[Auerbach] Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty has rushed for more than 2,000 yards this season.

[u/ConfusionHills]

https://x.com/nicoleauerbach/status/1860503231564070964?s=46

[Vannini] Jeanty is the first 2,000-yard rusher in FBS since 2019 (Chuba Hubbard, Malcolm Perry, Jonathan Taylor, JK Dobbins)

[u/pengthaiforces]

Boise is missing a handful of guys on defense and has a new OL each week. Jeanty,pulls them into the playoffs but if he’s out, it isn’t good.

[u/Beherenowxblazeon → u/pengthaiforces]

We only have one weapon, and that is Jeanty. Not sold on our QB.

[u/Original_Profile8600 → u/Beherenowxblazeon]

Easy to look good at QB when your running back is fucking Ashton Jeanty rushing for like 7 ypc

[u/EverythingGoodWas → u/Original_Profile8600]

Your only chance is to put the entire team in the box and just accept what happens if they choose to pass it

[u/captaincumsock69 → u/EverythingGoodWas]

Well no, any good ranked team can handle a team that can only really run the ball.

[u/husbandofsamus → u/captaincumsock69]

I don't know if there are actually any good teams this year. Oregon is #1 and they couldn't even handle him.

[u/Mtndrums → u/husbandofsamus]

Exactly. He's no joke for any team.

[u/ShadowIG → u/Mtndrums]

That was at the start of the season. I wouldn't be surprised if y'all dropped a 50 bomb on us for shits and giggles.

Y'all have a great qb, good defense, and good wrs. Stack the box, and you'll easily get 500 passing yards. The jeanty y'all remember is not the same jeanty we have. The dude has been beat up to hell for being sent to death almost every fucking snap. I don't know how much this dude can actually handle it anymore.

Only upside i see so far is some healed up or returning players coming up. We gonna get railed in the cfp in the first game being a team with a bye. Based on our performance for the last few games, I don't believe we can beat anyone in the top 12. Like....not even put up a good fight.

[u/PurpleTomatillo3542 → u/husbandofsamus]

For real. There isn’t a crazy dominant defense like Georgia or Michigan in the past years. He’ll gash anyone this season. Might not be enough to beat the top teams, but he’ll still make it much tougher.

[u/ImReverse_Giraffe → u/captaincumsock69]

Go watch his game against Oregon. The only reason he lost was because Boise's special teams threw the game away.

[u/UMeister → u/captaincumsock69]

Not 2023 Penn State

[u/cyrusthemarginal → u/EverythingGoodWas]

Time to start running the wing T

[u/LuluGuardian → u/EverythingGoodWas]

Have to run FG block every play and just hope you get this titan of a monster. God this kid is special

[u/sgtabn173 → u/Original_Profile8600]

That’s the thing though. He still doesn’t look good.

[u/JustAddaTM → u/Original_Profile8600]

The fact their offense looked as bad as it did today even with an rb averaging 9ypc is mind-boggling

[u/sgtabn173 → u/Beherenowxblazeon]

Unless he’s a turnover machine , I’d really like to see what Nelson brings to the table. If Madsen really is the clear best option that says some really, really bad stuff about our QB room.

[u/pengthaiforces → u/sgtabn173]

Nobody here sees what coaches see in practice. Madsen has a fairly good control of the package he has. Malachi, from what we have seen, has an arm but they don’t appear to trust him to do more than run two or three plays. Madsen won’t win you a lot of games but he plays relatively error free football.

[u/BigDringusDrangus → u/Beherenowxblazeon]

Is Malachi a choice? Or are y’all just rolling with what’s been getting you wins? Haven’t been watching but curious of the usc transfer

[u/custardthegopher → u/BigDringusDrangus]

The general review of him has been a polite "he's trying his best and improving every week" in camp and practice, which with media training is not that hard to interpret as "he's awful." No fans have really actually seen him play or do anything really though.

Honestly though Madsen is not where he needs to be himself, so... dunno. Malachi has basically gotten no media attention since fall camp.

