Anderson familiar with beating UCF

Blake Anderson was an offensive coordinator when he got his introduction to Central Florida football.

At the time, Southern Miss -- where Anderson worked for four seasons under Larry Fedora -- and Central Florida were rivals in the Conference USA East Division, where they met annually. The teams played every year from 2008-11, all Southern Miss victories decided by 11 points or less.

"It was a brutal, physical battle," Anderson recalled. "We got the best of them and beat them four times in a row, but there was nothing easy about it."

Anderson will get reacquainted with his old rivals at 4:30 p.
