Orlando, Fla. (www.ucfathletics.com) - A trio of UCF football players were named to the Blue Ribbon College Football Yearbook Preseason All-Conference USA first team this past week. Seniors Joe Burnett and Pat Brown were joined by sophomore Bruce Miller on the publication's preseason squad.
The three players all earned All-Conference USA recognition a season ago as the Knights captured the 2007 league title with a 44-25 victory over Tulsa at Bright House Networks Stadium.
Burnett ranks second on the UCF career charts with 12 interceptions, which is a total that has him second among active returning players in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. The senior from Eustis, Fla., is a three-time All-Conference USA performer as both a cornerback and punt returner.
Brown has made 38-consecutive starts at left tackle - the most of any active player in the FBS. The St. Charles, Ill. Native helped the UCF offense churn out school records for points in a season (502) and rushing yards (3,287) a season ago.
Miller ranked fourth in C-USA with 7.5 sacks during his rookie campaign in 2007. The Canton, Ga., native was a second-team All C-USA selection and a member of the All-Freshman team.
Season tickets for the 2008 UCF football campaign are currently available. To order season tickets, or to learn more abut attending games at Bright House Networks Stadium, call 407-UCF-1000. The Knights are scheduled to play six home contests this year.