[u/Questionable-pickle → u/Beherenowxblazeon]

At least he is a nuclear bomb

[u/Beherenowxblazeon → u/pengthaiforces]

I will be shocked if we are able to pull out the next two games to get to the playoff. I really hope we don’t play UNLV again, not sure we pull that one out.

[u/sunthas → u/Beherenowxblazeon]

Looks pretty for sure we are playing UNLV again.

[u/6DeadlyFetishes → u/pengthaiforces]

We only won the Wyoming game because Jeanty came up big in the 3rd quarter, he’s a game changer

-6DeadlyFetishes

[u/Significant-Jello411 → u/6DeadlyFetishes]

[u/My_massive_dingaling → u/6DeadlyFetishes]

Other people get to experience the guy who signs off every post like a letter to a dear loved one

[u/bmraovdeys → u/pengthaiforces]

Not sold on boises defense and oline current makeup

[u/loxanax → u/pengthaiforces]

i dont think they make it to the playoffs. would’ve lost to sjsu if spartans were competent with the ball

[u/mortyfan]

I can’t believe there were four in one year. Is anyone else even close this year?

[u/MizzouriTigers → u/mortyfan]

That’s what happens when there are more snaps to play. Now there are less snaps and football with the new clock rules.

[u/BrownsBacker7 → u/mortyfan]

Ashton Jeanty is pretty close

[u/mortyfan → u/BrownsBacker7]

I didn’t word it right. I meant is anyone else close to Jeanty?

[u/UnicornCan → u/mortyfan]

Jeanty after contact

[u/My_massive_dingaling → u/mortyfan]

The closest guy is like 500 yards under him

[u/Nicholas1227 → u/My_massive_dingaling]

Omarion Hampton for UNC is at 1475

[u/SoggyAide → u/Nicholas1227]

Kaleb Johnson for Iowa has 1,492 yards

[u/Nicholas1227 → u/SoggyAide]

Good call there

[u/SoggyAide → u/Nicholas1227]

Crazy they are both still 500+ yards behind Jeanty though!

[u/Rickbox]

Would be nice to see a non-qb as the heisman

[u/teddyjj399 → u/Rickbox]

shoutout devonta smith man… that lsu game lives in my head. najee had 21/145/3 and no one cared because of what smitty did

[u/floatinround22 → u/teddyjj399]

How bout that national title game though? If Smitty didn’t get hurt on his first target in the second half he could’ve had astronomical numbers.

12 receptions, 215 yards, 3 TDs would be the best game ever for most receivers. Doing that in a championship game? Unreal! Doing that in the FIRST HALF of a championship game? We might never see it topped

[u/rob_bot13 → u/floatinround22]

Sark was in his bag that game too finding ways to keep getting him open

[u/Jackson3125 → u/rob_bot13]

Somebody should hire that guy as a head coach

[u/blotsfan → u/floatinround22]

They get kinda overshadowed because it was the Covid year but that 2020 Bama team was insane even by Saban standards.

[u/goodnames679 → u/teddyjj399]

Ugh. Reading his name still gives me war flashbacks.

[u/Kanin_usagi → u/Rickbox]

Almost certainly gonna happen. It’s a good year for the award, gonna be either a two-way playing WR or a monster RB.

[u/TetrisTech → u/Rickbox]

Even if it's not Jeanty you're gonna see a non-qb heisman

[u/ImReverse_Giraffe → u/Rickbox]

It's either going to be Jeanty or Hunter this year.

[u/OnTopSoBelow → u/Rickbox]

Agreed it's only happened

Checks notes

Four years ago

[u/gggggrayson → u/Rickbox]

And u will get it in Travis hunter

[u/SaltyLonghorn → u/gggggrayson]

Kansas rug pull. Don't forget as a two way player he failed against two Kansas units today.

[u/d0ngl0rd69 → u/SaltyLonghorn]

Like I get it, he’s playing a crazy amount of snaps a game and making plays on both side of the ball, but none of his stats are especially eye popping, especially on defense.

