UCF Knights shut out Hurricane offense in second half to win C-USA title.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A disappointed Todd Graham and his Tulsa players walked past the Liberty Bowl trophy after describing what went wrong during Saturday's football game at Central Florida.
The bronze trophy inadvertently rang as it was symbolically being placed near UCF's victory press conference.
That clang may haunt TU following a 44-25 loss to the Knights in the Conference USA Championship game.
The sound will probably be mixed with the rabid cheers of 44,128 gold-clad UCF fans after every score, sack and interception. Then there are the chants of "Heisman" after UCF running back Kevin Smith chewed up 284 rushing yards against the Golden Hurricane defense.
Tulsa ended one win short of a season goal of a league title. And it may sting for a while.
"To get to this game and lose, it definitely hurts," TU's Tarrion Adams said. "I hurt for the seniors."
