A 2,000 odyssey for UCF's Smith

 
UCF's Kevin Smith leads the nation in rushing yards, a distinction he reached in part because of a mother and brother who wouldn't succumb to life-threatening situations.
 
Remarkable story, isn't it?

A high school football player from the heart of Miami who gets largely overlooked in recruiting and goes to a school he has never heard of to become arguably the most productive runner in college football three years into the process.

Not really.

At least not compared to the complete story. The one that starts with his family.

Kevin Smith is the University of Central Florida running back who refuses to be ignored, leading the country in rushing yards, rushing attempts, scoring and 100-yard games.
