UNLV rebounds with road victory over Hawaii to move to 1-1

UNLV moved to 1-1 on the 2026 season following a 21-6 road victory against Hawaii in Honolulu. Head coach Dan Mullen praised the team's performance, noting specific improvements on both sides of the ball after the Rebels dropped their season opener against Memphis. Quarterback Jackson Arnold rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns, while running back Jet Thomas added a 53-yard scoring run to seal the win. The UNLV defense held Hawaii to six points, the fewest the Rainbow Warriors have recorded in the series dating back to 1969. Safety Tre Fulton contributed 12 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble during the contest. The Rebels will travel to face North Texas this Saturday for the Mean Green's home opener.
