Is Ashton Jeanty the Next Barry Sanders? Boise State’s Rushing Sensation on the Verge of History!
Sanders’ season is the best in the history of the sport at any position, in my view, and in reality, it’s better than the record books show. Sanders did his work at a time when the NCAA didn’t count bowl game stats toward a player’s totals, but his real rushing record is 2,850 yards on a 7.6-yard average. No player at any level of college or professional football has ever run for that many yards.
Jeanty is a long way from home, but through nearly half a regular season, he is pacing to give Sanders a scare. The Boise State back is averaging 206.2 yards per game, which would leave him at 2,474 over a 12-game regular season. (And 12 is how many games Sanders had to reach 2,850).
