Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty's historic 2024 season by the numbers

Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty is having a season for the ages.

Rushing for a jaw-dropping 2,497 yards and 29 touchdowns, Jeanty helped lead the Broncos to a 12-1 record, a Mountain West title and a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff; they'll face the winner of No. 11 SMU and No. 6 Penn State in the quarterfinal round. 

Jeanty won the Doak Walker Award, which is given to the "most outstanding running back" in the nation, and is a finalist for the 2024 Heisman Trophy Award.

In any other season, Jeanty could also claim Heisman honors, but Colorado Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter (92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns as a wide receiver and four interceptions as a cornerback) is the consensus favorite to win the award. Nonetheless, Jeanty is having one of the best seasons a running back has had in collegiate history.

Here's Jeanty's historic 2024 campaign by the numbers:

0: Jeanty has six games with 200 rushing yards and one rushing score. How many such games do all the other CFP teams combine for this season? Zero, which is also the number of games Jeanty has failed to rush for 100 yards this season.

115: Jeanty isn't just the leading rusher in the nation. He has more rushing yards than 115 of 134 FBS teams.

837: The Boise State star has 837 more rushing yards than the No. 2 rusher in the nation, North Carolina's Omarion Hampton, who has rushed for 1,660 yards and 15 touchdowns on 5.9 yards per carry. 

7: Jeanty has rushed for more yards than seven of the 12 teams in the CFP: Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Ohio State, Indiana, SMU and Clemson.

3: Jeanty has three games with 200-plus rushing yards and three-plus rushing touchdowns. No power conference player has more than one such game.
