Jackson State will open 2016 season at UNLV

JACKSON, Mississippi -- The Tony Hughes era at Jackson State will kick off in Las Vegas.

JSU and UNLV have agreed in principle to play each other in the opening week of the 2016 season, a UNLV spokesman confirmed on Wednesday.

A formal announcement is expected to come next month, the spokesman said. No date has been set for the game, which will be played at Sam Boyd Stadium.

The Rebels went 3-9 last season and 2-6 in Mountain West play under first-year coach Tony Sanchez. Hughes, named Jackson State's coach earlier this month, will be serving as head coach for the first time during his career.