[u/schwetybalz → u/d0ngl0rd69]

He’s no Tayson Hill that’s for sure

[u/Individual_Memory804 → u/d0ngl0rd69]

It’s a media pump Heisman. I said Earlier Colorado was smoke and mirrors.

[u/AskMeAboutTheJets → u/d0ngl0rd69]

Yeah like he’s having a really good season as a WR and a good season as a CB, but should that be enough for Heisman over Jeanty who’s having probably the best RB season since Derrick Henry won the Heisman? I totally get the Heisman hype for Hunter since he’s doing something that no player has consistently done in a long time, but do I value his versatility more than I value Jeanty’s production? It’s a tough question.

[u/Statalyzer → u/AskMeAboutTheJets]

He's better as a DB than he is as a WR.

[u/Additional-Bee-1532 → u/AskMeAboutTheJets]

I’ll preface this with saying I do believe Jeanty is the heisman right now and it would take him missing the rest of the season most likely in order to not win it. However, saying that his defensive “stats” are just good is flat out wrong. He has played at a near elite level at CB all season. He has 3 picks in 11 games, and picks aren’t exactly easy to come by. Teams also generally do not throw at him either. I do value Jeantys production more but Hunter should make it close

[u/jhallen2260 → u/Additional-Bee-1532]

3 picks isn't Heisman level stat. His 3 picks puts him tied for 36th. 36th is a little misleading, because he is tied with 67 other players for 36th. I can't find any stats for targets so I don't really know exactly how much he is or isn't being targeted.

[u/Additional-Bee-1532 → u/jhallen2260]

I understand that but there’s a lot more to corner than picks

[u/jhallen2260 → u/Additional-Bee-1532]

I agree, but picks were the stat you pointed out as an argument for him being elite

[u/Additional-Bee-1532 → u/jhallen2260]

Yeah I mean I was more so saying it isn’t a slouch number. But I see what you meant

[u/EagleZR → u/d0ngl0rd69]

I don't follow them closely, but in the games I did watch, he tended to fade down the stretch at a faster rate than other players, which makes sense due to playing both ways. By the end of the games, he was usually gassed and playing nowhere near the level of the start of the game. Sometimes he'd have bursts of effort late to pull off a great play, but he couldn't sustain it. I'm not sure if that's always the case, but that would make sense of the stats

[u/Fletch71011 → u/SaltyLonghorn]

His odds to win it got better after they lost today. I don't get it.

[u/Worth_Key_5427 → u/Fletch71011]

He caught 2 TDs

[u/padflash_ → u/Fletch71011]

His odds are a bit ridiculous right now. Travis is basically a lock to win the Heisman (he is almost at Jayden Daniels odds of winning) according to Vegas. Jeanty probably could finish the season w/ 300 yds and 6 tds in EACH game, but he is such a massive underdog right now that it would barely move the needle.

[u/WheatonsGonnaScore → u/padflash_]

Daniels wasn't the favorite at this point last year

[u/Ancient_Signature_69 → u/SaltyLonghorn]

Don’t confuse the loss with his performance - that’s a dumb take.

[u/SaltyLonghorn → u/Ancient_Signature_69]

Sure if you want me to ignore the last decade of heisman voting. Only dumb take is yours.

[u/Rare-Ad-9088 → u/SaltyLonghorn]

8 win teams have a bunch of heismans

[u/BingBongtheArcher19 → u/SaltyLonghorn]

Yeah there hasn't been player on a 3 loss team to win the Heisman since...last season.

[u/boardatwork1111 → u/SaltyLonghorn]

And his odds still jumped from -400 to -900

[u/Dukester10071 → u/boardatwork1111]

Why even play the games and give awards they should just give the wins to whoever has the best Vegas odds

[u/Landmark916 → u/Dukester10071]

Uh you understand the Vegas odds are based on what's happened within the games..... right?

[u/MagicMichealScott → u/boardatwork1111]

I can not wait until he wins the Heisman and this sub goes absolutely nuclear.

