2010 Season Outlook
2010 Season Outlook
2010 Boise State Football
6
The 2010 football season will be full of excitement for Boise State as the Broncos enter one of the most anticipated seasons in program history. Despite coming off its second undefeated season and second Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Championship in four years, Boise State is looking for bigger and better things this fall. The Broncos return 21 starters from a 2009 team that finished 14-0 en route to capturing their seventh Western Athletic Conference title in eight seasons. Head Coach Chris Petersen, who enters his fifth season at the helm, boasts a 49-4 career record at Boise State. He has also compiled an incredible 31-1 record against WAC opponents while leading the Broncos to three conference titles in four years. Experience will be Petersen’s biggest asset in 2010 as he will lead a Boise State team that is bolstered by a strong group of upper classmen. The Broncos’ 21 returning starters, 19 of which are juniors or seniors. Boise State lost just two starters on offense and one on defense from last season, which gives a world of promise for great things to come. On offense the Broncos return experienced players at every skill position including a slew of talented receivers and running backs that led the offense in 2009. Boise State will be anchored, however, by an offensive line that returns a battle tested group that helped make the Broncos one of the most dangerous offenses in the nation last year. There will be plenty of buzz surrounding the Boise State defense this season as well, as the Broncos return nearly everyone from last year’s “big game” defense. Boise State returns four seniors and five juniors that started a year ago. Their experience will give the Broncos much needed depth in the trenches, at linebacker and in the secondary. It wouldn’t be a Boise State attack if it wasn’t balanced, however, which makes the Bronco special teams unit a big point of emphasis this season. Fortunately for Coach Petersen his special teams group is as experienced as it gets, with a fourth-year starting place kicker and punter as well as some of the most dynamic punt and kick returners in college football. Boise State returns nearly everyone from the 2009 unit that finished the year ranked No. 1 nationally by Phil Steele’s Special Teams Ratings formula. The formula incorporates net punting, kick returns, punt returns, kick return defense, blocked kicks/touchdowns, kick-off touchbacks and field goal success.
OFFENSE Quarterbacks - The biggest question concerning Boise State’s quarterback situation heading into the 2010 season is what can junior Kellen Moore (6-0, 186) do to improve upon exceptional freshman and sophomore campaigns with the Broncos? After compiling the most impressive freshman year by any quarterback in school history, Moore followed it up with a record setting season in 2009.
Moore broke the Boise State record for single season touchdown throws (39), while also setting the Football Bowl Subdivision record for pass attempt to interception ratio at 0.69% (3 of 431). He finished the season ranked No. 2 nationally for pass efficiency rating (161.65) and touchdown passes thrown. Moore finished the year with a 64.3 competion percentage (277-of-431) with 3,536 passing yards. Moore’s outstanding sophomore season earned him WAC Offensive Player of the Year honors, as well as first team All-American honors by ESPN.com, SI.com and CBSSports.com. He was also named third team All-American by the Associated Press before finishing seventh in the 2009 Heisman Trophy voting. Providing back up for Moore this fall will be senior Michael Coughlin (6-5, 218), who saw action in eight games for the Broncos in 2009. Coughlin completed 12-of-19 pass attempts for 50 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. Boise State will also add a pair of redshirt freshmen to the quarterback mix this year in Joe Southwick (6-1, 182) and Mike Tamburo (5-11, 183). Southwick had an exceptional first year with the Broncos as he earned 2009 Scout Team Offensive Player of the Year honors. Running Backs - The Boise State rushing attack could be by committee this year as the Broncos return an extremely deep backfield in 2010. Boise State has four running backs on roster that all eclipsed the 100-yard mark in a single game at least once in 2009, which helped the Broncos average 186.07 rushing yards per game. The bulk of their experience come from senior Jeremy Avery (5-9, 179) and juniors Doug Martin (5-9, 212) and D.J. Harper (5-9, 203). Avery returns the most experience of the bunch having seen considerable action over the past three seasons. As a junior, Avery led the Broncos with 1,151 rushing yards. He averaged 82.2 yards per game while finding the end zone six times on the ground. Perhaps his biggest attribute, however, is as a receiving back for Moore. Last season he finished fourth on the team in receptions, catching 23 passes for 257 yards and one touchdown. For his production as a rusher and receiver, Avery was named second team AllWAC. Martin was a redzone workhorse for the Broncos during his sophmore campaign, scoring a team high 15 rushing touchdowns. His power doesn’t overshadow his speed, however, as he also carried the football 129 times for 765 yards. He averaged 54.6 yards per game giving Boise State a nice balance of strength to go with Avery’s speed. Harper will provide the most interesting mix to the running back equation, as he was the Broncos’ leading rusher through three games before going down with a season ending injury at Fresno State. In his first three games last year Harper averaged 94.7 rushing yards per game on just 44 carries. He managed to find the endzone three times while averaging 6.5 yards per carry.
2010 Boise State Football Competing for additional carries at running back will be senior Jarvis Hodge (5-9, 203) and sophomore Matt Kaiserman (6-0, 188). Hodge saw action in eight games as a junior, carrying the football 21 times for 114 yards and one touchdown. Kaiserman played sparingly in 2009, seeing action in just four games before going down with a season ending injury as well. The highlight of his freshman season came at Hawai’i where he rushed for 126 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries. Leading the way blocking for the Boise State backfield will be junior fullback Dan Paul (6-0, 241), who stepped in to start the final four games of the year after three-year starter Richie Brockel went down with a season ending injury. Paul returns the most experience at fullback this fall having played in 12 games last season. Aside from blocking, Paul did prove to be a receiving option for Moore as well. He had a career game against Nevada in which he caught three touchdown passes on three receptions.
