Boise State's Jeanty shines with 186 yards in dominant win

In the United States, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty had a remarkable performance during a game against Utah State on Saturday night. He achieved 186 rushing yards and three touchdowns on just 13 carries, leading the No. 21 Broncos to a decisive 62-30 victory. This performance allowed Jeanty to surpass 1,000 rushing yards for the season in only five games, tying an FBS record for the fastest to reach this milestone. His impressive statistics include an average of 10.9 yards per carry and a total of 1,031 rushing yards, ranking eighth in FBS history for the most yards gained in the first five games of a season. Jeanty’s explosive plays included a 63-yard touchdown run on his first carry and a 75-yard touchdown run, which set a new Mountain West record for the most 70-yard rushing touchdowns in a single season. His ability to break off long runs has made him a standout player, as he has recorded seven rushes of 60 or more yards this season, tying for the most in FBS over the last two decades. Despite his success, Jeanty sat out the second half of a previous game to manage his workload and ensure he remains healthy for the team. As a result of his outstanding performance, Jeanty has emerged as a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy, with odds of 2.5-1 according to ESPN BET. His coach expressed confidence in Jeanty’s potential to be a finalist in New York, highlighting his work ethic and team-oriented attitude. The Broncos' offense has shown dominance, marking their first 60-plus point game since 2018, showcasing the team's overall strength this season.