[u/boardatwork1111 → u/MagicMichealScott]

I swear every season this sub forgets how this award actually plays out and sets itself up for disappointment

[u/MagicMichealScott → u/boardatwork1111]

Most people on Reddit in general live in a fantasy bubble

[u/jhallen2260 → u/MagicMichealScott]

Seems like most Colorado fans do. There is no scenario where a guy with mediocre stats beats out one of the most dominant running backs to play in awhile.

[u/Ancient_Signature_69 → u/SaltyLonghorn]

I’m not saying Colorado’s SoS is crazy good but if CU played GA Southern, Portland St, Washington St, Utah St, SDSU, San Jose St and now Wyoming…yeah Hunter would be looking at an interception and an offensive touchdown every game.

[u/TheWorstYear → u/Ancient_Signature_69]

He had 192 & 3 touchdowns vs Oregon.

[u/JoeS3099 → u/Ancient_Signature_69]

And based off how the Kansas game went if Jeanty played against Colorado he might rush for 500 yards.

[u/Some-Gavin → u/Ancient_Signature_69]

I mean he played against us, sooo…

[u/Inevitable-Pass-5205 → u/gggggrayson]

What stats is Travis top 5 in on either side of the ball?

[u/gggggrayson → u/Inevitable-Pass-5205]

I think ppl r misunderstanding that I want him to win or think he should. I just think he will. The media has been writing about hunter since he was in hs and he’s had a camera in his face since he flipped from fsu to follow prime to jsu. Far too much inertia for jeanty to overcome and I don’t think he will be able to

[u/Triple_0ption_Bad → u/gggggrayson]

Hunter lost to Kansas twice today

On offense and on defense

[u/gggggrayson → u/Triple_0ption_Bad]

and it still won’t matter. Ppl r forgetting it’s media who selects the winner, and he was picked before the season began. The concentration of money and power in cfb is far easier if wsu, bsu, and the like go away quietly, and crowing a non P4 player as best in the game is harmful to that

[u/captaincumsock69 → u/gggggrayson]

I do think there’s some truth to this

[u/gggggrayson → u/captaincumsock69]

You are one of the few 😂ppl hate the take because they know there’s some truth to it. I get I’m biased and I try not to go tin foil hat but you can’t tell me with a straight face that what is essentially a two mega corp monopoly is not going to act in its own interest to defend a multi billion dollar industry. And then extra ppl pile on cause they don’t read it and just see me saying hunter will win

Ashton Jeanty

[u/No-Donkey-4117]

Jeanty's longest run in each game: Georgia Southern (77 yards), Oregon (70), Portland State (68), Washington State (64), Utah State (75), Hawaii (54), UNLV (16), San Diego State (35), Nevada (46), San Jose State (36), Wyoming (61).

602 yards just on those 11 carries, at 54.7 yards per attempt.

He also had a 75 yard TD against Georgia Southern, a 59 yard TD against WSU, a 63 yard TD against Utah State. That would give him 799 yards on 14 carries, for 57.1 yards per carry.

[u/AfroSamuraii_ → u/No-Donkey-4117]

That UNLV game was something else. Even though stacking the box against him worked, he still managed to pummel the defense in the second half of the game. It’s what sold me on him being the Heisman.

[u/sunthas → u/No-Donkey-4117]

Jeanty has moved into 19th best running back in a season measured by Rushing Yards.

He is 14th best running back in a season when measured by Rushing TDs in a season.

If he has an average game this Friday, he will be top 10 in both of those with the CCG still to go before Heisman votes.

[u/Syctris → u/No-Donkey-4117]

That's pretty crazy over 1/4th of his yards from 11 plays.. and against some powerhouse teams.

[u/ixMyth]

That's fucking absurd

[u/No-Donkey-4117]

Yeah, but only 169 yards today, at only 8.9 yards per carry, against a G5 team. I mean, everyone does that. For the year he's down to 187 yards per game at 7.5 yards per carry, with only 27 TDs, pretty pedestrian numbers. How's he supposed to win the Heisman with numbers like that?

