Ashton Jeanty stats: Boise State RB's game logs, rushing yards, Heisman Trophy odds
Boise State's Ashton Jeanty does not seem to be slowing down any time soon.
The Broncos running back recorded his ninth 100-yard rushing game in nine games and is keeping pace with the chance to break former legendary running back Barry Sanders' NCAA single-season rushing record, set at Oklahoma State in 1988.
Jeanty, listed as 5-foot-9 by Boise State, rushed 34 times for 209 yards and three touchdowns while adding two receptions for 12 yards in a 28-21 Broncos win over Nevada to keep the Bronco's hopes of a Mountain West Conference title alive. Boise State was ranked No. 14 in the Week 11 US LBM Coaches Poll, giving it the inside track to reach the 12-team College Football Playoff (in which it was ranked No. 12 in the first set of rankings).
If he can win the Heisman Trophy Award this season, Jeanty would become the first running back since Alabama's Derrick Henry to win the prestigious honor did so in 2015. A record-breaking season could be just what he needs to achieve that.
Jeanty has the most rushing yards in college football this season, leading second-place Kaleb Johnson of Iowa (1,328 yards) by over 400 yards. His 23 rushing touchdowns also edge out Johnson (20 TDs), but Jeanty has done so in one fewer game.
Here's a look at Jeanty's stats this season, including a game-by-game log and if he is on pace to beat Sanders' record after Boise State's Week 11 game vs. Nevada on Saturday night:
