Thursday night at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, the UNLV Rebels did what they should have done to an FCS team in a season opener. They scored early, often, and rolled to a 63-13 victory over the Jackson State Tigers.
There were plenty of reasons on display for UNLV fans to be excited about the 2016 season last night, but perhaps none more striking than the Johnny Stanton to Devonte Boyd passing attack.
The two hooked up four times Thursday, three of those for touchdowns, as Boyd tallied a game high 135 receiving yards.
