Boise State’s Jeanty is the best back in the nation. Penn State’s duo could be right behind him

Associated Press  

Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty is the best running back in the country, with the stats and the hardware to prove it. Yet when Jeanty is on the sideline on New Year’s Eve when Boise State faces sixth-seeded Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl, he might be looking at the top running back tandem in college football. While it took Penn State a while to get going, after early Pick-6s by Dominic DeLuca and Tony Rojas staggered the Mustangs, Allen and Singleton spent most of the next two quarters finishing SMU off. Yet it’s telling of just how special a season Jeanty is having that Singleton and Allen’s combined rushing yardage — 1,820 through 14 games — is still nearly 700 yards shy of the 2,497 the Heisman runner-up produced by himself.
