2010 C-USA Champions2010 C-USA Champions


Team Notes Team Notes most memorable seasons since the program’s incep-ti on in 1979.• While many of the seniors earned a redshirt in 2006, the 2007 campaign brought in true freshmen Kamar Aiken, Darin Baldwin, Justi n Boddie, Blake Clin-gan, 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 fi rst C-USA ti tle 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 ti es 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 vic-tories of any FBS school in the state of Florida.School Record1) UCF 10-32) Florida State 9-43) Miami 7-5 Florida 7-5 South Florida 7-56) Florida Internati onal 6-67) Florida Atlanti c 4-8

BOWLS TEAMS WITH A FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK• Of the 70 schools parti cipati ng in a bowl game this season, only eight have been starti ng 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 starti ng true fresh-men quarterbacks.• Meanwhile, UCF true freshman Jeff Godfrey and Nebraska redshirt freshman Taylor Marti nez 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 ti tle 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.School All-Time Regular Season C-USA Win Streaks1) Southern Miss 14 Games (1998-00)2) Southern Miss 13 Games (2002-04)3) UCF 11 Games (2009-10)

THE 61-14 VICTORY• The 47-point margin of victory at Tulane was UCF’s fi ft h-largest of the FBS era (since 1996), and the 12th-largest overall.• As the defense kept the Green Wave off the board, UCF’s off ense scored 96-unanswered points vs. Tu-lane dati ng back to 2006.• The 61 points rank as the 36th most in any FBS game this season.

GEORGE O’LEARY - Head coachOn the 2007 and 2010 C-USA ti tle teams...“Both teams have good players, but this team’s senior class did a great job not just on the fi eld, but off the fi eld.

O’LEARY’S TRUE FRESHMEN QUARTERBACKS• This season is not the fi rst ti me UCF head coach George O’Leary has put a true freshman quarter-back in the starti ng 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 starti ng quarterbacks:Player, School Year C-A-I-YDS-TD Joe Hamilton, G.T. 1996 108-188-13-1,342-7Rob Calabrese, UCF 2008 65-165-5-664-7Jeff Godfrey, UCF 2010 143-209-6-2,042-13

GETTING SIX ON THE GROUND• The Knights have rushed for 35 touchdowns in 13 games this year (by comparison the defense has al-lowed just nine). That is the third-most all-ti me.Season Games Rushing TDs1) 2007 14 412) 1990 14 363) 2010 13 35• With Ronnie Weaver’s 11 rushing touchdowns, Jeff Godfrey’s 10 and Latavius Murray’s 10, this year marks the fi rst ti me in school history that the Knights had three diff erent players rush for at least fi ve touch-downs in the same season.• UCF and Wisconsin are the only teams in the nati on 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 off ensive 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 fi rst 10 games combined.

SPREADING THE LOVE• A total of eight diff erent Knights have at least one receiving touchdown in 2010. It marks the third-straight year that eight Knights have posted one or more receiving TDs.• The last ti me UCF had more than eight student-athletes with at least one touchdown catch was 2002 (10).

THE 100-YARD PLATEAU• Senior wide receiver Jamar Newsome produced his fi rst-career 100-yard game at Houston, then followed it up with another 100-yard performance the next week vs. Southern Miss.• Newsome made it three 100-yard games in four out-ings with a 118-yard, two-touchdown day at Memphis.• The wideout currently ranks 10th all-ti me at UCF with 15.6 yards per recepti on in his career.

PRETTY VERSATILE• En route to being named the C-USA Championship Game MVP, running back Latavius Murray caught a fi ve-yard touchdown pass in the fi rst quarter vs. SMU then rushed for a 36-yard touchdown in the third quarter.• Murray became the fi rst Knight to have both a rush-ing and receiving touchdown in the same game since Kevin Smith vs. Tulsa Oct. 20, 2007.

THAT’S NOT A BAD START AT ALL• The 31 fi rst-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 Univer-sity on Nov. 16, 1991. • It ti ed 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.

HEY PUNTERS! STAY ON THE BENCH!• UCF’s off ensive producti on has forced the Knights to punt just 41 ti mes in 2010. That sum is the 13th lowest in the nati on this year.• The Knights did not punt once against East Carolina on Oct. 30, a fi rst for UCF since a 48-0 win over East-ern Illinois on Sept. 12, 1998.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DEFENSE• In the off ensive-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 off ense (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 Defense1 UCF 18.02) UTEP 25.43) SMU 26.44) Marshall 28.85) Southern Miss 29.4• In all, the Knights rank in the top three in C-USA in 10 diff erent defensive categories:Category UCF’s Rank in C-USAScoring Defense 1st (18.0)Rushing Defense 1st (110.4)Total Defense 1st (318.1)Passing Effi ciency Defense 1st (115.1)Opponents First Downs 1st (17.2)Sacks By T-1st (29)Pass Defense 2nd (207.7)Intercepti ons 3rd (15)Opponent Fourth Downs 3rd (47.4 percent)Turnover Margin 3rd (+4)

BRUUUUCE!• Not only setti ng the UCF sack record this year, but senior defensive end Bruce Miller also has climbed to fi ft h on the NCAA FBS record book with 34.0-ca-reer sacks (NCAA record started being kept in 2000).• C-USA coaches, which were forced to use double-teams routi nely 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 ti ed 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, fi nishing with 70 tackles and one intercepti on.• And as a sophomore in 2010, Ishmael currently leads the Knights with 82 tackles and also has two intercepti ons. • As a constant distracti on for opposing quarter-backs, Ishmael’s eff orts allowed him to be named to the All-C-USA First Team, becoming the fi rst 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 ti tle, 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 Okla-homa in the Big 12 Championship and Georgia Tech fell to Wake Forest, 9-6, in the ACC Championship.