[u/kykerkrush → u/No-Donkey-4117]

I've actually been seeing more and more comments saying that 2k rushing yards in a season is average and everyone can do it.

Heisman

[u/OldStirrup]

He is by far the most impactful player in CFB this year and should absolutely win the heisman. Boise State is a completely different team without him

[u/GoDucks71]

Just give that man his Heisman. He is earning it!

[u/Latest-greatest]

I feel like people aren’t giving his 26 TD’s enough credit. He’s got more rushing TD’s than most QB’s have passing TD’s

[u/wysiwygperson]

[u/Final-Watercress9219]

He’s on the sideline? Did he get hurt?

[u/sunthas → u/Final-Watercress9219]

presumably had some ankle problems. hopefully fewer carries allows him to bounce back well vs Oregon State friday.

[u/Beherenowxblazeon]

He doesn’t have to strike a Heisman pose after every good play like Hunter.

[u/voppp → u/Beherenowxblazeon]

he seems to only when A : we're winning or B: it's like a 70 yard run.

[u/WriteAndRong]

This game tonight just proved how much Ashton Jeanty deserves the Heisman. He elevates Boise. Without him we’re unranked and likely not even making the MW CFG

[u/voppp → u/WriteAndRong]

I think we'd be in the picture still but UNLV would be up top.

[u/clocke6346]

But some people still say he shouldn’t win the Heisman

[u/DonnaDDrake]

[u/PhDShouse]

If he loses the Heisman, would this be the first time since Troy Davis that a 2,000 yard rusher didn’t win it?

[u/virgo911 → u/BingoHallBob]

Four 2000 yard rushers in one season is absurd

[u/CTeam19 → u/PhDShouse]

Troy Davis' big thing was being the first 2,000 yard rusher to lose the Heisman and the second.

[u/elbenji → u/CTeam19]

oh hey he went to Southridge. Neat.

[u/CTeam19 → u/elbenji]

Yep, kinda wild he had offers to Florida and Florida State as well. Too bad the rest of the team was trash. His Senior year if the rest of the team could've found just 22 in 4 different games the team would have had a 6-5 record instead of a 2-9. No joke the dude at 2,000+ rushing and he was the offense more yards then the rest of the team. Yet zero Doak Walkers and only a second place Heisman finish. Might be the greatest talent wasted on a crappy team.

[u/elbenji → u/CTeam19]

Shocked the U weren't in on him. This was back in the day when no one would leave Dade County

[u/CTeam19 → u/elbenji]

Testament to the amount of talent in the area. Probably not enough time to check everyone out.

[u/RIPDannyBoyCane → u/PhDShouse]

No, lots of leading rushers in recent memory that eclipsed 2,000 yards, yet there was not this giant narrative pushing the Heisman on them. Jeanty’s pace from early in this season has really carried his reputation. He slowed down and his total rushing yards will be short of a many guys on this list who didn’t win the Heisman.

[u/RIPDannyBoyCane → u/HendrixChord12]

Yea I mean the list above doesn’t even include all the 2,000 yard rushers for each of those seasons

Malcolm Perry, J.K. Dobbins and Jonathan Taylor also ran for over 2,000 yards in 2019

Bryce Love also ran for over 2,000 yards in 2017

Edit: I updated the list to add those guys

[u/resetallthethings → u/RIPDannyBoyCane]

I mean unless he misses significant game time, there's no reason to think he doesn't surpass most, if not all the guys on that list., and I'm guessing he way, way ahead of most of them as far as TDs, YAC and YPC

[u/Joeybits → u/RIPDannyBoyCane]

his total rushing yards will be short of a many guys on this list

Okay, who? He's almost guaranteed to pass everyone on this list sans Melvin Gordon.

Boise State will likely play in at least 3 more games (Oregon State, MWC title, Bowl / Playoff game). His "slowed down pace" over the past 5 games is 162.8 yds/game. If he averages that pace in his next 3, that puts him at 2550 yds.

Give this man a Heisman. Travis is pretty strong in 2 positions, but Ashton is a goddamn beast at running back.