Tight Ends - Boise State returns a balanced group of tight ends in 2010 that the Broncos will look to utilize in a variety of ways. Senior Tommy Gallarda (6-5, 249) and junior Kyle Efaw (6-4, 229) both return a world of experience and also provide a great deal of versatility in what they bring to the offense. Gallarda has excelled as a blocking tight end but has shown his capabilities as a receiving threat as well. In 2009 he caught just nine passes but did have four of them go for touchdowns. Gallarda’s biggest receiving performance last season came against Tulsa when he had two touchdowns on three receptions. Efaw has developed into more of a consistent passing target for Kellen Moore over the last couple seasons. He finished his sophomore year ranked third on the team in receptions with 31. He tallied 444 receiving yards and found the end zone once. His biggest catch of the season came on special teams, however, when Efaw helped convert a 29-yard fake-punt pass completion on fourth-and-nine, which led to Boise State’s game winning touchdown in the Fiesta Bowl. For his game changing efforts, Efaw was named Offensive MVP of the Fiesta Bowl. Also competing for playing time this season will be senior Sean King (6-3, 240), sophomore Chandler Koch (6-2, 244) and freshman Gabe Linehan (6-3, 213). King played sparingly in 2009, seeing action in four games primarily on special teams. Koch played in 10 games for Boise State as a freshman, but also saw most of his time on the special teams unit. Koch did record two catches for 17 yards. Linehan redshirted last season for the Broncos. Offensive Line - Youth doesn’t always equal inexperience, which is exactly the case with the Bronco offensive line this season. Despite entering 2010 with six underclassmen expected to be in the mix for playing time, Boise State will also have at least six players competing for playing time that saw action in at least 10 games last fall. The Broncos return almost the entire o-line unit from 2009 that led the nation’s highest scoring offense (42.21 ppg). The offensive line also paved the way for an offensive attack that was 10th nationally in total offense (450.21); with passing and rushing games that both ranked in the top-30 in the country. Most impressively, however, the Boise State o-line allowed the fewest quarterback sacks (5) of any team in the nation. This season there will be a great deal of competition for playing time on the offensive line, starting with a pair of underclassmen at left tackle. Sophomore Faraji Wright (6-3, 295) and freshman Charles Leno Jr. (6-3, 278) are expected to battle for the starting spot despite having the least amount of game experience on this year’s
2010 Season Outlook
Wide Receivers - The talented receiving corps that Boise State returns this season will be a huge asset for Moore. The Broncos top two receivers, seniors Austin Pettis (6-3, 197) and Titus Young (5-11, 168) will lead the way once again giving Boise State a dynamic one-two punch of speed and size. The duo combined for 142 receptions, 1,896 receiving yards and 24 touchdown catches a year ago. Pettis has become Moore’s favorite red-zone target over the past two seasons, which was apparent in 2009 when he caught a school record 14 touchdown passes. He broke the Boise State single season touchdown receptions record with a four TD performance against Idaho. He finished the year with 63 receptions for 855 yards, despite missing the last regular season game and playing sparingly in the Fiesta Bowl due to injury. Following his extremely productive season Pettis was named first team All-WAC. Young led the Broncos in receiving with 79 catches for 1,041 yards and 10 receiving touchdowns. In 2009 he developed into more of a possession receiver to compliment his ability as a deep threat. Young’s versatility also brings a lot to the Boise State rushing attack, as he scored three rushing touchdowns on 15 carries as a junior. Young joined Pettis in receiving first team All-WAC honors at receiver. After Young and Pettis, Boise State will look to a big group of receivers that will be battling for playing time this fall. Junior Tyler Shoemaker (6-1, 217) returns the most experience of the bunch having started eight games as a sophomore. He finished the year with 21 receptions for 345 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games of action. Expected to see the most action as backups this fall will be a trio of sophomores; Mitch Burroughs (5-9, 189), Chris Potter (5-9, 164) and Kirby Moore (6-2, 200). Kirby Moore had the most productive freshman season of the three, grabbing 21 passes for 242 yards and two scores in 13 games. Burroughs caught 11 passes for 92 yards and one touchdown in 13 games in 2009, while
Potter grabbed eight passes for 60 yards in 12 games. The Broncos will also have a pair of freshmen competing for playing time in the fall with Aaron Burks (6-2, 186) and Geraldo Hiwat (6-4, 189). Both redshirted last season.

2010 Boise State Football offensive line. Wright played in just four games last year as a freshman, while Leno redshirted his first season at Boise State. Helping to solidify the left side of the offensive line will be junior Nate Potter (6-6, 297), who was a first team AllWAC performer at offensive tackle as a sophomore. Potter played in 13 games last season but really started to come on strong late; starting the last nine games of the season. This spring Potter was moved to guard and is expected to stay there in the fall. He will likely be backed up by senior Matt Slater (6-4, 285), who also played in 13 games last year. Slater started the first five games of the 2009 season at guard. At center Boise State is planning on much more depth than in years past as they return a pair of linemen that will be fighting for the starting center spot in the fall. The Broncos return junior Thomas Byrd (5-11, 279), who started every game at center for Boise State the past two seasons. Byrd will be battling with sophomore Joe Kellogg (6-2, 304) for the starting nod, however, after Kellogg showed an impressive transition from guard to center this offseason. Kellogg saw action in 10 games at guard as a freshman, but is being moved to focus solely on center this season. The right side of the offensive line will also be balanced by a combination of youth and experience, starting with right guard. Senior Will Lawrence (6-2, 300) returns as the starter at right guard having started all 14 games for the Broncos as a junior. Sophomore Bronson Durrant (6-3, 279) is expected to provide depth at right guard as he saw limited action in five games as a reserve lineman in 2009. Rounding out the group of o-lineman will be a pair of sophomores at right tackle in Brenel Myers (6-2, 266) and Michael Ames (6-4, 277). Ames returns the most starting experience, but Myers was extremely impressive late last season. Despite playing in just six games last year, he did earn his second start of the season in the Fiesta Bowl. Ames, meanwhile, played in 10 games with eight starts under his belt as a freshman.
2010 Season Outlook
DEFENSE
8
Defensive Line - Defense was vital in Boise State’s run to a second Fiesta Bowl title, which all started with a breakout year by the Bronco defensive line. The d-line returns all four starters from their punishing front unit, which gives reason to be excited for even better things in 2010. The Bronco defensive ends will boast a trio of players who were key contributors to the defense in 2009. Boise State is led by senior Ryan Winterswyk (6-4, 267) who earned first team All-WAC honors for the second straight season after a dominating performance as a junior. Winterswyk finished the year with 41 tackles, while leading the team in tackles for loss (17.0) and sacks (9.0). He also recorded six quarterback hurries, recovered two fumbles and blocked one kick. Providing back up for Winterswyk will be junior Jarrell Root (6-3, 259), who also made big contributions in 2009. Root finished his sophomore season with 11 tackles, having played in all 14 games.
On the other side of the line at defensive end, junior Shea McClellin (6-3, 258) is expected to get the nod opposite Winterswyk. After missing the first game of the year in 2009 McClellin worked his way into the starting spot in the third week of the season. He went on to start 11 games for the Broncos; recording 36 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. Freshman Kharyee Marshall (6-1, 212) is expected to make a big push for McClellin’s backup role after redshirting last fall. The interior of the Boise State defensive line will be made up of a great combination of speed and power. The Broncos return both starting tackles in juniors Billy Winn (64, 290) and Chase Baker (6-1, 300). The duo proved to be both run stoppers and pass rushers as sophomores, which they hope will carry over again to this fall. Winn enjoyed an outstanding sophomore campaign which culminated with being named second team All-WAC. He finished the season with 44 tackles, while ranking second on the team in tackles for loss (12.5) and sacks (6.0). Winn started all 14 games at tackle in 2009. Battling for playing time behind Winn will be sophomore Michael Atkinson (60, 335) and junior Chuck Hayes (6-2, 292). Atkinson played in nine games as a freshman and recorded nine tackles including 1.0 for loss. Hayes saw action in just three games last year before suffering a season ending injury. He did record four tackles before his year ended. Baker will occupy the other defensive tackle position for Boise State after also starting all 14 games for the Broncos as a sophomore. Baker recorded 37 tackles in 2009, to go along with 4.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks. Sophomore Greg Grimes (6-0, 273) and junior J.P. Nisby (6-1, 314) are expected to battle for playing time behind Baker. Grimes record three tackles in four games as a freshman. Nisby saw action in 10 games last year, where he tallied 12 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. Linebackers - Playing time will be hard to come by at linebacker once again for the Broncos as Boise State returns five players that saw action in at least 12 games last year. In a talented group that could start in a combination of ways, Coach Petersen looks to a bunch of upperclassmen to step forward in 2010. At MIKE linebacker, senior Derrell Acrey (6-1, 233) appears to be the front runner to step into the leadership role in the linebacker corps. He earned four starts last season and played in 12 games all together. Acrey finished the year with 34 tackles, including 5.5 tackles for loss. He also grabbed two interceptions and recorded one pass breakup. Competing for the starting spot at MIKE will be junior Byron Hout (6-0, 227) and sophomore Tommy Smith (6-1, 227). Hout converted to linebacker this offseason after spending his first two seasons at Boise State on the defensive line. Hout played in all 14 games as a defensive tackle last season, where he recorded 27 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks. Smith finished 2009 with 23 tackles and one interception, having played in 12 games for the Broncos. The competition for the starting spot at WILL linebacker could be even more intriguing, as junior Aaron Tevis (6-3, 231) and sophomore J.C. Percy (6-0, 220) are
2010 Boise State Football expected to push each other for playing time all year. Tevis solidified himself as a regular starter in 2009 having started 11 of the 14 games he played in. Tevis provided well rounded production for the Broncos as he finished the year fourth on the team in tackles (54), while also recording 6.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions and 1.5 sacks. Percy was one of the more pleasant surprises of the 2009 season as he went from relative anonymity to a major contributor by the end of the year. Percy finished second on the team in tackles (64), despite only starting three times all year. He did get on the field in all 14 games, however, which he used to his full advantage. Percy ended the season with 4.5 tackles for loss and two pass breakups. The Broncos are also hoping senior Daron Mackey (5-11, 233) will be able to return to the mix at linebacker after missing the final two games of the season due to injury. Mackey started eight games for Boise State in 2009. He finished the season with 36 tackles and 4.0 tackles for loss.
