Ashton Jeanty, a Jacksonville-born running back for the Boise State Broncos, is on the verge of snapping the cold spell of running backs winning the Heisman Trophy, and he’s doing it in a way that is possibly more impressive than Derrick Henry, another Florida native.

Ashton Jeanty, the nation’s leading rusher, didn’t play up to his standards but still rushed for 128 yards and the winning touchdown to help No. 17 Boise State beat UNLV 29-24 on Friday night in a game with College Football Playoff implications.

Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty is a unanimous selection and Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter occupies two first-team positions on The Associated Press midseason All-America team.

Atticus Sappington kicked a 25-yard field goal as time expired to give No. 7 Oregon a 37-34 victory over resilient Boise State on Saturday night.
