Be so powerful that even the toughest program would have to apply antics that are ethically wrong to stop you. That’s how the UNLV Rebels are processing now while facing off against the Boise State Broncos. As expected, Spencer Danielson’s RB Ashton Jeanty raged through the gridiron, leaving HC Bary Odom’s Rebels in a pool of cold sweat.

So somehow, UNLV had to stop Jeanty from attacking by hook or crook. But hardly did the CFB fans expect UNLV to choose the sly way. But not to worry, the RB is back again, leaving fans to shower good wishes pumping their favorite athlete online. 

Jeanty’s Heisman hopes shaken up by UNLV’s unimpressive act

This season, Jeanty has been quite a name. Coming off a fresh win over Miami and presenting a boisterous feat carrying the pigskin 31 times for 217 yards, expectations were high for him on Friday, October 25. Looks like the Rebels had already done some homework on the player. So, when against UNLV, Jeanty came up with a record rushing pace, Odom had already had a plan ready for the rival RB to stop him early. They went hard on tackling him and finally accomplished their mission.

With 6 minutes and 5 seconds left for quarter 2 to get over, Jeanty was running full force, tightly holding onto the pigskin. A UNLV player came midway and sort of took a dive at the RB’s legs, and the Heisman contender lost his balance and landed awkwardly, injuring his left elbow. Just as Jeanty crashed on the gridiron, his Heisman odds could also see a dip.

Till now, the Boise State RB has been an alluring contender who got compared to the last three RB Heisman winners—Reggie Bush, Derrick Henry, and Mark Ingram. So, no matter how much the Rebels try to break Jeanty’s spirit, he has got a loaded team of supporters. 

Fans drop in with hopeful predictions for Ashton Jeanty

Jeanty reeled in all the support when he succeeded in surpassing Travis Hunter, who was hailed as the top contender in the Heisman race. From then on, he has been a hot topic of discussion among the fans. One of them just got vocal and exposed Rebels’ LBs for applying shallow schemes: “UNLV has landed on an interesting strategy for trying to stop Jeanty. Their linebackers are NOT coming downhill, but rather playing a mirror picket fence at 5 yards from the LOS. Very much a strategy to avoid explosives, and it appears to be working.”

Another die-hard fan pinpointed how the RB gives his blood, sweat, and tears to the game only to land it big with the Heisman. “Jeanty is playing through some pain right now. You can see it on his face after every play. The dude has a lot of heart to go with all that talent,” a fan wrote. The injured athlete’s pain left a fan with a ‘Show what more you got’ attitude for the Rebels, as he is sure enough about Jeanty’s power to beat all odds: “UNLV KEEP HITTING JEANTY LOVE THIS DEFENSE ✅✅✅✅”

It took Jeanty to throw 54 yards on 15 carries to leave the UNLV Rebels in panic mode that they squeezed the last drop the defense had to offer, “UNLV still in this game cause they making sure they don’t miss that last line of defense tackle on jeanty lmao.”

“Jeanty is 100% going to break one soon. UNLVs defense is starting to give up chunk plays to him,” another hopeful fan dropped a bold prediction exposing the cracks in Odom’s defense. Now that he is tapping his arm, Ashton Jeanty is back in action. Even if Miami’s Cam Ward and Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel make it tough for him to win the Heisman Trophy, Jeanty is a true warrior.