SPECIAL TEAMS Kickers - A familiar foot is expected to be handling all the kicking duties for Boise State again in 2010 as senior Kyle Brotzman (5-10, 196) enters his fourth and final season as the starting place-kicker for the Broncos. During his junior campaign Brotzman made 18-of-25 field goal tries with a long of 52 yards. He also made good on 63-of-64 point after attempts to lead the team in scoring with 117 points. Sophomore Jimmy Pavel (5-9, 210) will be called upon to handle backup duties once again. Pavel converted his only field goal attempt last season from 24 yards. Redshirt freshman Trevor Harman (6-2, 188) rounds out the placekicking group, as he will also be competing for playing time this fall. Punters - Brotzman is expected to be as busy as ever this fall handling place kicking, kickoff and punting responsibilities for Boise State. His rugby style punting technique proved to be incredibly effective again last season as he averaged 43.9 yards per punt on 46 tries. He recorded
2010 Season Outlook
Secondary - There won’t be many questions surrounding the Boise State secondary in 2010 as the Broncos return all but one player to an outstanding defensive backfield from 2009. Despite the departure of firstround NFL draft pick Kyle Wilson, Boise State has reloaded at cornerback and will also be extremely deep at the safety and nickel positions. Leading the way on the corner will be senior Brandyn Thompson (5-10, 180), who is a three year starter for the Broncos. Thompson finished the season sixth on the team in tackles (45) as a junior, while also leading the way with six interceptions. Thompson showed his game changing ability during the Fiesta Bowl, when he grabbed two interceptions including one that he returned 51 yards for a touchdown. For his outstanding performance in the bowl game, Thompson was named 2010 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Defensive MVP. Junior Antwon Murray (5-11, 179) will likely be the player providing backup for Thompson despite seeing limited action in 2009. Murray played in just six games last season, where he recorded two tackles. The starting spot opposite Thompson should provide another interesting competition throughout the fall as there appears to be no clear cut favorite to replace Wilson at the other corner position. Sophomore Jamar Taylor (5-11, 192) looked impressive during the spring as he returned from a 2009 season that he was forced to redshirt due to injury. Taylor will be battling with junior Jerrell Gavins (5-9, 178), who is coming off a solid first season with the Broncos. After transferring to Boise State at the start of the 2009 season, Gavins began to make an immediate impact as a reserve cornerback. He finished the year with 31 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and four pass breakups. One of his biggest contributions of last season came in the Fiesta Bowl, however, as he was called upon to start as a third defensive back when the Broncos changed their defensive scheme for the bowl game.
Anchoring the back of the Boise State secondary will be a trio of upperclassmen that were staples in the Bronco defense in 2009. At safety the Broncos return a pair of starters with senior Jeron Johnson (5-11, 195) and junior George Iloka (6-3, 207). Johnson was the team’s leading tackler (98) as a junior en route to earning second team All-WAC honors. Along with his hard hitting reputation, Johnson also proved to be a ball hawk as he grabbed four interceptions and recorded six pass breakups on the year. Iloka enjoyed a great 2009 season playing opposite Johnson as he finished the year with 48 tackles. Iloka also recorded 2.5 tackles for loss, one interception and five pass breakups. He started all 14 games for the Broncos as a sophomore. Expected to compete for the most reserve playing time at safety will be juniors Travis Stanaway (5-11, 193) and Cedric Febis (6-3, 198). Stanaway recorded 20 tackles last season having played in 12 games. Febis, who saw action in all 14 games last year, finished 2009 with 23 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. Rounding out the Boise State secondary is one of the most dynamic positions on the field; the nickel position. The Broncos return second team All-WAC senior Winston Venable (5-11, 218), who made a huge impact in his first year after transferring to Boise State in the spring of 2009. Venable started all 14 games at nickel for the Broncos last season and finished third on the team in tackles (63). He recorded 8.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and two interceptions. Looking to compete with Venable for playing time at nickel will be junior Hunter White (5-11, 219), who was moved from linebacker to nickel in the spring. White was a major contributor in the Bronco linebacker corps last season, seeing action in all 14 games. He finished the year with 37 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and one interception.

2010 Boise State Football a long of 72 yards, while punting over 50 yards 13 different times. Brotzman wasn’t just good punting long, however, as he also downed 15 punts inside the 20-yard line. Senior Brad Elkin (6-2, 202) will backup Brotzman this season. Elkin was called upon to punt 11 times in 2009. He averaged 35.8 yards per punt, but did down 7 punts inside the 20-yard line. Snappers - A pair of sophomores will be called upon to handle long snapping duties this season in Chris Roberson (6-0, 226) and James Crawford (6-1, 206). Roberson saw action in six games as a freshman. Kick Returners - Two of Boise State’s most dynamic players are back to handle kick return duties for the Broncos this season as Young and Martin proved to be a dangerous combination on special teams last year. Young played his way to first team All-WAC honors as a specialist after returning two kickoffs for touchdown in 2009. He averaged 26.9 yards per return with a long of 100 yards.
But while Young handled the bulk of Boise State’s kick returns last season, Martin also showed glimpses of why he was picked as a returner as well. Martin returned just six kickoffs as a sophomore, but averaged 29.7 yards per return. He also recorded a long of 77 yards. Punt Returners - Young will certainly have his hands full this fall as he will also be called upon to be the primary punt returner for the Broncos. For the first time in his career Young will handle the punt return duties for Boise State, which will give him yet another way to utilize his athleticism and game changing abilities. Sophomore Chris Potter (5-9, 164) will share in the punt return responsibilities having seen some action as a punt returner in 2009. Potter returned 10 punts with a 12.9 yard per return average. His longest return of the season was 32 yards.

