victory over Tulsa in the Conference USA Championship Game. UCF eventually put together a seven-game home winning streak which tied for the eighth longest in the nation. The Knights outscored their opponents 281-120 over that stretch. In 2009, they set a stadium record when 48,453 fans entered the gates to see the Black and Gold take on Miami Oct. 17, and the Knights finished the year 6-1 at home.

LARGEST CROWDS IN UCF HISTORY The first 10 home games at Bright House Networks Stadium resulted in seven of the top 10 alltime home attendance figures in school history. Four of the 10 games were sellouts, which were the first in school history. Largest Home Crowds in UCF History Opponent (Year) Attendance 1. Tulsa (2005) 51,978 2. Virginia Tech (2000) 50,220 3.

HEAD COACH

GEORGE O’ O’LEARY

SIXTH YEAR AT UCF

In his six 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, a conference championship 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. 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 FBS 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

for new facilities, toured the state to gain 52 lobbied 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 Football Bowl Subdivision level. Nationally, only 19 teams won at least 10 contests during the year. 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 be-

came the only rusher in the state of Florida and the 12th all-time in the NCAA FBS to eclipse the 2,000year 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. 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. Both Shologan and defensive back Sha’reff Rashad were selected to the C-USA Football All-Academic Team. 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.

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.

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.

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 ST. PETERSBURG BOWL 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. Six Knights who played under O’Leary have been selected in the NFL Draft. 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.

10 3 MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE

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 ree games in six seasons. As the Bulldogs did in big wins over Auburn, Kentucky and Alabama this his season, they concentrated on the running game - both on offense and defense. Smith mith found the going difficult in the second half and finished with an average of 3.4 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 ineffectivee much of the game.

They fought hard and didn’t ball over. That usually means you’re going to come up with a close win like that.” Mississippi State finished with 199 total yards and Blake McAdams tied the Liberty h big plays Bowl record with 11 punts. But the Bulldogs came up with just enough h 5:47 left. after Keith Fitzhugh picked off Israel’s pass at the Mississippi State 41 with Carroll, pulled the series before, returned and responded with two rushes for 17 yards and two completions for 15 yards.
