Stefphon Jefferson said there wasn’t much to the Nevada offense on Saturday night.

"It was just the same basic thing," he said. "That’s what is good about our offense."

There wasn’t anything ordinary about Jefferson’s record-setting night after scoring seven touchdowns in a 69-24 demolition of Hawaii at Aloha Stadium.

The junior running back tied an NCAA record with his seven total touchdowns against a major college opponent, rushing for 170 yards and six scores and catching another — all while sitting out the entire fourth quarter.

Nevada coach Chris Ault, who won for the first time in his past six trips to the islands, said he was too caught up in the game to focus on who was doing all the damage in the end zone.

"I really didn’t realize it at all," he said. "I knew he was scoring, but that’s not an issue with us. We were just playing and going."

Nevada’s up-tempo style left Hawaii defenders with their hands on their hips. Jefferson, who was averaging 30.3 carries a game coming in, managed 31 rushes in three quarters and caught three more balls out of the backfield for 76 yards.

Most of Nevada’s offense came on simple handoffs up the middle as the Wolf Pack’s offensive front — averaging 302 pounds across the line— pounded away on Hawaii’s front seven, opening gaping holes for Jefferson to romp through, at times untouched.

"They’re a tight-knit group and they practice just like they play," Ault said. "I’m excited at that … that’s the heart and soul of this football team."

Jefferson, who redshirted his first year but made the trip here for the 2009 Hawaii Bowl, had been on the Nevada sideline for three consecutive losses at Aloha Stadium.

Not wanting a repeat — again — Jefferson set a Mountain West Conference and UH opponent record with seven TDs, becoming the first player since Oklahoma State’s Rashaun Woods in 2003 to achieve the feat against a major-college opponent.

He now leads the nation with 699 rushing yards — averaging 174.8 per game.

"The last time I had carries like this was in high school," said Jefferson who also said he’d never scored seven times in a single game. "I took them well (then) and I guess I’m taking them well now."

If Jefferson needs any guidance on how to handle record-breaking performances at Aloha Stadium, all he has to do is talk to his offensive coordinator.

Former Hawaii quarterback Nick Rolovich, who held the same position the last two years here before taking the job with Nevada, threw for eight touchdowns 11 years ago against BYU.

After meeting with his team in the locker room after the game, Rolovich returned to the field and laid two rolls of Rolo candies in an X-shape on the "H" of the Hawaii logo at midfield.

"I wanted (this game) to be about Nevada and changing this series around," he said. "Having a good celebration like this is pretty special for Nevada football."

Nevada was 1-9 in its past 10 games at Aloha Stadium and hadn’t beaten Hawaii here since a 73-12 victory in 1948.