TAKING THEM TO THE HOUSE• With fi ve this year, UCF has set a C-USA and school record for most intercepti on returns for a touch-down in a single season. The NCAA FBS record is seven by Tennessee in 1971.

• Senior defensive end Bruce Miller also has set the UCF individual mark with two returns for six points this season. • Meanwhile true freshman Jordan Ozeriti es grabbed a school record of his own with his 100-yard intercep-ti on return at Tulane, eclipsing Rick Hamilton’s 97-yard return vs. Western Illinois in 1992.• The 100-yard pick-six was the fi ft h ti me it happened in C-USA history.

AN EARLY PRESENCE• The defense has allowed just 27 fi rst-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 (fi rst quarter) by the 2001 defense (the all-ti me re-cord is seven in the fourth quarter by the 1979 de-fense when the Knights played just eight games).• Through 13 games, the defense has shutout an op-ponent 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 sopho-more cornerback Josh Robinson, who knocked down

THE RUN STOPS HERE• The Knights have allowed just nine rushing touch-downs this year, tying for ninth in the nati on.• This conti nues a trend from 2009 when UCF allowed just 12 rushing scores in 13 games.• If UCF can hold Georgia without a rushing touch-down in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, the Knights’ defense will ti e 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 Allowed1) 2010 13 9 1989 10 9 1981 10 93) 1980 9 11 1979 8 11

HALL MONITOR• Linebacker Derrick Hallman forced a combined three fumbles his fi rst three seasons as a Knight, and this year he has already topped that by forcing four fumbles in 2010, tying for the fi ft h-most in the nati on.• Hallman’s four forced fumbles are one shy of ty-ing the single-season high which has been set three ti mes.• And with seven for his career, Hallman ranks in a ti e for fourth on the UCF all-ti me list (record is 10 by Nakia Reddick from 1993-96).• Hallman also boasts 274 career tackles including 81 this year. With fi ve more tackles, he will ti e 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 (fi ve 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 sitti ng in fi ft h with 7.5 tackles for a loss.

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 oppo-nent 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 McDuffi e, who is one of only nine players in the nati on to run back two or more kickoff s for six points.• McDuffi e is ti ed 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, McDuffi e has three for his career which are one shy of the UCF record.

THE UNHERALDED BOOT• Reliable Blake Clingan enters his fi nal game in a Black and Gold uniform owning numerous punti ng records at UCF.• The senior is the career-leader with 245 punts and 9,767 yards (Charlie Pierce is second in both catego-ries at 173 and 7,111, respecti vely).• Clingan also stands at No. 6 with a 39.9 yards per punt average, and this year alone he is sixth in single-season history with a 41.8 average.

IT ALL STARTS WITH THE LONG SNAPPER• There are several reasons why Blake Clingan stands as UCF’s all-ti me 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 Hon-orable Menti on accolades, while he also earned a spot on the C-USA All-Freshman Team in 2008.

THEY CERTAINLY ADD UP• Junior placekicker Nick Catt oi has amassed 46 extra-points this year, which are the third-most in a single season. He needs one more to ti e Charlie Pierce (1994) for second, while Michael Torres holds the re-cord with 50 set in 2007.


UCF AND THE APR• When the Knights entered the AP Poll for the fi rst ti me Nov. 7, they were one of only six schools in the nati on 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 nati onally with a 972 APR. That score ranked seventh nati onally amongst non-military public universiti es 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 fi ve public Florida universi-ti es competi ng in bowl games and also the highest of C-USA’s six bowl game parti cipants.

AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL• In its annual compilati on of academic rankings, The Insti tute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES), a nati onally-renowned arm of UCF’s DeVos Sports Busi-ness 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 nati onally to feature two teams with at least a 960 APR while the game’s 970 APR average was the best in the nati on.

SUMMER EXCELLENCE• For the fourth-consecuti ve year, the UCF football team entered the season with a team cumulati ve 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 student-athletes earn a perfect 4.0 GPA during the 2010 sum-mer and 69 Knights earn at least a 3.0 GPA.

• A total of 69 UCF student-athletes are wearing a “Scholar-Baller” sti cker on the backs of their helmets this year emblemati c of having earned a 3.0 semester GPA or bett er 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 Tun-uufi Sauvao, Brian Watt ers 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• Starti ng middle linebacker Josh Linam has repre-sented UCF on a pair of presti gious academic teams this season.• The junior was voted onto the ESPN/CoSIDA Aca-demic 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 fi tness.• UCF has now had at least one player be selected to the academic all-district team in each of the last four seasons.

September 4, 2010 - Att endance: 34,373Bright House Networks Stadium (Orlando, Fla.)

ORLANDO, Fla. - Rob Calabrese looked like the calm, confi dent 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 fi rst 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 effi cient off ensively, totaling 472 yards and 27 fi rst downs. The Knights drove into South Dakota territory on all of their eight drives and didn’t punt for the fi rst ti me unti l 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 starti ng quarterback, but was lift ed aft er a shaky perfor-mance. 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 defi niti vely strengthened his hold on the starti ng quar-terback job by leading scoring drives of 75, 84, 45 and 80 yards in the fi rst half, allowing UCF to jump to a 24-7 lead. Calabrese batt led freshman phenom Jeff Godfrey in the spring and fall for the starti ng job, but left Saturday’s game as UCF’s unquesti oned leader of the off ense.

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-setti ng true freshman from Miami, played well in his three series in relief. He had an 11-yard completi on to Guyton on his fi rst collegiate pass. And in the fourth quarter, he found ti ght end Adam Nissley for a 21-yard gainer and hit Quincy McDuffi e for a six-yard score for his fi rst-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 off ense in the second half.

