Good Morning, Boise State 9/17: Ashton Jeanty, Force of Nature

Former Raiders rival and Bolts great Shawne Merriman called Jeanty "shifty as hell" after the Monday night Las Vegas Raiders game.

Good Morning, Bronco Nation! Athlon Sports’ Lorenzo J. Reyna writes, “The Las Vegas Raiders and Ashton Jeanty tasted defeat together for the first time ever. Yet one Chargers legend couldn’t help but praise the ‘shifty as hell’ rookie running back.”

Jeanty finished with 43 rushing yards on 11 carries in the 20-9 Monday Night Football loss. Former Raiders rival and Bolts great Shawne Merriman watched the game, and then tweeted, “Ashton Jeanty is shifty as hell he’s going to be a problem for a long time sheesh.”

Monday night was also an epic Boise State football reunion for Jeanty and Scott Matlock: 👇🏼