Success has come at unprecedented levels for Boise State football coach Chris Petersen after beginning his head coaching career with the Broncos just four years ago. Since 2006, Petersen has won three Western Athletic Conference championships, enjoyed three undefeated regular seasons, won two Tostitos Fiesta Bowl titles and been named Paul “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year twice as well. The 2009 season was no different, as Petersen led the Broncos to a perfect 14-0 season that culminated with the school’s seventh WAC Championship and a 17-10 win over No. 4 TCU in the Fiesta Bowl. Along with earning the “Bear” Bryant award, Petersen was also named WAC Coach of the Year for the second time in his career. Boise State did find itself in unchartered territory in 2009, however, as Petersen helped guide the Broncos to their highest national ranking in school history. Boise State was No. 4 in the final USA Today Coaches’ poll and No. 4 in the final Associated Press media poll. The Broncos also ranked fourth in the first BCS poll of the season (Oct. 18) and never fell lower than No. 7. Boise State spent the final five weeks of the regular season ranked sixth. Most impressively, Boise State managed to do so with one of its’ youngest teams ever, which boasted just four seniors. Petersen earned his first Bear Bryant National Coach of the Year award following his first year at the helm at Boise State. The Broncos also went undefeated that year ending the season with another win at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (4342 over Oklahoma). Petersen is the only person to win the Bear Bryant award twice. He was also a finalist in 2008. He won his first WAC Coach of the Year Award after guiding the 2008 Broncos to a 12-1 overall record, a league championship and an appearance in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. In addition to the Bryant Award, Petersen was also named a finalist for the Liberty Mutual and Eddie Robinson awards in 2008. Petersen, who has a career record of 49-4 for a .925 winning percentage, guided this year’s Boise State team to its fourth undefeated regular season in six years, its seventh WAC championship in eight seasons, and finished the season with a No. 4 ranking by the Associated Press. In his four seasons at Boise State, “Coach Pete” has clearly established himself as one of the top young football coaches in the country, leading the Broncos to two BCS bowl games and a consistent presence in the national rankings each of those years. Under Petersen, Boise State has compiled an impressive 31-1 record in theWAC with league championships
in 2006, 2008 Coaching Experience and 2009, and a runner-up finish 2001Boise State in ’07. 2006 Head Coach Considered 2001-05 Offensive Coordinator/ one of the most Quarterbacks innovative offensive minds in the college 1995-2000 Oregon Wide Receivers coaching ranks, Petersen and his Portland State staff has guided 1993-94 Quarterbacks an offense that continues to Pittsburgh be among the 1992 Quarterbacks nation’s best.

Honors and national rankings are nothing new to Petersen. In the history of college football, only one coach since 1900 won 13 games in his first season at the helm of an FBS team. That coach was Petersen in 2006. In addition to winning the Bryant award that year, Petersen was a finalist for the ’06 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award, a semifinalist for the George Munger Coach of the Year award, and was named the Region 4 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. As Boise State’s offensive coordinator from 2001-2005, he was twice (2002 and 2004) a finalist for the Broyles Award, which honors the nation’s top assistant football coach. Prior to taking over the top coaching position at Boise State in 2006, Petersen’s stint as offensive coordinator for the Broncos (2001-05) featured one of the most potent attacks in the country, averaging 41.3 points per game while also finishing as the nation’s top scoring team twice (2002 and
2010 Boise State Football then as its head coach, Petersen was instrumental in the development of quarterbacks Ryan Dinwiddie and Jared Zabransky, who are among the most successful collegiate signal callers in recent years. Dinwiddie, who guided the Bronco offense from 2001-03, finished as the NCAA career passing efficiency leader with a rating of 168.19. With Petersen as his quarterback coach, as well as the team’s offensive coordinator, Dinwiddie led the Broncos to a 28-6 record as a starter. After Dinwiddie left, Petersen helped groom Zabransky into one of the nation’s most successful quarterbacks from 2004-06. Zabransky led Boise State to three straight league titles, two undefeated regular seasons, and a 32-5 record in his three years as a starter, including a 23-1 record in WAC games. Offensive tackle Ryan Clady also excelled under Petersen. A consensus All-American in 2007, Clady decided to skip his senior year of college and make himself eligible for the 2008 NFL draft. In April he became the first Bronco ever selected in the first round, going to Denver as the 12th overall selection. In 2006, Petersen’s first season as head coach, Clady earned second-team All-America recognition from SI.com while Ian Johnson (first-team SI.com and CBS Sportline; second-team Sporting News; and third-team Associated Press) and linebacker Korey Hall (second-team Sporting News) also earned All-America honors that year. This past season two of Petersen’s players earned AllAmerican honors. Sophomore quarterback Kellen Moore was named first team All-American by ESPN.com, SI.com and CBSSports.com. Senior cornerback Kyle Wilson earned

2003). The Broncos also finished second (2004), eighth (2005) and 18th (2001) in the nation in scoring while Petersen was running the Broncos’ offense. During Petersen’s five seasons as offensive coordinator, Boise State finished in the top 15 in total offense four times, including three top10 finishes – first in 2002, fourth in 2004, and seventh in 2003. The Broncos also had four top 20 finishes in passing during that time, including a high ranking of fifth in 2003. Boise State also ranked in the top 25 in the country in rushing in three of the last four seasons that Petersen coached the offense, including 14th in 2004 and 15th in 2005. Several players have excelled individually under Petersen in his four years as head coach; the most recent example is sophomore quarterback Kellen Moore. Moore, who was named 2009 WAC Offensive Player of the Year, finished the regular season with the nation’s top passing efficiency rating (167.35). He has also thrown the second most touchdown passes of any FBS quarterback (39) and has tossed the fewest interceptions (3) of any QB that has played in at least 10 games this year. As a freshman Moore was named 2008 WAC Freshman of the Year. He finished the 2008 season ranked 12th in the nation in passing efficiency and 24th in total offense. In Petersen’s four years as head coach, 24 of his players were named first-team All-WAC and 19 others were selected second-team all-conference. In 2009 the Broncos placed Moore, wide receivers Austin Pettis and Titus Young, and offensive lineman Nate Potter on WAC first-team offense. Young was also named firstteam All-WAC as a kickoff specialist. On defense, cornerback Kyle Wilson and defensive end Ryan Winterswyk were also named firstteam all-conference. Players who earned second-team recognition were running back Jeremy Avery, defensive lineman Billy Winn, linebacker Winston Venable and defensive back Jeron Johnson. In 2009 Boise State led the WAC in both scoring offense (42.2 ppg) and scoring defense (17.1 ppg). The Broncos also ranked first in total defense (300.2 ypg). Their success was powered behind a defense that led the conference in pass defense (179.9 ypg), pass efficiency defense (103.4), pass efficiency (159.5) and turnover margin (+1.50). The Broncos also dominated on special teams, leading the WAC in kickoff returns (26.6 ypr) and finishing second in net punting (38.3 ypp). In total, the Broncos led the conference in 15 statistical categories. Given Petersen’s ability to develop quarterbacks, the future bodes well for Moore. As Boise State’s offensive coordinator and

second team All-American honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation and the Associated Press. In his five seasons as offensive coordinator, Petersen had two players earn All-America honors – running back Brock Forsey in 2002 and offensive tackle Daryn Colledge in 2004. He also helped 12 Broncos earn first-team All-WAC honors, while two (Dinwiddie in 2003 and Forsey in 2002) were named WAC Offensive Player of the Year. Petersen came to Boise State as former head coach Dan Hawkins’ offensive coordinator following the 2000 season from the University of Oregon, where he was the wide receivers coach. He joined the Oregon staff in 1995 and immediately helped contribute to a passing attack that ranked among the nation’s elite each of the six seasons he was an assistant. Twice during Petersen’s tenure at Oregon, the Duck offense broke the school record for single-season passing yards, and three times in the same time period the team broke the single-season school record for most touchdowns. Prior to working at Oregon, Petersen served as the quarterbacks coach at Portland State from 1993-1994, helping the Vikings advance to the NCAA Division II playoffs both seasons.

