UCF Wins Conference USA Championship

The UCF Knights and their fans have something to brag about after the school won its first conference championship in its brand new football stadium Saturday.

Kevin Smith ran for 284 yards and four touchdowns, moving into second place behind Barry Sanders on the NCAA's single-season rushing list, and Central Florida beat Tulsa
44-25 for the Conference USA championship.

An estimated 40,000 fans packed Brighthouse Networks Stadium for the championship game.

With a trip to a bowl game ahead, the party is just beginning.

"We're going to Memphis, baby! UCF is No. 1," one fan cheered.
