Former Indiana quarterback Tayven Jackson led UCF, to a season-opening win against Jacksonville State on Thursday night at the Acrisure Bounce House in Orlando, Florida in a 17-10 victory.
Tayven Jackson took over when starting quarterback Cam Fancher was injured in the second quarter. Jackson ompleted 17 of his 24 passing attempts, including two touchdowns, one of which was the go-ahead score for the Knights late in the fourth quarter.
The game started with sloppy offense from both teams and a two-hour rain and lightning delay in the middle of the second quarter.
Before Fancher's injury he only completed five of nine passes for 32 yards and also rushed four times for 39 yards.