In 1992 Petersen was the quarterbacks coach at the University of Pittsburgh. That season the Panthers established a school record for passing yards and ranked eighth nationally in total offense and passing. In addition, he contributed to the development of first-team All-Big East Conference quarterback Alex Van Pelt, who eclipsed the school’s passing yardage totals previously held by Dan Marino. Petersen’s success as a coach can be linked to his record-setting career as a quarterback at the University of California, Davis. As a senior with the Aggies, he was named the Northern California Athletic Conference Player of the Year and was the top-rated Division II quarterback in the nation. Petersen received second-team Kodak Division II All-America honors and still holds the Division II record for career pass completions at 69.6 percent. Petersen was inducted into the UC Davis Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in psychology from UC Davis in 1988, Petersen started his coaching career at his alma mater, serving as UC Davis’ head freshman coach in 1987-88 and the receivers coach from 1989-91. Petersen holds a master’s degree in educational psychology from UC Davis. He and his wife, Barbara, are the parents of two sons, Jack (14) and Sam (11).

In 2008 Choate coached one of the top special teams units in the country, which was anchored by punt return specialist Kyle Wilson. Wilson finished the season with the most punt return touchdowns (3) in the country, which earned him second-team All-WAC honors as a specialist. He also ranked 12th nationally in punt return average (14.2 yards per return). Phil Steele’s College Football ranked Boise State’s special teams No. 2 in the country in 2008 behind Cincinnati.

2009 Season Review
2010 Boise State Football Game No. 1 No. 14 Boise State 19, No. 16 Oregon 8 September 3 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho BOISE, Idaho (AP) -The biggest home game in Boise State history became a fourquarter bullying of its big-conference neighbor. Kellen Moore threw for 197 yards and a touchdown, and the 14th-ranked Broncos shoved aside No. 16 Oregon 19-8. D.J. Harper scored on a 1-yard run early in the third quarter and Boise State held on for a shaky final 25 minutes of mistakes and turnovers to record its 50th straight regular-season home victory. For 2 1/2 quarters, the game was a celebration of all things blue and orange before the nervous final stretch as a Ducks offense that was stuck in neutral most of the night finally gained some traction. But Boise State’s defense answered every Oregon charge and knocked off the Ducks for the second consecutive season. Nearly every available space inside Bronco Stadium was crammed with fans desperate to see this border-state battle, one that everyone expected to turn into a high-scoring shootout. If not for two missed field goals, a botched field-goal snap and three turnovers, it very well might have been a high-scoring rout for the Broncos. They outgained Oregon 361 to 152, rolling up 22 first downs to the Ducks’ six. The struggles of the offense were stunning, considering Oregon scored a combined 162 points in its final three games of 2008 and brought quarterback Jeremiah Masoli back to run the show. But Masoli’s passing was off and the Ducks could not get their running game going on the Broncos’ famous blue turf. And Masoli’s main passing target, Ed Dickson, might as well have not been on the field. He wasn’t thrown to in the first half and finished with just two catches for 19 yards. His first grab, with 7:07 left in the third quarter, finally got the Ducks their first first down. Masoli finished 14 of 27 for 121 yards and an interception. The Broncos had no problem marching. Moore hit 14 of 20 throws in the first half and finished 19 of 29. He was also given plenty of time in the pocket behind a young offensive line that for one night answered the biggest question about the Broncos in the offseason. Moore connected with Austin Pettis for a 10-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter and the two-point conversion put Boise State up 8-0. They later went up 10-0 when Blount was pulled down in the end zone by Billy Winn for a safety. The Broncos’ line also pushed Oregon’s defensive front and opened holes for Harper and Jeremy Avery. The pair combined for 162 yards rushing and Boise State finished with 164 yards rushing as a team. Boise State’s win was celebrated by a record crowd of 34,127 fans, which broke the old record of 32,412 that was set in 2008 against Fresno State.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 2 No. 11 Boise State 48, Miami (OH) 0 September 12 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Kellen Moore threw four touchdown passes, including a pair to Titus Young, as No. 11 Boise State rolled to a 48-0 victory over a young and struggling Miami, Ohio team. The Broncos were never really challenged by the rebuilding RedHawks, who were shut out 42-0 in their opener against Kentucky the week before. Moore was 16-of-26 passing for 307 yards, including a 54-yard TD pass to Young in the third quarter. Moore also threw touchdowns to Austin Pettis and Tyler Shoemaker before heading for the bench late in the third quarter with Boise State up 34-0. The Broncos offense, held to 19 points against Oregon, got on track late in the first half when Moore threw a 25-yard TD in the final seconds of the half. The scoring drive was set up when Pettis broke through the Miami protection to block a punt, giving the offense the ball at the Miami 49 with 31 seconds left in the first half. Boise State scored on its next two possessions in the second half then let the defense do the rest. The Broncos outgained the RedHawks 441 to 197, and D.J. Harper led Boise State’s running game with 89 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries. Young led Boise State’s receivers with six catches for 114 yards. The Bronco defense held Miami to just 41 yards rushing and intercepted four passes. So far this season, the stingy Bronco defense has allowed just eight points and just 308 total yards in two games. The RedHawks stayed close early, and managed to move the ball at times. But Miami failed to sustain drives after getting the first two or three first downs, and a second quarter interception by Daniel Raudabaugh killed a drive in Boise territory when Miami trailed by only 14-0. Raudabaugh was 21-of-35 passing for 155 yards and threw two of the four interceptions. Moore threw his first touchdown pass on Boise State’s second possession, a 17-yard strike to Pettis, who finished with four catches for 115 yards. Moore set up the score three plays earlier by hitting Pettis streaking down the sideline for 65 yards. Boise State junior kicker Kyle Brotzman missed an extra point attempt after the third touchdown, the first missed PAT of his career and snapped a string of 118 straight.