Boise State, Ashton Jeanty steamroll UNLV to win Mountain West, close in on Playoff auto bid

New York Times  

BOISE, Idaho — No. Boise State got another spectacular performance from star running back Ashton Jeanty on Friday. Friday marked Boise State’s second straight Mountain West championship and fifth since joining the conference in 2011. Should it earn the first-round bye, Boise State will likely begin its CFP path in the Dec. 31 Fiesta Bowl, site of the program’s famous win over Oklahoma in 2007. It’s been a remarkable 13 months for Boise State, which sat at 5-5 last season when AD Jeremiah Dickey fired head coach Andy Avalos on Nov. 13 and promoted defensive coordinator Spencer Danielson to be interim head coach.
