Season, game stats for Boise State running back

Vaseline October 6, 2024

Ashton Jeanty has been nothing short of dominant through four games.

The Boise State running back has carried his team to a 3-1 record, with the one loss coming at a close 37-34 against No. 6 Oregon in Week 2. His play has even put him firmly on Heisman Trophy watch, as he was the most productive running back in college football this season.

The junior has a league-leading 845 rushing yards with 13 touchdowns on just 82 carries this season, averaging a ridiculous 10.3 yards per carry. His yardage total could be even higher, as he sat out the entire second half of the Broncos’ 56-14 win over Portland State in Week 4.

The former three-star recruit from Lone Star High School in Frisco, Texas, turned in a career performance against Washington State, recording 26 carries for 259 yards with four touchdowns in the 45-24 win.

With Jeanty, Boise State is also expected to be among the top candidates for an automatic College Football Playoff bid as the top-ranked non-Power Four conference champion.
