Ashton Jeanty again eclipses 200 yards in Boise State’s route

HONOLULU – Ashton Jeanty accounted for 237 all-purpose yards and scored two touchdowns to lead No. 17 Boise State to a 28-7 victory over Hawaii on Saturday night.

The Broncos (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) pushed their winning streak to four games since their narrow loss to then No. 3 Oregon on Sept. 7.

The Rainbow Warriors (2-4, 0-2) have lost four of their last five games.

Jeanty, the leading rusher in the entire FBS, had a season-high 31 carries for 217 yards. It was his third game this season in which he surpassed the 200-meter mark and the fifth of his career.

Boise State closed the first three possessions with scores. Jonah Dalmas put up field goals from 24 and 23 yards around Jeanty’s 54-yard touchdown run to put the Broncos ahead 13-0 with 7:06 left in the first half.

Jeanty found a crease behind the right side of his offensive line before bouncing it to the perimeter and heading untouched to the end zone. It was his seventh touchdown run of at least 50 yards this year.

Jeanty entered the game averaging 10.9 yards per carry and 206.3 rushing yards per game.

Jeanty had 93 yards on eight carries after one quarter and had 15 rushes for 115 yards at halftime.

Hawaii’s score came with 3:24 left in the second quarter on a 28-yard touchdown pass from Brayden Schager to Tylan Hines.

After a scoreless third quarter, Boise State found some breathing room with a 5-yard touchdown pass from Maddux Madsen to Jeanty a few minutes into the final period. Madsen hit Austin Bolt for a 44-yard scoring strike in the final minutes.

Madsen finished 17 of 25 passing for 217 yards.
