Ashton Jeanty Falls Short In College Football Playoff Quarterfinals

Boise State quarterback Maddux Madsen hands off to running back Ashton Jeanty (2) during the first half of the Fiesta Bowl NCAA college football CFP quarterfinal game against Penn State, Tuesday, Dec.

Boise State's star running back, Ashton Jeanty, faced a tough night as his team fell to Penn State 31-14 in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. Jeanty, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, was held to a season-low 104 yards on 30 carries, struggling to find running room against Penn State's stout defense.

Despite finishing the season with an impressive 2,601 rushing yards, Jeanty fell just short of the FBS single-season record set by Barry Sanders in 1988. Penn State's defense, led by a disruptive D-line and solid tackling, managed to contain Jeanty and prevent him from reaching the record.
