BOISE, Idaho (AP) — After Ashton Jeanty streaked through the middle of UNLV’s defense on his way to a 75-yard touchdown run Friday night in the Mountain West Conference title game, he didn’t strike the Heisman pose.

He didn’t even lobby for it after the game, instead letting his play do the talking.

“I think the same thing week after week,” Jeanty said of all the Heisman Trophy hype after No. 10 Boise State beat No. 19 UNLV 21-7 to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff. “Not only is this one of the best teams in the nation, but they’ve got one of the best players in the nation.”

Jeanty added another 209 yards — his sixth game over 200 yards this season — to push his total to 2,497 — just 132 yards short of passing Barry Sanders’ FBS season rushing record.

Boise State coach Spencer Danielson, who sprinted down the sideline for a few yards with Jeanty — playing his final game in Boise — on the long run, wasn’t quiet at all after the game.
