.RAGIN' CAJUNS: DESPITE THEIR RECORD, THE RAGIN' CAJUNS BRING IN THE SIXTH-BEST RUSHING TEAM IN THE NATION - 257 .5 YARDS A GAME - LED BY QUARTERBACK MICHAEL DESORMEAUX. KNIGHTS: KEVIN SMITH IS THIRD IN THE NATION IN RUSHING YARDS PER GAME

MELISSA HEYBOER Editor-in-Chief

oming off one of the biggest, most impressive wins in school history, . Cand the first at Bright House Net- works Stadium - a 56-20 romping of the Memphis Tigers, one would think the UCF Football team would be riding high on cockiness rather than confidence. But that's not the case. The Knights know that no team can go overlooked, including the Ragin' Cajuns of Louisiana­ Lafayette, who will enter tomorrow's game with an 0-4 record. "Being confident is being confident in your ability and knowing what we can do as a team and going out and executing that," junior defensive back Sha'reff Rashad said, "and knowing that if we get our game down, we'll be fine on the field." If you were here two years ago, you may remember UCF narrowly won a 24-21 decision over the Ragin' Cajuns, which came down to a last-second field goal. That was the same year the Knights went on to win the East Division of Conference USA and Louisiana-Lafayette finished the season with a 6-5 record. ''.A lot of the guys they had from a cou­ ple years ago, they've been able to bring back," Rashad said. "So we know exactly what they can do .... We know what they're capable of, and ifwe don't go out and play our game, it's going to be a hard fight for us." The Knights will face off against the Ragin' Cajuns for the fourth time in histo­ ry and UCF holds a 3-0 record since their first meeting in 1998, when the Knights won42-10. Despite their record, the Ragin' Cajuns bring in the sixth best rushing team in the nation - 257.5 yards a game - led by quarterback Michael Desormeaux. UCF head coach George O'Leary said Des­ ormeaux will be the biggest threat to the Knights' defense. "They run a good offense that breaks you down to responsibility on defense," O'Leary said. "[Desormeaux] is a talented athlete and really understands the offense
