North Texas defeats UNLV 44-6 on Saturday, with Tayven Jackson accounting for three touchdowns and Jahiem White scoring twice. Jackson passes for two touchdowns and runs for another, while White’s pair of scores helps the Mean Green build a decisive lead.
The win comes in North Texas’ home opener under first-year coach Nate Brown. One report notes the team is using a large number of new players, including many transfers, and describes the context of an earlier season setback, a 52-16 loss to defending national champion Indiana. Coverage also frames the matchup as a test against UNLV, a team expected by at least one outlet to compete for a Group of Six playoff berth.
All accounts agree on the game’s key production: Jackson completes 15 of 26 passes for 233 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown connection with White that puts North Texas ahead 13-0 in the first quarter. They also agree on the final score and the offensive contributions by both Jackson and White.