Calabrese played mistake-free football in the fi rst half, hitti ng 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 confi dence was never higher than early in the third period when Calabrese broke the pocket on a scrambled and fl att ened South Dakota cornerback Aaron Swift . Calabrese jumped to his feet and pumped his fi st as he was congratulated by his teammates.

All in all, Calabrese said the night couldn’t have gone much bet-ter 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.

September 11, 2010 - Att endance: 43,020Bright House Networks Stadium (Orlando, Fla.)

ORLANDO, Fla. - Of all of UCF’s concerns heading into Saturday night’s nonconference showdown against NC State, beating themselves with self-infl icted errors was seemingly the least of the worries for an experienced Knights team.

But ulti mately UCF’s miscues and penalti es led to a poor start and a devastati ng fi ft h turnover of the night at the 11-yard line ruined what had the potenti al to be a storybook comeback led by fresh-man phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey.

Godfrey nearly led UCF back from a 21-point defi cit with two daz-zling rushing touchdowns and seemed poised to take the Knights in for a tying score before a fi ft h 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 abiliti es of Godfrey, who entered the game in the third quarter in place of struggling starter Rob Calabrese. The Miami product fi nished 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 eff ort died with 51 seconds to play when Godfrey scrambled to his left and hit Quincy McDuffi e 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 intercepti ons - 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 matt ers worse with fi ve penalti es, another lost fumble and three sacks allowed.

Godfrey made a strong case for becoming UCF’s starti ng quar-terback by scrambling for touchdown runs of 6 yards and 1 yard. He routi nely made potenti ally disastrous plays positi ve ones with his quick feet and quick thinking. An NC State defense that kept UCF bott led up most of the night had litt le success even getti ng to Godfrey for contact during the Knights’ furious rally.

UCF’s defense played much bett er in the second half than it did in the fi rst half, setti ng the stage for the comeback bid. UCF’s defense allowed just fi ve fi rst downs and only 65 yards aft er halft ime and routi nely got the ball back into Godfrey’s hands with big stops.

UCF trailed 21-7 at the half following a frustrati ng fi rst two quarters to the game. NC State’s fi rst touchdown came following a ti pped-pass intercepti on, the second one on a blown pass coverage and a third one aft er a punt ricocheted off the left shin of Murray. NC State scored three plays aft er the punt snafu, converti ng a third-and-11 play from 21 yards out.

The Knights signs of life when Quincy McDuffi e returned a kickoff 93 yards for a score that cut the defi cit to 21-7. McDuffi e, a former 200-meter state track champion followed the block of Khymest Williams and ran away from NC State’s Dontae Johnson.

But in the end, there were too many mistakes to overcome to pull off what would have been a comeback for the ages.

Buffalo 0 3 7 0 - 10September 18, 2010 - Att endance: 14,312UB Stadium (Buff alo, N.Y.)

BUFFALO, N.Y. - It was the kind of poised and pulsati ng 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 directi ng a near comeback against NC State. But what Godfrey did on Saturday night in Buf-falo - calmly and coolly directi ng 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, con-verted 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 Buff alo 24-10.

Making the fi rst 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 completi ng 15-of-24 passes for 130 yards and he avoided pressure by scrambling for another 44 yards.

Godfrey’s steady play combined with another sti ngy defensive eff ort from UCF’s nati onally-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 stuff ed the run on a fourth-and-one play to end a Buff alo (1-2) drive.

A crowd of 14,312 at University at Buff alo Stadium saw UCF get a Bruce Miller intercepti on return for a touchdown and two touch-down 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 to-tal yards and just 209 pass yards in the fi rst two games, played well again, stuffi ng the Bulls repeatedly. Buff alo’s lone touchdown was aided by a questi onable pass interference call in the third quarter.

On the drive that proved to be the diff erence in the game, Godfrey had a dazzling 17-yard scramble to the right for a fi rst down. Later, he converted a quarterback sneak on a fourth and inches. Then, facing a third-and-nine from the 27, Godfrey bought ti me with his feet and hit Brian Watt ers 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 fi eld on their fi rst of-fensive possession, accounti ng for 49 of the 54 yards on a drive that ended in a Nick Catt oi 39-yard fi eld goal.

O’Leary made creati ng turnovers a point of emphasis aft er UCF failed to get a fumble or intercepti on in the fi rst two games. And Miller, UCF’s All-American candidate, responded to that request in the second quarter, stepping in front of a shuffl e pass and returning it 30 yards for a touchdown that put UCF up 10-3. Defensive end Darius Nall forced the poor pass, hitti ng Buff alo quarterback Jerry Davis with a big hit.

Kansas St. 0 0 3 14 - 17September 25, 2010 - Att endance: 50,586Bill Snyder Family Stadium (Manhatt an, Kan.)

MANHATTAN, Kan. - As dozens of U.S. Army cannons popped and smoke fi lled the air, UCF’s players trudged off the fi eld Saturday aft ernoon with the dejected feeling that they let a sure victory get away.

When quarterback Carson Coff man 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 aft ernoon at Bill Snyder Family Sta-dium. UCF (2-2) missed two fi eld goals and had to sett le 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 fi rst downs. Also, UCF limited K-State star Daniel Thomas, who entered the game as the nati on’s second-leading rusher, to just 76 yards.

UCF freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey struggled before the crowd of 50,586, completi ng just eight of 18 passes and was intercepted twice. He was picked off on the Knights’ fi nal off ensive play. Godfrey did have 99 yards on 17 carries, running mostly when the Knights spread out the defense with fi ve wideout sets.

UCF seemed poised to pull off the upset when Nick Catt oi booted a 27-yard fi eld 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 Coff man’s scoring run coming on a busted shuffl e pass that was designed for Thomas.

UCF missed two great scoring opportuniti es late in the second quarter and midway through the third period when it drove into Kansas State territory, but couldn’t convert fi eld goals. Nick Catt oi missed a 42-yarder in the second quarter and then badly pulled a 23-yarder aft er UCF had driven to the 6-yard line.

Kansas State’s fi rst eight drives produced just 67 yards, but the Wildcats got a 73-yard pass play to Tremaine Thompson. Corner-back Josh Robinson fought through a block on the play and made a touchdown-saving tackle - a play that became magnifi ed when Kansas State couldn’t move the ball and had to sett le for a fi eld goal that made it 7-3.

Catt oi redeemed himself early in the fourth quarter when he drilled a 31-yarder to put UCF up 10-3. But having to sett le for the fi eld goal was defl ati ng 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 ti e 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 fi rst-ever fumble recovery. As he was falling down, Ishmael ripped the ball from Thomas’ arms and corralled it himself. It was Thomas’ fi rst fumble in two seasons at K-State.

UCF dominated both sides of the ball in the fi rst half and led 7-0 at the break. Each team had three off ensive plays before the game was delayed for 1 hour, 26 minutes because of a nasty thunderstorm .

UCF demolished Kansas State in the fi rst quarter, outgaining the Wildcats, 100-3. Ronnie Weaver carried the ball on 10 of UCF’s fi rst 16 plays, gaining 60 yards and fi nished 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.

October 6, 2010 - Att endance: 40,281Bright House Networks Stadium (Orlando, Fla.)

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 nati onally-televised audi-ence provided by ESPN, UCF gave a resounding answer to those questi ons and showed itself to be potenti ally 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 Net-works 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 meeti ng spaces.

Rotati ng Godfrey and junior Rob Calabrese eff ecti vely at quarter-back, UCF’s off ense grinded out 399 yards and 23 fi rst downs in its fi nest 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 getti ng two big turn-overs 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 eff ects from the crushing 17-13 loss to Kansas State 10 days ago, putti ng together its best eff ort of the season on both sides of the ball. The Knights held a player’s only meeti ng in the days aft er the faltering against K-State, stressing to one another that there was sti ll 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 fi rst score since the 2008 season. Then, Davis - one of UCF’s most pleasant surprises this season at defensive tackle - returned an intercepti on 29 yards for the fi rst 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 signifi cant playing ti me since the second game of the season, played throughout, running for 40 yards and throwing the touchdown pass to Watt ers just before halft ime.

Already up 21-0 at the half, UCF eff ecti vely 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 fi rst touchdown of the game.

Marshall 0 7 7 0 - 14October 13, 2010 - Att endance: 23,601Joan C. Edwards Stadium (Hunti ngton, W.Va.)

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 opti ng for a ``white out’’ promoti on on Wednesday night.

As it turns out, Marshall’s white out was a wash out as UCF (4-2) once again fl exed its considerable muscles against its biggest rival in Conference USA.

Freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey ran for two touch-downs, Ronnie Weaver pounded out a career-best 150 yards and UCF’s nati onally ranked defense produced its fourth touchdown in the past four weeks as the Knights whipped Marshall 35-14 in rainy conditi ons.

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, oft en 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 fi nal two quarters. It also got a big defensive score when sophomore safety A.J. Bouye returned an intercepti on 42 yards for a touchdown that put UCF up 28-7.

Godfrey ran for a nine-yard touchdown in the fi rst half and added a fi ve-yard scramble score in the third quarter that put UCF com-fortably 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 fi rst downs, moving the ball almost at will throughout the game.

The only negati ve 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 aft er scoring UCF’s fi rst touchdown of the night.

And for a second ti me in three weeks, UCF had a game delayed by severe weather. Rain started falling just prior to kickoff , intensifi ed as the game conti nued and was stopped with 6:06 left in the fi rst half. Teams were in the locker room for an hour and then given 10 minutes to warm up once again. Because of the delay, halft ime 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 fi rst two quarters. The Knights got a good push from the of-fensive line, especially on the right side with guard Nick Pieschel, tackle Jah Reid and ti ght end Adam Nissley, and rushed for 120 fi rst-half yards.

UCF mixed the run with the pass beauti fully on the game’s fi rst possession, driving 79 yards in 12 plays for a score that put UCF up 7-0. The Knights converted fi ve fi rst downs on their opening possession, three ti mes coming through on third down. And Cala-brese fi nished off the drive by faking a handoff and darti ng 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 fi nest season in school history. And before Saturday, the only extent of their relati onship was Godfrey seeing all the pictures of Culpepper and hearing the stories about his legendary status.

UCF’s past and current star quarterbacks fi nally met Saturday aft er-noon, 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, slic-ing up the Rice defense with his legs and dicing the Owls through the air. He stuck a 59-yard post patt ern on the fi rst 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 gritt y eff ort from UCF’s nati on-ally 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 Ron-nie 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 fi rst downs and 229 yards - much of it coming against the second-string defense.

With his confi dence bubbling aft er 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 fi rst play.

O’Leary could see that in the way that Godfrey checked two plays at the line on Saturday, recognizing two Rice blitzes and getti ng the Knights into two quick-hit passes. Godfrey ran fi ve yards for UCF’s fi rst touchdown and later he scramble around to keep alive the play where he threw to Nissley for a score.

`Ì’m very comfortable now, I feel like I know what’s going on and I’m sti ll learning from (injured quarterback) Rob (Calabrese) even though he’s out,’’ Godfrey said. ``We’re doing it all together as an off ensive 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-ti me recruits will ulti mately follow him to UCF and make the Knights an elite program.

And at the end of Godfrey’s fi rst 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 letti ng out a big sigh. ̀ Ìf I do that, it would be prett y good for me.’’

ORLANDO, Fla. - Their fi rst victory in fi ve years against East Carolina fi nally secured, UCF linebacker Derrick Hallman pranced to the side-line to join his joyous teammates and begin an early celebrati on of a win many dubbed as one of the most important in school history.

When UCF proved unstoppable all day off ensively and the defense did just enough to contain East Carolina’s high-fl ying, pass-happy off ense, the Knights were able to emerge with a 49-35 victory that made Bright House Networks Stadium throb with raw emoti on and gave them a stranglehold on Conference USA’s East Division.

And in the eyes of UCF standouts Jah Reid, Brian Watt ers and Hallman, the resounding victory was especially important because it was the fi rst one for the senior class against an East Carolina program that had beaten the Knights four straight ti mes.

`Ì’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 unti l we had beaten them. It’s not a rivalry if they keep winning the games. But it just feels so good for us to fi nally 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 essenti ally puts the Knights two games ahead of East Carolina (5-3, 4-1) because of the head-to-head ti e-breaker.

Against the Pirates, UCF’s off ense put up 21 fi rst 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 off ensively that they did not punt. It’s the fi rst ti me 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, getti ng UCF out to a commanding 14-0 lead with two early touchdown passes and he ulti mately 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 nati on’s best off enses. And quarterback Dominique Davis, a Lakeland nati ve, kept the Pirates’ pulse beati ng all day with 310 passing yards and three touchdowns. Star wide out Dwayne Harris, who had given UCF fi ts in the past, caught nine passes for 146 yards and a touchdown.

Desperate to create more big plays down the fi eld, 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 fi rst 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 Watt ers for a 29-yard catch-and-run that put the Knights in positi on to go ahead 28-14 at the break.

UCF’s ground game was so dominant running behind guard Nick Pieschel, ti ght 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 3 7 14 9 - 33November 5, 2010 - Att endance: 32,008Robertson Stadium (Houston, Texas)

HOUSTON, Texas - For weeks, UCF head coach George O’Leary has insisted that the ti me was coming for the Knights to take more shots down the fi eld 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, ac-counted for three touchdowns and converted big third and fourth down plays again and again as UCF thrott led 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 fi nal minute as Houston tried driving for a tying score. But the Knights got a big pass break-up from starti ng cornerback Emery Allen to hang on for the win.

Playing before a nati onally 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 routi nely 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 off ense, picked up 26 fi rst downs and basically did as it pleased on a cold and windy night.

How dominant has UCF’s off ense 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 fi rst 11 drives on Friday, a week aft er scoring on seven of eight drives in which they didn’t down the ball to stop the clock.

With its fi ft h-straight win, UCF improved to 7-2 overall and 5-0 in Conference USA play, putti ng it fi rmly in control in the East Divi-sion. The Knights have now won 11-consecuti ve 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 effi cient passing day in school history, trailing only a Culpepper masterpiece in October of 1995 against Sanford. Eleven of his 15 completi ons 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 fi ve passes for 123 yards. Reserve tailback Latavius Murray ran for a score and kicker Nick Catt oi booted two fi eld goals for the Knights.

Houston scored two touchdowns just aft er halft ime to briefl y storm ahead 24-23, but UCF responded immediately behind their charismati c freshman leader. He ran for seven yards on a third down, passed for seven more yards on fourth down and remark-ably 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.

November 13, 2010 - Att endance: 40,358Bright House Networks Stadium (Orlando, Fla.)

ORLANDO, Fla. - Ranked for the fi rst ti me 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 nati on’s top-25 rankings came to a screeching, nightmarish halt when Southern Miss ripped off 31 consecuti ve points and upset the No. 25/23-ranked Knights 31-21.

For a UCF squad that had won 11-consecuti ve conference games over two years and fi ve straight this season, losing for the fi rst ti me in more than a month was shocking to the system if not downright stunning.

Facing its third consecuti ve no-huddle, hurry-up off ense 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 fi rst downs and 414 yards of off ense, but even more troubling was UCF’s inability to get key stops on third down. Southern Miss converted 11 of 16 ti mes 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 routi nely gashing South-ern Miss through the air and on the ground made the defeat even more shocking to the Knights and the 40,358 fans in att endance. Tailback Ronnie Weaver had 108 yards in his fi rst six carries and freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey ran for a touchdown and threw another one as UCF led by 14 points aft er just 9 minutes and 20 seconds of play.

But all of that positi ve momentum came crumbling down when Weaver ran for just four yards the rest of the game, Godfrey uncharacteristi cally threw two intercepti ons and a UCF defense that has been nati onally ranked most of the season couldn’t get stops. Southern Miss junior quarterback Austi n Davis riddled UCF’s secondary and linebackers for 264 yards and four touchdowns and he was sacked just once all day.

UCF’s off ense came into the game averaging 41.5 points a game against C-USA foes and the Knights had been so effi cient of late that they punted just twice in the previous eight quarters. But with litt le 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 ti mes and mostly hemmed in when trying to scramble for yardage, running for just six net yards. And Godfrey was briefl y 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 (fi ve catches, 100 yards) in the fourth quarter.

Trailing 17-14 at the half, UCF suff ered 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 corner-back Emery Allen for a 10-yard touchdown. What was parti cularly galling to the Knights was that Southern Miss converted on third down three ti mes - 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 fi eld goal sailed wide left , the Knights were left to try and stomach a loss that robbed them of their un-beaten status in conference play and will almost certainly knock them out of the top 25 aft er a one-week stay.

Tulane 0 14 0 0 - 14November 20, 2010 - Att endance: 19,069Louisiana Superdome (New Orleans, La.)

NEW ORLEANS, La. - Bubbling with anger for a week over losing at home seven days ago, UCF took out its pent-up frustrati on - from the fi rst play of the game to the last one - on a Tulane team that was helpless at stopping a Knights’ squad clearly bent on redeem-ing themselves.

When UCF’s overwhelming 31-point fi rst quarter and its 61-14 beatdown of Tulane was complete inside the massive Louisiana Superdome, there was fi nally a sense of normalcy among a UCF program that has run roughshod over the Conference USA competi -ti on 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 fi rst quarter and ti ed 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 moti vati on for a Knights team that couldn’t get to Saturday’s opening kickoff soon enough. And once the game started, UCF unleashed a fi rst-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 Ozeriti es returning an intercepti on 100 yards for a touchdown on the game’s fi nal play.

Speedy sophomore Quincy McDuffi e set the tone for the aft ernoon 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 fi rst 3:06. UCF scored on the kickoff and four of its fi ve off ensive possessions in the fi rst quarter and didn’t need more than four plays for any of those possessions.

By the ti me freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey hit Kamar Aiken for the longest off ensive play of the season - a 60-yard touch-down pass - the Knights were up 38-0 and almost 12 minutes sti ll remained in the fi rst half.

UCF’s defense, which had struggled against spread off enses the past three weeks, forced three turnovers and surrendered only two second-quarter touchdowns aft er the outcome was decided. Much to the delight of the approximately 1,000 UCF fans in att endance, the Knights led 38-14 at the half.

Latavius Murray, a redshirt sophomore, got his fi rst-ever start on Saturday and delivered with the fi rst 100-yard rushing day of his collegiate career. He had a 46-yard touchdown run late in the fi rst quarter and needed just nine carries to top 100 yards. The talented back, who is fully recovered from knee surgery, fi nished 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 fi rst downs, 143 total yards, three long touchdowns, a 35-yard fi eld goal by Nick Catt oi and McDuffi e’s spectacular kickoff return in the fi rst 15 minutes.

Memphis 7 0 3 7 - 17November 27, 2010 - Att endance: 14,992Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium (Memphis, Tenn.)

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - For a game that lacked much drama, not to menti on a lot of sharpness on either side of the football for long stretches, UCF sti ll allowed itself to dream big on this sunny Sat-urday at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.

Having already locked up a spot in next week’s Conference USA ti tle game, UCF went out in the regular-season fi nale and took care of business against Memphis and conti nued 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 eff orts from wide out Jamar New-some 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 Confer-ence USA play) will head into Saturday’s Conference USA ti tle game against SMU (7-5 and 6-2) with plenty of positi ve 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 ti ed for the second-most in school history, trailing only the 10 in 1990 and 2007. And on Saturday, UCF won its school-record fi ft h road game of the season. The Knights had never won more than four ti mes away from Orlando before this season.

Godfrey, who breathed life into UCF’s off ense with his dazzling play-making skills on the ground and through the air, closed his fi rst regular season as a Knight by completi ng 14-of-17 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns. With a 245.79 effi ciency rati ng, it is his third game this season with a rati ng of 232 or bett er.

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 fi rst touchdown catch extended UCF’s streak of consecuti ve games with a 40-yard touchdown catch to six games.

UCF freshman Jordan Ozeriti es, who returned an intercepti on 100 yards a week ago at Tulane on the game’s fi nal 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 fi rst half and led 16-7 at the break. The lead certainly could have been much more substanti al 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 fi rst for the 11th ti me in 12 games when God-frey 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 litt le off ense all season immediately responded with a score of its own to ti e the game at seven-all. Coming into the game, UCF had allowed just 20 points in the fi rst quarter all season, while the Tigers had just scored 35 fi rst-period points.

December 4, 2010 - Att endance: 41,045Bright House Networks Stadium (Orlando, Fla.)

ORLANDO, Fla. - Playing in a conference where points oft en come in bunches and numbers regularly fl ash on scoreboards like pinball machines, UCF senior cap-tains Bruce Miller and Derrick Hallman desperately wanted to turn Saturday’s Conference USA ti tle game into a testament about the quality and nasti ness of their defense.

And aft er a day of smothering SMU’s high-powered, run-and-shoot off ense, it was only fi tti ng that the end of the championship game came with UCF’s defense on the fi eld and swarming furiously.

When UCF sacked quarterback Kyle Padron three ti mes on the game’s fi nal off ensive drive - by three diff erent players nonetheless - the Knights were fi nally 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 nati onally televised audience saw the Knights (10-3) set a C-USA ti tle game record for fewest points allowed with just seven. The Knights had fi ve 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 sti ngy defensive eff ort, combined with an early touchdown catch and a third-quarter 36-yard TD sprint from Most Valuable Player Latavius Murray and more effi cient play from freshman phenom quarterback Jeff Godfrey, set off a wild celebrati on inside Bright House Networks Stadium. Cornerback Josh Robinson, who played his best game of the season with an intercepti on, two long pass breakups and seven tackles, was the fi rst 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 off ense back in Sep-tember, 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 completi on 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 fi rst 10 third down plays.

Murray, who rose to the starti ng tailback job just three weeks ago, made plenty happen in the game for the Knights as well. He ran fi ve ti mes for 26 yards on the fi rst drive of the game and caught the fi rst touchdown of his career to put UCF up 7-0. It was the 12th ti me in 13 games that the Knights have scored fi rst 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 vic-tory what with the way the Knights’ defense was playing.

From there, UCF’s defense made the 17-0 start stand up. The Knights batt ered Padron most of the day, limited the long runs by C-USA rushing leader Zach Line (94 yards) and forced the two turnovers on intercepti ons by Robinson and senior safety Reggie Weams.

