Ashton Jeanty is chasing history. Through six games of the 2024 season, the Boise State Broncos running back has already amassed 1,248 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns.
The only other running back in the country to have eclipsed 1,000 yards — Kaleb Johnson of the Iowa Hawkeyes — has played in seven games.
Jeanty is the runaway favorite to finish first in just about every conceivable rushing statistic this season. But he could be on track for even more.
Legendary Oklahoma State Cowboys and Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders currently holds the FBS records for most rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a single season, posting 2,628 and 37 respectively in 1988.