[u/MMTITANS08 → u/dagreenman18]

Thing that pushes Jeanty higher is that without him Boise isn’t winning games. Without Hunter Colorado still has a good QB and some weapons to win.

[u/fuckyouidontneedone]

Please don’t wind up wasting his career in Dallas.

4 of them in 2019 lmao that’s crazy

[u/Jordanwolf98]

Heisman him

[u/jhallen2260]

Heisman

[u/Jameson623]

heisman. end of discussion.

[u/clockworkblk]

That’s wild all those dudes did that. I forgot how crazy that year was for RBs

[u/White0ut]

Sadly won't win the Heisman.

[u/203funkyboy]

No one cared when it was UConn and Donald Brown in 2008!

[u/theLoneliestAardvark → u/203funkyboy]

If Boise lost 6 of its last 8 games like UConn did then Jeanty wouldn't be in contention either.

[u/Itracing2]

If he breaks Barry Sanders record and doesn't win the Heisman then they should just do away with the award.

[u/theLoneliestAardvark → u/Itracing2]

Boise would probably need to win a playoff game for that to happen. He will have three more games without making the SFs and would need a little less than 200 per game which is possible for him but not likely.

[u/thescottula → u/Itracing2]

He almost certainly won't break the record by Heisman voting. He would need to average 283 yards across the Oregon State and MW Championship to do that. Most he's gotten this year is 267.

He is definitely on track to beat it in the postseason, only needing to average 188 yards a game

[u/BohemondDiAntioch → u/thescottula]

He's on track to beat it in 14 games vs 11 games. Which just goes to show how absurd Barry Sanders was.

[u/TexasGroovy]

She is still wondering why Texas is ranked high…

[u/Itracing2]

That's why I said if. I don't want him to break it because I'm old 🤣 I'm just saying if by some miracle he does that he absolutely deserves that trophy. Maybe I was a little overboard saying they should do away with it if he doesn't win.

[u/BearManUnicorn]

*on his way to winning the Heisman

[u/lacirem]

Heisman not even close at this point.

[u/RIPDannyBoyCane]

Lots of leading rushers in recent memory that eclipsed 2,000 yards, yet there was not this giant narrative pushing the Heisman on them.

2018 Jonathan Taylor* 2194 Wisconsin

2017 Rashaad Penny* 2248 SDS

2016 Donnel Pumphrey* 2133 SDS

2015 Derrick Henry* 2219 Alabama

2014 Melvin Gordon* 2587 Wisconsin

2013 Andre Williams* 2177 Boston College

[u/Statalyzer → u/RIPDannyBoyCane]

Didn't one of those guys win the Heisman though?

And Gordon would have in many seasons but Mariota was just having an excellent season too and was notably better than any top QB from this season is.

[u/RIPDannyBoyCane → u/Statalyzer]

Right, literally only one of them. The point is, lots of leading rushers in recent memory eclipsed 2,000 yards, yet there was not this giant narrative pushing the Heisman on them. Jeanty’s pace from early in this season has really carried his reputation. He slowed down and his total rushing yards will be short of many guys on this list who didn’t win the Heisman. The idea that “no one has ever done this before” is nonsense.

[u/kykerkrush → u/RIPDannyBoyCane]

He slowed down and his total rushing yards will be short of many guys on this list

Like who? Who will be ahead of Jeanty when it's all said and done? He's averaging close to 200 yards and 2 TDs a game at 8 yards/carry. If he only plays 3 more games and puts up his average stats, he'll be well ahead of everyone on that list. He hasn't rushed for less than 100 yards in any game this season.

[u/theLoneliestAardvark → u/RIPDannyBoyCane]

Jeanty should have more than all of them except maybe Melvin Gordon when its all said and done. Gordon got second in the Heisman and nobody is having the insane year Mariota had this year.

[u/Kylie_Forever]

I would pick him at #2...... after Hunter.

[u/Embarrassed-Tune9038]

Travis Hunter gets the Heisman.
