A poll conducted by league media members that was announced yesterday had it differently with senior Torrell Troup (Canton, Ga.) named to the All-C-USA first team and Miller garnering second-team accolades. The league office did not release a second team for the coaches poll. Both players were named to the coaches’ All-C-USA team following the 2008 season.<\/p>\n

The Knights return almost the entire front seven two-deep from a defensive unit that led C-USA in rushing defense (126.08 ypg) and passing efficiency defense (107.46 rating) while ranking second in the league in both total defense (333.75 ypg) and scoring defense (24.08 ppg).<\/p>\n

UCF’s defensive line proved to be particularly strong last fall, ranking third in the nation with 8.17 tackles for loss per game and 26th nationally in sacks.<\/p>\n

A disruptive force at tackle, Troup started all 12 games last fall. Through frequent double-teams, Troup was able to amass 12.5 TFLs, tying for fourth overall in C-USA.<\/p>\n

Miller showed versatility last fall, playing at both end and tackle to help the Knights get an even speedier look to the unit. He shared the C-USA lead in 2008 with 17 TFLs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Junior Bruce Miller (Conyers, Ga.) was named today to the preseason All-Conference USA first team in a vote of the league’s 12 head coaches.
