Ashton Jeanty’s Performance: Rushing Yards Against Nevada


On Saturday, Ashton Jeanty showcased his talent once again, making a strong case for the Heisman Trophy, as he led No. 14 Boise State to victory against Nevada.

 

In the game, Jeanty surpassed 200 rushing yards, contributing to a 28-21 win for the Broncos. This was Jeanty’s fourth game this season with over 200 rushing yards, as he aims to break Barry Sanders’ long-standing rushing record of 2,628 yards from 1988, which was set 15 years before Jeanty was born.

Let’s take a closer look at Jeanty’s performance in Week 11:

Ashton Jeanty’s Week 11 Stats

Jeanty had a remarkable game, rushing a season-high 34 times for 209 yards and scoring three touchdowns. He also caught two passes for an additional 12 yards. After two weeks of averaging 3.9 and 4.8 yards per carry, he bounced back to an impressive average of 6.1 yards per rush this week, bringing his season average to 7.7 yards per carry.

 

In total, over nine games this season, Jeanty has recorded 224 carries for 1,734 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns. This leaves him only 894 yards shy of Barry Sanders’ record of 2,628 yards.

 

At 5 feet 9 inches tall, Jeanty aims to become the first running back to win the Heisman Trophy since Derrick Henry from Alabama, who won in 2015.

Note: The Broncos are gearing up for the Mountain West championship game and could still enter the College Football Playoff, meaning Jeanty may have at least six games left this season.

 

  • Rushing: 224 carries for 1,734 yards (7.7 yards per carry) with 23 touchdowns
