Ashton Jeanty leads the nation with 1,876 rushing yards and 196.6 rushing yards per game
Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty leads the nation in rushing this season. Circa is a 21-and-over venue. That meant that Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty — the Mountain West’s returning Offensive Player of the Year — wasn’t permitted in the building.So while the conference’s 12 head coaches and 24 players met inside with the media, Jeanty was left out in the cold on a 114-degree day in Las Vegas.
Sanders rushed for 2,628 yards in 1988 at Oklahoma State. Longtime local football fans may recall the last game of that historic season, whenin the Cowboys’ 62-14 victory over Wyoming. Jeanty made a friendly wager with offensive lineman Mason Randolph: the running back will cut his dreadlocks if he realizes the rushing goal.Randolph may be sharpening the shears. Jeanty is 124 yards away from 2,000 coming into the game against the Aztecs. The fewest yards he has gained in a game was 127 against Portland State, but he came out after only 11 carries in a blowout victory.
“I did feel as though we were running to the ball,” SDSU safety Cedarious Barfield said then, “but kind of not getting there to make a play. We were kind of running there just to run there.” That’s technically true. Jeanty carried 10 times for 137 yards in the first half, mush of it on a 58-yard touchdown run. He rushed 13 times in the second half for 68 yards and a 6-yard TD.