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 fi rsts including games in front of sellout crowds on campus, individ-ual accolades for student-athletes, two conference championships and trips to presti gious 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 fi eld, the veteran head coach has molded his program into a consistent winner.

His hard work contributed to the constructi on of Bright House Networks Stadium. Interest in the pro-gram has never been higher. His student-athletes are enjoying record success in the classroom, and the Knights are winning on the football fi eld.

For the second ti me in four years, O’Leary has guid-ed the Knights to a 10-win season, Conference USA championship and AutoZone Liberty Bowl berth. The Knights earned their fi rst-ever nati onal 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 ti me in six years.

In 2007, O’Leary guided the Knights to arguably the fi nest campaign in program history. UCF won 10 con-tests, claimed the Conference USA Championship and parti cipated in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in front of a nati onally-televised audience on ESPN.

There was litt le suspense as to who would garner C-USA Coach of the Year honors. O’Leary was rec-ognized with the award for the second ti me 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 C-USA contests to close out the regular season. That included the Knights’ fi rst win in school history over a nati onally-ranked Football Bowl Subdivision pro-gram when they upset No. 13/12 Houston, 37-32, on Homecoming.

Helping UCF Arrive on the Nati onal SceneO’Leary has already left his stamp on the Knights’ pro-gram. When he arrived in Orlando in 2004, UCF was not a factor on the regional or nati onal scenes.

O’Leary rebuilt the program from the ground up. He lobbied for new faciliti es, 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 win-ning streak during the season. The conference cham-pionship was the fi rst in program history.

The 10 wins during the year established a program re-cord 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-ti me in NCAA history, and 29 touchdowns. He be-came the only rusher in the state of Florida and the 12th all-ti me in the NCAA FBS to eclipse the 2,000-yard mark in a season.

The 2008 season saw Joe Burnett also earn fi rst-team All-America honors as he shatt ered the school and C-USA punt return records and graduated ranked 19th in NCAA history in career punt return yards.

In 2009, Josh Robinson was a fi rst-team freshman All-American and Bruce Miller won the fi rst of two con-secuti ve C-USA Defensive Player of the Year awards. In additi on to Miller, Jeff Godfrey was named the 2010 C-USA Freshman of the Year and a school record fi ve Knights made the All-Conference USA fi rst team this year.

Excellence off the FieldO’Leary has reshaped the UCF program in every fac-et, including improved results in the classroom. The Knights turned in a successful eff ort 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 fi rst player in school history to receive ESPN The Maga-zine 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 All-Academic Team under O’Leary. T.J. Harnden received UCF’s highest honor, the Order of the Pegasus, in 2009, becoming the second acti ve student-athlete to be so recognized.

In 2008, Rashad was named to the league all-academ-ic squad for the second-consecuti ve 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 Na-ti onal Football Foundati on and College Hall of Fame’s Hampshire Honors Society. Off ensive lineman Dan Veenstra was the award winner in 2006.

Guiding the Knights Toward ProminenceThe 2006 season featured several memorable mo-ments for the Knights as they fi nished their fi nal campaign at the Florida Citrus Bowl. Wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker had a record-breaking season. The Orlando nati ve broke the single-season school record for recepti ons with 90 and hauled in 1,178 receiv-ing yards just a year removed from an ACL injury. He earned All-C-USA First Team honors and was one of fi ve Knights recognized for their strong play by the league offi ce.

In 2005, O’Leary’s second season at UCF, he engi-neered 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 fi rst bowl appearance.

O’Leary in O’Leary in Bowl GamesBowl Games

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 ti tle. The squad became just the sixth team in NCAA history to go to a bowl game a year aft er going win-less as the Knights parti cipated in the Sheraton Ha-waii Bowl.

The college football world took noti ce of the turn-around. O’Leary was named the C-USA Coach of the Year. Both CBSsports.com and SportsIllustrated.com named him the nati onal 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 under-classmen.

Pipeline to the ProsO’Leary has experience coaching on the profession-al 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 Buff alo this past April. Burnett was a fi ft h-round pick of Pitt sburgh in 2009. Smith was one of three UCF players taken in the 2008 draft . He was the fi rst pick of the third round by Detroit. Off ensive lineman Josh Sitt on went to Green Bay in the fourth round and Kansas City selected ti ght end Mike Merritt with its seventh-round pick.

Aft er his incredible senior season in 2006, Sims-Walk-er was selected by Jacksonville in the third round. In the previous year’s draft , wide receiver Brandon Mar-shall was Denver’s fourth-round selecti on.

Other former Knights who played under O’Leary, in-cluding defensive lineman Paul Carrington, tailback Alex Haynes, ti ght end Darcy Johnson and kicker Matt Prater, have also spent ti me in the NFL.

Success at Georgia TechO’Leary was the head coach at Georgia Tech from 1994-01 aft er taking over as interim head coach for the fi nal three games of the 1994 season. During his seven-year sti nt at Georgia Tech, O’Leary guided the Yellow Jackets to a 52-33 record. The squad made fi ve bowl appearances under O’Leary.

From 1995-01, Georgia Tech recorded fi ve winning seasons in six years. His 1998 squad won the Atlanti c 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 victo-ries in 2000. The 2000 Bobby Dodd Nati onal 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 staff s. While at Georgia Tech, he had three assistants who later garnered head coaching jobs. Ralph Friedgen (Mary-land), Randy Edsall (Connecti cut) and Ted Roof (Duke) all served under O’Leary. Both Friedgen and Edsall have led their schools to BCS conference ti tles.