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 3 No. 10 Boise State 51, Fresno State 34 September 18 - Bulldog Stadium - Fresno, California FRESNO, Calif. (AP) -Jeremy Avery and Titus Young made sure Boise State had the answers to every big play Fresno State delivered. Avery had three plays of longer than 60 yards and Young scored two touchdowns, providing just some of the many highlight-reel plays in the 10th-ranked Broncos’ 51-34 victory. Avery scored on a 67-yard swing pass to break the game open in the fourth quarter and Young provided perhaps the biggest play of all, diving on Avery’s fumble in the end zone to complete a 75yard score as Boise State won for the 57th time in its past 59 Western Athletic Conference games. Few were as entertaining as this one. The Broncos broke out to a 24-3 lead then had to scramble to win. Fresno State got three touchdown runs of at least 60 yards from Ryan Mathews but again fell short against a ranked team, losing for the 10th straight time against teams in the Top 25. With the Friday night stage to themselves, Boise State and Fresno State provided enough big plays to last the weekend. The Broncos had two 77-yard kickoff returns, an interception return for a touchdown, a 60-yard touchdown run by D.J. Harper, and the big plays from Avery. The first of Avery’s plays came on a long run that appeared to be bound for the end zone. But A.J. Jefferson poked the ball loose just before Avery scored. With the ball rolling toward the back of the end zone for an apparent touchback and Boise State turnover, Young made a diving recovery before sliding out of bounds for the score that made it 34-24. Avery then answered a Fresno State score with the long screen pass that restored a 14-point lead early in the fourth quarter and he added a 69-yard run that set up a field goal. Avery finished with 186 yards on 11 carries, with 83 more yards receiving. Fresno State had plenty of big plays of its own, starting with the touchdown runs of 69, 60 and 68 yards by Mathews. Chastin West made a leaping 41-yard catch that was nearly an interception as Brandyn Thompson tried to wrestle the ball away and Devon Wylie made an acrobatic 21-yard touchdown catch from Ryan Colburn on the next play. Boise State appeared to pull away with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Moore to Austin Pettis in the opening minute of the fourth quarter, making it 41-27. But Mathews answered with his 68-yard run, part of a 234-yard night. Then one play after Marvin Haynes dropped a potential interception for Fresno State, Avery took Moore’s screen pass all the way for the third touchdown in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter, making it 48-34. The rout appeared to be on early for Boise State. Winston Venable returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown on the third play of the game. The Broncos added a field goal by Kyle Brotzman and the long run by Harper to make it 17-0 before Fresno State even managed a first down. Harper finished with 107 yards rushing before suffering an injury which would sideline him for the rest of the season. That extended Boise State’s run of consecutive points against Fresno State to 68, dating to late in the second quarter of last year’s 6110 Broncos’ victory. The lead grew to 24-3 before Mathews single-handedly brought the Bulldogs back with two long touchdowns that cut Boise State’s halftime lead to 24-17.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 4 No. 8 Boise State 49, Bowling Green 14 September 26 - Perry Stadium - Bowling Green, Ohio BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) -Kellen Moore was nearly flawless for No. 8 Boise State, throwing for 247 yards and two touchdowns in the Broncos’ 49-14 victory over Bowling Green. Boise State’s big play offense needed four plays or less on its first six scoring drives. The Broncos didn’t score until a minute into the second quarter when receiver Titus Young took a pitch from Moore and ran 18 yards for a touchdown. That was all the spark they needed. Doug Martin scored on a 34-yard run down the right sideline two minutes later and then Young scored 18 seconds after that. The Broncos had gotten the ball back when Boise State’s Brandyn Thompson intercepted Tyler Sheehan’s tipped pass. On the next play, Young ran 25 yards untouched into the end zone, giving the Broncos a 22-0 lead. All that took just 2:27. Moore threw for 195 yards in the second quarter alone, completing eight straight passes at one point. He finished 17 of 21, spreading the ball around to six different receivers. Tyler Shoemaker had 105 yards on four catches. Bowling Green, hosting a top-10 team for the first time in school history, hung around early. The Falcons opened the game with a seven-minute drive, but came up empty after Jerry Phillips missed a 29-yard field goal. They did hold Boise State scoreless in the first quarter - about the only bright spot on the night. Boise State finished with 529 yards in total offense. The Broncos’ running game didn’t miss a beat despite playing without second-leading rusher D.J. Harper, who suffered a season-ending knee injury the week before. Doug Martin, a defensive back who has seven tackles this season, took Harper’s spot and ran for 116 yards on 13 carries. Martin hardly looked like a back who had only seen limited action the last two seasons at running back. Starter Jeremy Avery rushed for 92 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown run on the second play of the third quarter that put Boise State ahead 36-0. Thompson’s interception in the second quarter marked the sixth consecutive game with a pick for the Broncos. The Broncos, with their best regular-season ranking in school history, intercepted Sheehan’s passes twice, giving them nine interceptions this season. They did give up just their second passing touchdown, but it came after the game was all but over. Sheehan, who had completed 68 percent of his throws this year coming into the game, couldn’t get anything going against the Broncos’ stingy pass defense. He finished 16-of-29 passing with just 137 yards. Boise State, making its first trip to Ohio, also shut down Falcons receiver Freddie Barnes who was leading the nation with 14 catches per game. He only managed four receptions for 24 yards.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 5 No. 5 Boise State 34, UC Davis 16 October 3 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho BOISE, Idaho (AP) -Kellen Moore threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns, including a pair to Austin Pettis, to lead No. 5 Boise State to a 34-16 victory over UC Davis. The Broncos got off to a slow start and struggled to run the ball against the FCS Aggies. The Broncos rushed for just 101 yards, far below the 214 yards per game they were averaging. Boise State got just 13 points in four trips to the red zone in the first half before Moore finally helped the offense get on track in the second half. Moore was 22 of 31 with one interception. His longest TD pass was 42 yards to Titus Young. Pettis had 10 catches for 129 yards, while Young had six catches for 83 yards. The Aggies were led by quarterback Greg Denham, who was 24-of-36 for 206 yards and two touchdowns. Both of Denham’s touchdowns came in the second half as the Aggies fought to keep pace. Midway through the third quarter, Denham fired a 21-yard TD to Sean Creadick to pull within 20-10. Then Denham connected with Creadick again on a 4-yard TD early in the fourth to cut the Broncos’ lead to 27-16. The Aggies missed the ensuing extra point. The Broncos defense held the Aggies to just 28 yards rushing. But the Broncos were penalized nine times for 61 yards, and the defense failed to force a turnover. Moore’s first TD came in the final minutes of the second quarter when he floated a 6-yard pass to Pettis in the left corner of the end zone, putting Boise State up 13-0 at the half. After the Aggies turned Moore’s interception in the third quarter into a 48-yard field goal by Sean Kelley, Moore led the Broncos quickly back down the field. Moore capped a three-play, 60-yard scoring drive by tossing a 42-yard TD to Young streaking down the middle of the field to go up 20-3. The Aggies answered, scoring five plays later on Denham’s first TD pass to Creadick. The Broncos responded again through the air when Moore threw a 2-yard TD pass to Pettis to stretch their lead to 27-10 with 3:33 left in the third quarter.