Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty surpassed 2,000 rushing yards for the season in just 11 games during the matchup against Wyoming, becoming the first running back to reach this milestone since 2019 and drawing comparisons to Barry Sanders. Despite Jeanty's achievement, Boise State, ranked No. 12 and projected as the No. 4 seed in the College Football Playoff bracket, struggled against a 2-8 Wyoming team. The game was tied 10-10 at halftime and remained deadlocked entering the fourth quarter. Jeanty left the game in the third quarter due to injury and entered the medical tent but was set to return. Boise State's offense faced challenges, including missed passes by quarterback Maddux Madsen and a turnover on downs, while the defense held Wyoming in check. The outcome of the game remained uncertain as the fourth quarter commenced.