NFL ExperiencePrior to coming to UCF, O’Leary served on Minne-sota’s NFL coaching staff for two seasons. In 2003, he was the Vikings’ defensive coordinator. In his fi rst season with the team in 2002, he guided the defen-sive 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 RanksO’Leary had the fi rst of two sti nts at Georgia Tech from 1987-91. He served as the defensive coordina-tor/defensive line coach. The team fi nished 11-0-1 in 1990 and won the nati onal championship, defeati ng Nebraska in the Florida Citrus Bowl.

A Long Island nati ve, O’Leary received his fi rst coach-ing job at the collegiate level at Syracuse (1980-86). He coached the defensive line and was also the as-sistant head coach his fi nal 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 fi ve seasons as a prep head coach, including a perfect 10-0 campaign in 1979.

O’Leary was born in Central Islip, N.Y., and att ended Central Islip High School. He att ended the University of New Hampshire and earned his degree in physi-cal educati on. O’Leary and his wife, Sharon, have two daughters, Chris and Trish, and two sons, Tim and Marty. The O’Leary’s welcomed their fi rst 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.

2005 SHERATON HAWAII BOWL

HONOLULU - UCF dropped a 49-48 overti me decision to Nevada in the 2005 Sheraton Hawaii Bowl, the fi rst bowl game in school history. The Knights fi nished the season with an 8-5 record, just one year aft er going 0-11. The turnaround of seven games from 2004 placed UCF ti ed with seven other schools for the fourth-best single-season turnaround in Football Bowl Subdivision history. UCF kicker Matt Prater, who had three fi eld 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 fi nished 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 ti ed 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 fi eld goal with 1:32 left to draw UCF to 42-35, and the Knights recovered the onside kick with no ti me-outs left , setti ng up Marshall’s dramati c catch that sent the game into overti me. 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 fi rst 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.

Mississippi State 10UCF 3DECEMBER 29, 2007 MEMPHIS, TENN.LIBERTY BOWL MEMORIAL STADIUMMEMPHIS, Tenn. - UCF’s memorable season came to a close in a 10-3 loss to Mis-sissippi 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 fi nal 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 off enses 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 fi nished 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 fi nd 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 pati ence as Dixon and the Bulldogs off ense came alive late in the fourth quarter. Croom, in his fourth season with Mississippi State, and the Bulldogs have played this way all year, resurrecti ng 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 off ense and defense. Smith found the going diffi cult in the second half and fi nished with an average of 3.4 yards per carry aft er rushing for 188.3 yards per game during the regular season. Dixon fi nished 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 ineff ecti ve much of the game. The teams were ti ed 3-3 at halft ime, mostly due to conservati ve play-calling. Neither team converted a third down in the fi rst half (0 for 16) as Mississippi State was held to 84 total yards and UCF to 79. Israel had 12 yards passing and two intercepti ons by halft ime and Mississippi State’s Wes Carroll had 15 yards and an intercepti on. 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 fi eld goal, but missed from 32 and 37 in the second half. “I think those missed fi eld goals were big momentum breakers,” UCF coach George O’Leary said. “Give Mississippi State credit. They fought hard and didn’t turn the ball over. That usually means you’re going to come up with a close win like that.” Mississippi State fi nished with 199 total yards and Blake McAdams ti ed the Liberty Bowl record with 11 punts. But the Bulldogs came up with just enough big plays aft er Keith Fitzhugh picked off Israel’s pass at the Mississippi State 41 with 5:47 left . Carroll, pulled the series before, returned and responded with two rushes for 17 yards and two completi ons for 15 yards. All went for fi rst downs and spurred a 10-play, 59-yard drive that consumed 3:53 and fi nally led to a touchdown. Pegues, fi tti ngly, made the fi nal key defensive play, knocking down a fourth-down pass on UCF’s fi nal drive. The Bulldogs held the Knights to 219 yards and forced four turnovers. The junior safety gave Mississippi State two excellent opportuniti es with inter-cepti ons in the fi rst 30 minutes, returning the ball to UCF’s 6 and 38. The safety’s fi rst pick set up a 22-yard fi eld goal by Adam Carlson in the second quarter.

UCF 24Rutgers 45DECEMBER 19, 2009 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.TROPICANA FIELD

2009 ST. PETERSBURG BOWL

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 positi oned for the fi rst 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 intercepti on return to sap its momentum and the Knights could never mount much of a comeback in a disappointi ng 45-24 loss to Rutgers in the second St. Petersburg Bowl presented by Beef Ò’ Brady’s. `Às I told the players, I’m embarrassed for the football team that we didn’t go out and do a bett er job for the fanbase and for the football program,’’ UCF coach George O’Leary said. `Ì thought we beat ourselves a lot in a lot of situati ons out there,’’ a frustrated O’Leary conti nued. ``Right now, Rutgers defense was just a lot bett er than our of-fense and that was the diff erence in the game.’’ UCF (8-5) had hoped that the momentum of a strong fi nish to the regular season, one in which it won the fi nal six conference games and knocked off Marshall, Hous-ton 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 nett ed 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’ intercepti ons led to 14 points for Rutgers, bowl winners for a fourth consecuti ve season. And UCF’s defense yielded 380 yards and eight third-down conversions. ``The off ense put up 14 points and a fi eld goal early and defensively we played our butt s off . We didn’t want to go out like this, and this is so disappointi ng,’’ senior defensive tackle Travis Timmons said. `Ìt’s just such a big letdown. We’re 0-14 now against Big East teams and 0-3 in bowl games. Torrell (Troup), Bruce (Miller) and myself along the defensive line wanted to change all of that, but unfortunately things didn’t go the way we wanted them to.’’ Rutgers (9-4) played like an expe-rienced team in its fi ft h consecuti ve bowl, using big plays on off ense and an att acking defense to frustrate the Knights. Rutgers got six sacks and two intercepti ons defensively and fresh-man quarterback Tom Savage threw for 294 yards and two TDs.