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 6 No. 6 Boise State 28, Tulsa 21 October 14 - H.A. Champman Stadium - Tulsa, Oklahoma TULSA, Okla. (AP) -Kellen Moore threw two short touchdown passes to Tommy Gallarda, and No. 6 Boise State survived a late scare from Tulsa to escape with a 28-21 victory. With Boise State trailing for the first time all season, Moore was perfect on two scoring drives to put the Broncos ahead to stay. Tulsa got within 28-21 in the fourth quarter when G.J. Kinne and Slick Shelley connected on consecutive passes for 91 yards, including a 55-yarder for a touchdown. The Golden Hurricane had one last chance to tie it in the final two minutes, but Boise State forced its fourth three-andout of the second half to ice the game. Moore finished with 187 yards passing and three touchdown passes. Doug Martin had 112 yards on 23 carries in his second 100-yard game since moving back to offense. Jeremy Avery added 73 yards as Boise State trampled Tulsa on the ground in the third quarter and then held on for the win. Except for the two long connections between Kinne and Shelley, Boise State’s defense limited the Golden Hurricane - who led the nation in total offense each of the last two seasons - to 30 yards in the second half. Kinne missed a wide-open Charles Clay on fourth-and-6 to end Tulsa’s last possession, as he rolled out of the pocket to the left. He finished with 154 yards on 14-for-27 passing. ``Our O-line got going pretty well and it would have been nice to punch it in down there for some breathing room,’’ Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. ``If our O-line is doing what they need to do we can make some plays.’’ The Golden Hurricane - playing in front of a sellout crowd of 30,000 - jumped on top early, capitalizing on a muffed punt by cornerback Kyle Wilson with some trickery on the very next play. Kinne pitched the ball to A.J. Whitmore, the Golden Hurricane’s usual wildcat quarterback, and he found speedy receiver Damaris Johnson behind the defense for a 53-yard touchdown pass. It was the first time Boise State had trailed this season, and Moore immediately led a 68-yard scoring drive the opposite way. He hit all three of his passes for 45 yards and converted a fourth-and-1 at the 10-yard line with a sneak to set up his 8-yard scoring toss to Gallarda. He went 6 for 6 for 62 yards on the Broncos’ next drive, answering Kinne’s 15-yard scoring pass to Trae Johnson with a 17-yard TD connection to Austin Pettis. It was Pettis’ sixth straight game with a touchdown.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 7 No. 5 Boise State 54, Hawai’i 9 October 21 - Aloha Stadium - Honolulu, Hawaii HONOLULU (AP) - Kellen Moore came to work and wasn’t in the mood for relaxation. Moore threw a career-best five touchdown passes and No. 5 Boise State forced turnover after turnover in a dominating 54-9 victory over Hawaii to remain unbeaten and in the BCS race. The Broncos looked confident and sharp, building a 44-0 lead by the third quarter behind their stifling defense. For the night, the Broncos forced six turnovers that led to 30 points. Jeron Johnson intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble on Hawaii’s opening drive that ignited Boise State’s scoring performance. Boise State, which didn’t have a single takeaway in its two previous games, had everything working in its way, from trick plays to fourth-down conversions. Moore, who leads the nation in passing efficiency, was 18 of 30 for 223 yards. Four of his scoring throws came in the first half. Titus Young had eight catches for 115 yards and three TDs, including a 48-yarder in the third quarter. The 45-point loss was Hawaii’s worst since losing by 46 to top-ranked Southern California to open the 2005 season. Boise State scored 24 points in the second quarter, including 17 off three Hawaii turnovers. The scoring took the steam out of the Warriors on a muggy night at Aloha Stadium, where the Broncos are 4-4. Greg Salas was stripped by Winston Venable while fighting for some extra yards and Brandyn Thompson recovered on the Hawaii 14. Moore threw a dart to Austin Pettis on the next play, putting Boise State up 17-0. Austin finally got the Warriors moving in the quarter, driving all the way to the Broncos 14. But his pass was snatched away in the end zone by Johnson. Boise State scored five plays later on Moore’s 24-yard TD pass to Young for a 24-0 lead. On the 80-yard drive, Pettis showed his versatility, completing a 28-yard pass to Kyle Efaw. Young also hauled in a 10-yard TD pass to put Boise State up 31-0 with 1:22 left in the half. And the Broncos weren’t done yet. Hunter White intercepted a pass by Austin, leading to Kyle Brotzman’s 28-yard field goal that gave the Broncos a 34-0 lead at halftime. Brotzman also had a career night with four field goals. Boise State also used trickery a few times. After failing to convert on its first three third-down attempts, Boise State went for it on fourth-and-2 from the Hawaii 35 and scored. With a defender charging at him, Moore dumped a play-action pass to Tyler Shoemaker who ran virtually untouched into the end zone to put Boise State up 10-0. The Broncos converted just three of their 13 third-down attempts, but were perfect on three fourth-down tries.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 8 No. 5 Boise State 45, San Jose State 7 October 31 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho BOISE, Idaho (AP) -Kellen Moore threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another as No. 5 Boise State coasted by San Jose State, the Broncos eighth straight victory. Boise State also got plenty of help from its defense, which held the Spartans to 223 total yards and forced two turnovers that led to touchdowns. In the last minute of the first half, the Broncos recovered a fumble deep in Spartans territory and scored four plays later on a 1-yard dive by Moore to go up 24-7 at the half. Early in the third quarter, cornerback Kyle Wilson picked off a pass and returned it 27 yards to put Boise State up 387. Moore, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most efficient passer coming into the game, was 21 of 33 before heading to the sidelines at the start of the fourth quarter. His three TD passes gave him 24 this season. His first TD pass was a 61-yarder to younger brother Kirby Moore that put the Broncos up 7-0 in the first quarter. The Broncos rolled up 430 total yards, but struggled most of the game to run the ball against a defense that was giving up 259 yards per game on the ground. The Broncos, averaging 190 yards per game, were held to 140 yards, but the bulk of those came late with the game out of reach. Doug Martin led the Broncos with 63 yards, and he scored the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final touchdown on a 36-yard dash late in the fourth quarter. The Spartan run defense was a lone bright spot for a team that has lost 10 straight to the Broncos. Jordan LaSecla was 10 of 20 for just 79 yards and one touchdown, a 39-yarder to Marquis Avery that tied the game 7-7 in the first quarter. The turning point came in the final minute of the first half. With 1:35 left in the half, Moore led the Broncos on a six play, 45-yard scoring drive, capped with an 18-yard TD to Mitch Burroughs in the left corner of the end zone. One play after the ensuing kick, Spartan running back LaMon Muldrow fumbled after being hit by safety Jason Robinson, who recovered the ball on the Spartan 22 with 23 seconds left. After two misfires, Moore hit Tyler Shoemaker on a 21-yard pass, then scored on a dive on the next play. Austin Pettis led the Broncos with five catches for 63 yards and a touchdown, while Kirby Moore had four catches for 80 yards.