Jackson Arnold Accounts for 5 TDs as UNLV Beats California 39-31
Arnold accounted for five touchdowns and 268 total yards as UNLV erased a 17-point lead and scored the final two touchdowns.
On Saturday, UNLV quarterback Jackson Arnold led the Rebels to a 39-31 victory over California at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, accounting for 268 total yards and five touchdowns.
California debuted an 'Air Raid' offense under quarterbacks coach Nick Rolovich, but lost starting quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele and safety Kingston Lopa to injuries before halftime.
After UNLV built a 24-7 halftime lead, the Bears rallied to take a 25-24 advantage in the fourth quarter, with Arnold finishing with 110 rushing yards and 158 passing yards.
Backup quarterback Jackson Brousseau threw a late 10-yard touchdown pass to Ian Strong to pull Cal within 39-31, but the team failed on two subsequent two-point conversion attempts, sealing UNLV's victory.
Next Saturday, UNLV will host conference newcomer North Dakota State to open Mountain West play, while California returns home to host Virginia Tech for its third Atlantic Coast Conference matchup.
