BOISE STATE, IDAHO – It was a beautiful day for some college football on the Blue! More than 37,000 fans poured into Albertsons Stadium for the Broncos’ home game against the Utah State Aggies.

But all eyes were on No. 2 pick Ashton Jeanty as the Heisman candidate entered the game leading the nation in what seemed like every possible offensive statistic and was just 155 yards shy of the season’s thousand yards mark.

“I believe I’m going to see him in New York for the Heisman. I believe that because I see him working,” said Head Coach Spencer Danielson when asked about Ashton Jeanty’s performance.

The first quarter started hot. In fact, on the first offensive play, Jeanty took the ball 63 yards down the field to put the Broncos on the board. But he would later top that with a 75-yard dash to the end zone in the second quarter.

Jeanty had a game of his own that ultimately surpassed the thousand-yard mark, rushing for 186 yards on just 13 carries with an extra trip to the endzone on top of his first two. But Jeanty wasn’t the only Bronco with a hat trick.

Quarterback Maddux Madsen went 21/25 in passing, for 256 yards and three touchdowns, putting all his weapons on display and connecting with ten different players through the air.

But one of the biggest moments of the night came immediately after a huge touchdown pass by Utah State. Bronco running back Dylan Riley said, “Anything you can do, I can do better” and took the kick 96 yards all the way to the house.

Special teams, special plays, special players, like senior kicker Jonah Dalmas who got his share of the spotlight and broke the Mountain West field goal record with his 84th. That also made him the Broncos’ all-time leading scorer.

Dalmas expressed his thoughts after the match, saying: “I’m very grateful and honoured. But I couldn’t do the things I do without the staff and these players in the team. They give me all the motivation.” So it’s really a blessing to be able to make that happen tonight.”

But even on such a big night with a 62-30 win, coach Danielson made it clear: the job isn’t done yet.

“You have to learn and grow from the wins. The best teams learn and grow even when they win, and we have to do that,” Danielson exclaimed.
