🔼 Giving Him His Flowers. For the second consecutive season, Ashton Jeanty has been named a finalist for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award. The award is presented annually to the nation's most outstanding Division I offensive player who graduated from a Texas high school or plays at a four-year college in Texas. The running back has set the Boise State and Mountain West single-season record for rushing yards (2,497), a mark that stands fourth in FBS single-season history. He has scored a nation-high 30 total touchdowns, including 29 on the ground.

🔼 Stayed Together. Boise State women’s basketball took game one of the Husky Classic, coming out with a 74-65 win against Furman on Wednesday afternoon. Dani Bayes and Natalie Pasco accounted for 39 of the Broncos’ points while Teryn Gardner added another 10. The team will be back at it today as the Blue and Orange face off against North Dakota State at 1 p.m.

🔼 Well-Deserved. Boise State football head coach Spencer Danielson was named a finalist for the George Munger Award. A prestigious honor in college football, the award is given annually to the sport's most outstanding coach. In his first full season at the helm, Danielson led the Broncos to a 12-1 season, a MW title, and the No. 3 seed in the College Football Playoff.
