Smith earns player of week honors
The accolades keep raining down on UCF junior TB Kevin Smith.
Smith was named co-Conference USA player of the week Monday, his third such honor this season. No player has earned he weekly award three times in a single season since East Carolina's James Pinkney in 2005.
Smith shared the honor this week with Memphis QB Martin Hankins, who threw for 396 yards and four scores in a comeback win over Southern Mississippi.

Smith broke the UCF single-game rushing record with 320 yards in the Knights' 45-31 win over UAB Saturday. The total also helped him break the school single-season rushing mark formerly held by Marquette Smith. Kevin has 1,768 yards. The previous record was 1,511.
He also owns the top single-season rushing record in Florida college football history, passing former Miami back Willis McGahee (1,753 in 2002). And his four rushing touchdowns against the Blazers tied a program single-game record and increased his season touchdown total to 23, which leads Division I-A.
