UCF Knights Lose Liberty Bowl

The University of Central Florida lost to Mississippi State in the lowest scoring Liberty Bowl since 1979 Saturday night.Anthony Dixon scored on a 1-yard run with 1:54 remaining, Derek Pegues had two interceptions and Mississippi State kept Central Florida's Kevin Smith from breaking the single-season rushing record in a 10-3 victory at the Liberty Bowl Saturday."It hurts me to my heart. It's going to kill me when I wake up tomorrow and even more when I sit on this break until we go back to school," Smith said. In a game featuring anemic offenses and 17 punts, the Bulldogs kept the Knights out of the end zone and held Smith to 119 yards. The junior finished 61 yards shy of Barry Sanders' single-season record of 2,628 yards set for Oklahoma State in 1988.
