Jeanty has two long TDs and Boise State beats Air Force to stay in running for MWC title game berth
BOISE, Idaho (AP) Ashton Jeanty went over 100 yards both rushing and receiving and scored two touchdowns to lead Boise State to a 27-19 win over Air Force on Friday, keeping the Broncos' hopes alive for a berth in the Mountain West Conference championship game with their third straight win.
If league leader UNLV (6-1) defeats San Jose State (5-2) on Saturday, the Broncos (7-5, 6-2) will go to Las Vegas to take on the Rebels on Dec. 2. A Spartans win would create a three-way deadlock and computer rankings would come into play as a tiebreaker.
Boise State scored first and led thereafter but didn't have the game in hand until Kaonohi Kaniho's interception at midfield with 13 seconds left.
Jeanty turned a screen pass into a 75-yard touchdown late in the first half that ended with the Broncos leading 17-6. He burst through the middle for a 50-yard score and a 24-12 lead early in the third quarter.
Late in the third quarter, Jayden Goodwin made Air Force’s second interception and it led to Dylan Carson's 2-yard TD run to trail 24-19.
Jonah Dalmas kicked a 52-yard field goal with 4 1/2 minutes left for the final points.
Jeanty finished with 107 yards on 14 carries and 118 yards receiving on five catches. He's the first Broncos player with both 100-plus rushing and passing yards in a game since Jeremy McNichols in October 2016. Taylen Green threw for 228 yards with a passing and a rushing touchdown and was intercepted twice.
John Busha came on in relief of first-time starter Ben Brittain late in the first half for the Falcons and was 8-of-17 passing for 131 yards and a touchdown plus a rushing touchdown. Carson had 132 yards rushing with a score on 12 carries.
Air Force (8-4, 5-3) has lost four straight.
The victory was the second in two games for interim head coach Spencer Danielson, who took over for Andy Avalos, who was fired two weeks ago.
