Well, looks like fans were right hyping up Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty in his race for the Heisman Trophy against Colorado two-way superstar Travis Hunter. After a dominating victory against the San Jose State, Jeanty indeed paced up to Hunter’s odds, becoming a frontrunner like the wide receiver.

Besides Hunter, if anyone has stunned college football fans with his stats each week, it’s the Boise State star running back. The Week 12 game was another testament to it after Jeanty clinched the frontrunner spot for the grand Heisman Trophy.

In the final nine minutes of the game, Boise State took possession of the ball after forcing a punt where the star running back showcased his prowess with a 12-play, 89-yard drive with his third touchdown.
