10 wild Ashton Jeanty memes cracking up the internet after Boise state RB chokes against Penn State

After No. 6 Penn State's dominant Fiesta Bowl victory(31-14), social media erupted with memes aimed at Ashton Jeanty. The No. 3 Boise State running back, a Heisman Trophy runner-up and FBS rushing leader with 2,497 yards during the regular season, had a tough outing against Penn State's defense. Jeanty managed just 104 yards on 30 carries—his lowest performance of the season, averaging only 3.5 yards per attempt.

Penn State’s defense was relentless, with head coach James Franklin commending his team for shutting down the star RB.

Fans took to the internet with ruthless memes, mocking Jeanty’s performance.

Here are the most hilarious ones making the rounds:

Boise State's Ashton Jeanty is one of the top running backs in college football

Boise State's Ashton Jeanty has cemented his place as one of the top running backs in college football. Leading the FBS during the regular season, Jeanty had an incredible 2,497 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns.

To put that in perspective, no other player in the 2024 season has surpassed 1,700 rushing yards, and only one—Army's Bryson Daily, with 32 touchdowns—has more rushing scores.

Despite his remarkable season, Jeanty faced heavy online trolling after a lackluster first-half performance in No. 3 Boise State's matchup against Penn State.
