Smith, Hogue earn C-USA top honors vs. Tulsa Saturday, noon TV: ESPN

Following strong performances in UCF's 36-20 win over UTEP Saturday, junior TB Kevin Smith and junior LB Cory Hogue were named Conference USA offensive and defensive players of the week on Monday.

Smith rushed for 219 yards and a touchdown against the Miners and became the first running back in state history to surpass 2,000 yards in a season. He's rushed for 4,276 yards in his career, which moves him past UF's Errict Rhett for first on the all-time charts in the Sunshine State.

Hogue took his first weekly honor and third for a Knights defender this season after posting a career-best 13 tackles while helping hold UTEP to just 28 rushing yards.
