Jeanty eclipses 200 yards again in Boise St. rout

NCAAF

HONOLULU — Ashton Jeanty accounted for 237 all-purpose yards and scored two touchdowns to lead No. 17 Boise State to a 28-7 win over Hawaii on Saturday night.

The Broncos (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) ran their winning streak to four games since their narrow loss at then-No. 3 Oregon on Sept. 7.

The Rainbow Warriors (2-4, 0-2) have lost four of their past five games.

Jeanty, the leading rusher in FBS, had a season-high 31 carries for 217 yards. It was his third game this season that he has eclipsed the 200-yard mark and the fifth of his career.

Boise State capped its first three possessions with scores. Jonah Dalmas sandwiched field goals of 24 and 23 yards around Jeanty’s 54-yard touchdown run to put the Broncos up 13-0 with 7:06 left in the first half.

Jeanty found a crease behind the right side of his offensive line before he bounced it to the perimeter and went untouched to the end zone. It was his seventh touchdown run of at least 50 yards this year.

Jeanty entered the game averaging 10.9 yards per carry and 206.3 rushing yards per game.

Jeanty had 93 yards on eight carries after one quarter and was up to 15 rushes for 115 yards by halftime.

Hawaii’s score came with 3:24 left in the second quarter on a 28-yard touchdown pass from Brayden Schager to Tylan Hines.

After a scoreless third quarter, Boise State found some breathing room with a 5-yard TD pass from Maddux Madsen to Jeanty a few minutes into the final period. Madsen hit Austin Bolt for a 44-yard scoring strike in the closing minutes.

Madsen finished 17-of-25 passing for 217 yards.
