Ashton Jeanty continued his case for the Heisman Trophy with another dominant performance on Saturday for No. 14 Boise State.
Jeanty crossed the 200-yard rushing plateau in a 28-21 Broncos win over Nevada. Saturday marked Jeanty’s fourth 200-rushing yard performance on the season as he continues his climb towards Barry Sanders’ rushing record of 2,628 yards, which Sanders set in 1988, 15 years before Jeanty was born.
Here’s a look at Jeanty’s stats from Week 11:
Asthon Jeanty stats Week 11
Jeanty rushed a season-high 34 times for 209 yards and scored three touchdowns. He also added two receptions for 12 yards. After averaging 3.9 yards and 4.8 yards per carry the last two weeks, respectively, Jeanty was back to averaging 6.1 yards per rush attempt this week. He is averaging 7.7 yards per carry for the season.
Through nine games in the 2024 college football season, Jeanty has 224 rushes for 1,734 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns. Jeanty is now just 894 yards short of Barry Sanders’ rushing record of 2,628 yards.
The 5-foot-9 running back seeks to become the first running back since Alabama’s Derrick Henry to win the Heisman. Henry won the honors in 2015.
Note: The Broncos are currently in a position to play in the Mountain West championship game and a first-round game in the College Football Playoff, meaning Jeanty could have at least six more games left this season.
