Ashton Jeanty performed exactly like the dynamic, powerful running back he has been ever since he arrived in the Treasure Valley.

21 Boise State rolled to a 62-30 victory over Utah State in a Mountain West football game in front of a sold out Homecoming crowd Saturday evening at Albertsons Stadium. “First of all, I can’t give enough praise to Boise State, how they played, how they completed and how they executed,” USU interim head coach Nate Dreiling said. “That’s one of the better teams in the country and they show (that) week in and week out.
It’s where we need to get to from a physicality standpoint. I think they set the tone on that and we have some catching up to do, which is not good. We know what we have to do, we know what the bar is, especially moving to the Pac-12 (Conference).

Boise State, which led 49-17 at the half, scored on six straight possessions — four TDs and a pair of field goals .
