I live in Boise and it is the talk of the town after everyone was so excited about Nelson coming to BSU. I say "talk of the town" but reality is that most the town is at a farmer's market during games, kind of a pathetic fanbase overall. You have your Walmart shopping Bronco fans that know nothing about the team and your rabid fans that think they will beat Oregon in Week 2, pretty much no in between.

I don't get the hype on them being the best G5 team

They were 8-6 last year and you can argue that they aren't even the best team in the MWC.

The QB situation sounds super rocky now too, they got a hell of a running game but they lost a lot of key pieces in the passing game.

They are lucky though and miss both Fresno State and Air Force in the regular season, guess that helps.

Don't sleep on UNLV. They're my pick to win the MWC and make the playoff.

There's 4 maybe 5 capable teams in the MWC, I think they will end up cannibalizing eachother too much for any to make the playoff

The conference looks very deep for a G5 going into the season, there's really only 3 teams i'd say are actually terrible and have no shot to make any noise (New Mexico, Nevada & San Jose State, Hawaii is kind of on the borderline but they are more capable than those 3)

BSU fans are delusional and still believe they are in the Kellen Moore glory days. That said, they are going to likely be improved this year if they sort out the QB situation.

Most years I would expect to see them barely have a winning record like the last season. I'll probably go to a game and tailgate though just because it's college football, of course it's not remotely like being in the Shoe but usually it's a good time. Other than getting flack for wearing my Ohio State gear haha.

If this guy isn’t in New York in December, we riot.​

Just sayin': This guy is putting up some pretty good numbers and they have actually played a couple good teams (i.e. Oregon and Washington State).

Jeanty's epic run continues, now Heisman fave

Jeanty turns 13 carries into 186 yards as Boise State rolls​

Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty continued his record-chasing run to Heisman Trophy front-runner status Saturday night in the No. 21 Broncos' 62-30 win over visiting Utah State.

Jeanty surpassed 1,000 rushing yards on the season on just his 90th carry and produced 186 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 13 attempts in the first half of the blowout win. He tied an FBS record in needing just five games to achieve 1,000 rushing yards.

"First off, Ashton Jeanty? Best player in the country. Next question," Boise State coach Spencer Danielson said.

The junior running back has rushed for 1,031 yards and 16 touchdowns on 10.9 yards per carry for the 4-1 Broncos and is now averaging 206.2 rushing yards per game. His 1,031 yards through five games ranks eighth most in FBS history, according to ESPN Research.

Jeanty turned his first carry versus Utah State into a 63-yard touchdown. He scored on a 75-yard run early in the second quarter, eclipsing the Mountain West Conference's single-season record for 70-yard rushing touchdowns in a season with his fourth. Jeanty has seven rushes of 60 or more yards on the campaign, tied for most in the FBS in a single season over the past 20 years.

Through five games, Jeanty is on pace with Barry Sanders' record-breaking 1988 season. Sanders had 1,002 rushing yards on 130 carries through the first five games of his Heisman-winning season at Oklahoma State and went on to finish with an FBS-record 2,628 yards and 37 touchdowns.

Jeanty emerged as the favorite to win the Heisman and was listed at 2.5-1 by ESPN BET on Saturday night. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe had been the betting favorite entering the day, but his odds lengthened to 12-1 at ESPN BET after Vanderbilt upset the No. 1-ranked Crimson Tide earlier Saturday.

"I believe that he's going to be in New York for the Heisman," Danielson said of Jeanty. "I believe that, because I see him work. Because I see the teammate he is. This isn't a flash in the pan."
