Miller now ranks second in Florida history in sacks, and 5th all-time in the FBS. With the victory, the Knights set a school record with 11 wins, and earned their first win as a nationally ranked BCS squad, cementing the best season in school history. UCF also finished the year with more wins than any other FBS team in Florida, and was the only team in the state to be nationally ranked in both the BCS and the AP men's basketball poll.

With the win, his record is 45–44 with the Knights, and he now sits only three shy of 100 career wins. The win gives him a career record of 4–5 against the Bulldogs. In addition to winning the Conference USA title, UCF and its players won several other awards. Head coach George O'Leary was named C-USA Coach of the Year for the third time.
