Classy Smith not bothered by Doak snub

 
The three finalists for the Joke, er, Doak Walker Award were announced this week.

And Kevin Smith wasn't one of them.

And do you want to know the best part about it?

He doesn't really care.

"Right now, we're trying to advance to the conference championship game," says Smith, the UCF junior who Saturday will likely become the first runner in state history to surpass the 2,000-yard mark in a single season. "That's what I'm about right now. You don't play football for awards. You play for your team
 
"For them to mention me for the award is an accomplishment in itself. I congratulate those who [were the three finalists] for the Doak Walker Award."
