O'Leary named coach of the year
UCF Coach George O'Leary will go into Saturday's Conference USA title game against Tulsa celebrating his second league coach of the year honor in three seasons.
The announcement came Wednesday after votes were tallied from selected C-USA media from each member city. Also honored by the league's media Wednesday was junior TB Kevin Smith, who shared the league's player of the year honors with Tulsa QB Paul Smith.
In last Saturday's regular season finale against UTEP, Kevin Smith became the first running back in state history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season, giving him the national rushing lead with 2,164 yards this season. He also leads the nation with a league-record 26 touchdowns. He was C-USA freshman of the year in 2005.
