Boise State's Fiesta Bowl Hurdle: Ashton Jeanty's Remarkable Season and What's Next
January 2, 2025 at 10:32 AM
Boise State's historic season culminated in a 31-14 loss to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl, showcasing the challenges of competing at the highest level. Despite a record-breaking campaign by Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty, the Broncos struggled offensively against the Nittany Lions' superior defense. Jeanty, a two-time Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year, fell just short of Barry Sanders' FBS single-season rushing record, highlighting his incredible junior year. The defeat raises questions about Boise State's future without key players like Jeanty, as they aim to maintain their dominance in college football.
