UCF quarterback Tayven Jackson found DJ Black for a 33-yard touchdown pass with 1:03 remaining to give the Knights a 17-10 win over Jacksonville State in the teams' season opener. To secure the win, the Knights needed a big defensive stand, stopping the Gamecocks on a 4th and 1 at the UCF 36-yard line with four minutes to play. Both UCF and Jacksonville State featured new coaching staffs and new players with the Knights adding nearly 70 players through recruiting and the transfer portal and the Gamecock s adding more than 50. The lack of rhythm for both teams was apparent as they struggled to get much going on offense. The teams did not score until they traded field goals in the third quarter.Jacksonville State seemed to have the upper hand, brea king a deadlocked defensive battle with a 10-yard touchdown by Andrew Paul early in the fourth quarter for the first touchdown of the game. UCF answered the score with a seven-play drive capped off with a 39-yard touchdown catch-and-run from Jackson to D ylan Wade to tie the game at 10 apiece. Jackson played the majority of the game at quarterback for UCF and threw for 282 yards on 17-for-24 passing. Black had three catches for 59 yards and Wade added four catches for 54 to go along with their touchdowns . Running back Myles Montgomery tallied 79 yards on 21 carries and caught three passes for 71 yards, including a 64-yard pass that set up UCF's field goal. Gamecocks quarterback Gavin Wimsatt completed only 15 of 29 passes for 139 yards. Cam Cook led the ground attack with 75 yards on 17 carries. - UCF/AP College Football

Indiana quarterback Tayven Jackson smiled on camera when someone asked him during a Zoom call about handling the fast pace of Indiana's no-huddle offense. Transferring in from Tennessee, the program currently defining the tempo genre, Jackson is well-acq uainted with playing football at a breakneck pace. The Volunteers' combination of speed and explosiveness made them perhaps the best all-around offense in college football last season, the practice of which Jackson now brings to Bloomington. "I don't thi nk it's going to be faster than that," he said, "but I know (IU offensive coordinator Walt) Bell is an offensive genius. He's going to do everything he can to put our quarterbacks in the right positions to make plays."Still, it's not what's on the field that Jackson draws from most, as he transfers what he learned in Knoxville with him to Bloomington. 'This was home.'Why QB Tayven Jackson is transferring to IU football During his one season at Tennessee, Jackson worked under Josh Heupel and Alex Golesh. More importantly, he worked alongside quarterbacks Hendon Hooker and Joe Milton. Players, Jackson said, with NFL skills and NFL talent, but also NFL minds. - Indianapolis Star News

One storyline worth following in Tennessee's football offseason was expected to be where Tayven Jackson would fit in at quarterback with Joe Milton III returning and with the fanfare of five-star early enrollee Nico Iamaleava. That answer came quickly. T he 6-foot-3, 200-pounder from Greenwood, Indiana, has entered the NCAA transfer portal and will not battle it out with Milton and Iamaleava in the months ahead under the guidance of coach Josh Heupel and new offensive coordinator Joey Halzle, who is ente ring his third season as quarterbacks coach of the Volunteers. Milton and Iamaleava are currently Tennessee's only quarterbacks on scholarship. - Chattanooga Times Free Press
