Boise State's Ashton Jeanty is the best running back in the country, with the stats and the hardware to prove it.
Jeanty's ever-churning legs are the biggest — but not only — reasons why the Broncos stormed to a 12-1 record and the third seed in the College Football Playoff.

At least, that's the way the Nittany Lions duo of Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen look at it.
