Spilogs, Heisman Trophy odds for Boise State RB

On By Littum

game

Ashton Jeanty continues to take college football by storm in the midst of a historic season at Boise State while becoming one top-10 prospects in the upcoming NFL draft class.

Perhaps an added layer of uniqueness to Jeanty’s season is that it comes in the Mountain West and at Boise State (a “Group of Five” program) and not at the “Power Four” level.

The 5-foot-9 running back is coming off an outing against UNLV in which he touched the ball 33 times and ran for 128 rushing yards with a rushing touchdown. He leads the nation in rushing and is second in rushing touchdowns and remains in contention to become the first running back since Alabama’s Derrick Henry to win the Heisman Trophy Award.

Jeanty’s 128 rushing yards last week vs. UNLV tied former Boise State running back Jay Ajayi’s record for the program record for most consecutive games with 100-plus yards rushing at seven. His rushing touchdown in the third quarter was his 18th of the season – which also tied him with Ajayi for sixth in single-season scoring.

Entering Week 10 of the college football season, Jeanty is also in the process of breaking one of college football’s longest records by a running back: Barry Sanders’ NCAA single-season rushing record, which he set at Oklahoma State in 1988 .

Here’s a look at Jeanty’s stats this season, including a game log from his games this season and how far he is from Sanders’ record:
