ORLANDO - If Kevin Smith wore a necktie, he'd be tugging at it.

Then again, maybe Kevin Smith is a little too young to recall Rodney Dangerfield and the late comic's "I get no respect" shtick.

Come to think of it, UCF's sensational running back is probably also too young to recall a couple of Pro Football Hall of Fame running backs by the names Marcus Allen and Barry Sanders.

The former, Marcus Allen, Smith passed Saturday to move into second place on college football's all-time single-season rushing list. The latter, Barry Sanders, Smith now trails by 180 yards with one game to play.
