No Heisman, no worries

ORLANDO -- Despite downright gaudy rushing numbers, UCF's Kevin Smith won't be a part of the Heisman Trophy Award presentation in New York next week.

The only person who doesn't seem to be too concerned about that is Smith. He has his mind on other matters, such as the Knights winning the Conference USA championship Saturday afternoon vs. Tulsa.

But that's typical Smith. In the midst of one of the greatest single-season offensive performances in NCAA history, he has downplayed his individual significance. His humility has never wavered, nor has his focus on taking UCF to the top of the C-USA heap.

"Forget all of the awards, we're playing for a championship and a championship was our goal from Day 1," Smith said.
