Rachaad White, who gained 90 yards on 22 carries, rushed for two touchdowns in the second half and Arizona State's defense limited UNLV to 19 total yards and one first down after halftime.
Arizona State (2-0) led 14-10 at halftime but could have led by more with its final possession of the half stalling at the UNLV 26 when Daniels was sacked on a fourth-and-3 play.
