The Boise State Broncos will be expecting Heisman runner-up Ashton Jeanty to make an impact on the offense for the team. The RB has been exceptional this season with 2,497 yards and 29 touchdowns rushing, just a few yards shy of breaking Barry Sanders' single-season rushing record.
If Penn State wants to win against the Broncos, then the defense will have to come up with ways to limit Ashton Jeanty's rushing game. QB Drew Allar will also have to pull up his socks and put up a better performance than he did against SMU in the first round, where he recorded only 127 passing yards.
