Even an injury could not slow down Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.
Despite missing a couple of series in the second half of last week’s 17-13 win over Wyoming for the No. 11 Broncos (10-1, 7-0 Mountain West), Jeanty kept up his historic pace with another monster rushing output. Jeanty finished with 169 rushing yards, including 53 on the game-winning drive.
Jeanty has 11 100-yard rushing games, eight games of over 150 rushing yards and four over 200 yards this season. With 2,062 rushing yards through 11 games, Jeanty is in prime position to break Barry Sanders’ NCAA single-season rushing record, set at Oklahoma State in 1988.
Entering Week 14, Jeanty leads the second-place rusher, Kaleb Johnson of Iowa (1,492 yards), by nearly 600 yards. His 27 rushing touchdowns are four more than Army quarterback Bryson Daily.
Here’s a look at Jeanty’s stats this season, including his game logs, and if he can beat Sanders’ record ahead of Boise State’s Week 14 game Friday vs. Oregon State:
