Ashton Jeanty surpasses 200 yards again in win over Boise State

HONOLULU – Ashton Jeanty rushed for 237 all-purpose yards and scored two touchdowns to lead No. 17 Boise State to a 28-7 victory 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 September 7th.

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

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

Boise State finished with points on its first three possessions. Jonah Dalmas hit field goals of 24 and 23 yards around Jeanty's 54-yard touchdown run to give the Broncos a 13-0 lead with 7:06 left in the first half.

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

Jeanty came into 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 had 15 carries for 115 yards by halftime.

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

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 final minutes.

Madsen completed 17 of 25 passes for 217 yards.