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 9 No. 5 Boise State 45, Louisiana Tech 35 November 6 - Joe Aillet Stadium - Ruston, Louisiana RUSTON, La. (AP) - Early in the fourth quarter, there was nervous pacing along Boise State’s sideline. With an opportunity to show a national television audience why they should once again become a BCS buster, a close game on the road was not what the fifth-ranked Broncos had in mind. They looked anxious, but they weren’t rattled. Moore threw for 354 yards and three touchdowns, and Boise State remained unbeaten and in contention for a BCS bid with a 45-35 victory over Louisiana Tech. Tech had pulled within 30-28 early in the fourth quarter on Dennis Morris’ leaping catch in the corner of the end zone. The Broncos defense buckled down long enough after that for Boise State to pull away with touchdowns on consecutive drives, first on Moore’s 12-yard pass to Austin Pettis and then on Jeremy Avery’s 44-yard touchdown run. Avery finished with 146 yards rushing, while Titus Young caught eight passes for 110 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown for Boise State. Boise State has scored no fewer than 45 points in each of its four WAC games this season. Trailing 27-7 at halftime, Tech made a game of it in the third quarter, starting with Josh Victorian’s first career touchdown on Moore’s third interception of the season. It was an ill-advised throw under pressure that hung in the air for Victorian, who raced down the sideline and cut inside Moore to cap a 75-yard return. Moore responded by leading a 15-play drive to set up Kyle Brotzman’s third field goal, then Tech’s offense suddenly came to life. The Bulldogs got their first first down in two quarters on the way to a 73-yard scoring drive capped by Ross Jenkins’ 9-yard keeper around the right end to make it 30-21. Tech’s Matt Nelson then caught the Broncos by surprise with an onside kick that he recovered himself. Shortly after, Jenkins found Morris over the middle for 36 yards to the Boise State 12, setting up Jenkins’ third-down pass to Morris, who leaped to catch the ball over defensive back Kyle Wilson’s head to pull Tech within 30-28. When Brotzman missed his second field goal of the game on the Broncos’ next drive, the crowd was going wild, and it appeared the Bulldogs just might upset the highest-ranked team ever to play at Joe Aillet Stadium. Instead, Boise State put its figurative foot down, forcing a quick punt. Then Moore floated a pass down the sideline to Kyle Efaw for his second 40-yard completion of the game, setting up his scoring pass to Pettis to make it 38-28. Soon after, Tech failed to convert a fourth-and-6 on its own 44, setting up Avery’s game-clinching run that made it 45-28 with 4:52 to go. Tech managed one more touchdown after that. Moore’s three TD passes gave him 27 on the season, eclipsing the 25 he had the year before as a freshman.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 10 No. 6 Boise State 63, Idaho 25 November 14 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Kellen Moore threw four touchdown passes to Austin Pettis and tied a career high with five overall, as the No. 6 Broncos overwhelmed Idaho 63-25. Titus Young had a 100-yard kickoff return that was actually longer and Kyle Wilson returned an interception 71 yards for another score for the big-play Broncos, who beat their rivals for the 11th consecutive time. Moore, the nation’s passing efficiency leader with 32 touchdowns and just three interceptions, passed Steve Young for 19th place on the Western Athletic Conference’s list for career touchdown passes. His 57th in two seasons was to Pettis early in the fourth quarter. The go-go Broncos used a halfback pass, an interception return, a kickoff return and funky formations all for scores. The Broncos came in averaging 59.4 points per home game against Idaho in five games this decade. The last three times the Broncos have played the Vandals in Boise, they’ve won 58-14, 70-35, 65-7 - and now this year’s runaway. Idaho committed seven turnovers, six by fill-in quarterback Brian Reader. He threw five interceptions while starting for the second consecutive game for the Vandals’ injuried starter. Reader, who finished 17 for 27 for 305 yards and a touchdown, lost a fumble on his third play, setting up Pettis’ leaping touchdown catch over Kenneth Patten. Reader threw an interception on his second pass, which Boise State converted into a 25-yard touchdown from Moore to Young, behind a block by Pettis. Pettis reached high for an 8-yard touchdown catch that made it 21-7 after one quarter. Moore was 9 for 10 for 101 yards and three touchdowns in the period. Moore was 15 for 20 for 199 yards in the half, and Boise State had its most points in a half since Aug. 30, 2007, against Weber State.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 11 No. 6 Boise State 52, Utah State 21 November 20 - Romney Stadium - Logan, Utah BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Doug Martin ran for 121 yards and four touchdowns and No. 6 Boise State remained unbeaten and in BCS contention with a 52-21 victory over Utah State. Jeremy Avery added 116 yards rushing and two touchdowns for the Broncos, who gained 243 yards and scored four TDs in the second quarter - two 43 seconds apart to break a 14-all tie. Boise State added another touchdown barely two minutes into the third quarter and what was a close game for about 25 minutes turned into the rout it was expected to be. Boise Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kellen Moore was a modest 15 for 29 for 233 yards with a touchdown, breaking a streak of six straight games with three of more touchdown passes. But he had enough help in the backfield that it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. The Broncos rushed for a season-high 323 yards and outgained the Aggies 572-363. After Robert Turbin tied it at 14 on a 24-yard run for the Aggies with 6:28 left in the second, the Broncos drove 73 yards in four plays to retake the lead for good. Titus Young made a diving grab with a defender all over him for a 56-yard catch at the 2, where Martin easily ran it in for a 21-14 lead. Then Utah State fumbled a handoff and Ryan Winterswyk recovered at the nine for the Broncos and Avery scored on first down, putting the Broncos up 28-14 with 4:04 left in the quarter. Being down two touchdowns at halftime would have been tolerable for the Aggies, but another defensive lapse late in the period allowed the Broncos to drive for a 1-yard touchdown by Martin with five seconds left in the half. The Aggies almost had Boise State stopped on third-and-10 with about a minute left, but Martin broke through for a 17-yard run to keep the drive going. The Broncos opened the third quarter with a 71-yard drive, needing only four plays to score again on a 32-yard run by Avery to push their lead to 42-14.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 12 No. 6 Boise State 44, Nevada 33 November 27 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho BOISE, Idaho (AP) -Though Nevada threatened, there’s still no team in the WAC that can conquer Boise State. Kellen Moore tied his career high with five touchdown passes, three to fill-in fullback Dan Paul, and the No. 6 Broncos remained undefeated with a 44-33 victory over Nevada. With executives with the Sugar, Fiesta and Orange bowls watching - and hearing fans’ chants of ``BCS! BCS!’’ through the rain and cold - the Broncos withstood the Wolf Pack’s rally from 24 points down in the first half. Boise State, sixth in the latest BCS but far from a lock to earn a bid to the marquee bowls, led 34-26 entering the fourth quarter before Moore’s fifth scoring pass, to brother Kirby, clinched its 24th consecutive regular-season win. Nevada entered the game averaged 52 points per game while winning eight straight. The Wolf Pack lost for the 10th consecutive time to Boise State. Doug Martin ran for 128 yards on 16 carries for the Broncos, who locked up at least a share of their seventh WAC championship in eight seasons. Resilient Nevada absorbed a 95-yard touchdown return on the opening kickoff by Boise State’s Titus Young and being in a 27-3 hole after 20 minutes. The Wolf Pack closed within 27-19 in third quarter on a 37-yard field goal by Ricky Drake. The Broncos answered with a ground march to the Wolf Pack 21. That running was partly why tight end Tommy Gallarda was wide open in the middle of the field for Moore’s fourth touchdown pass, from 21 yards. Moore’s 37th TD throw of the season, against just three interceptions, extended his single-season school record. But on the next play from scrimmage, Via Taua, the leading runner on the NCAA’s first offense to have three 1,000-yard rushers in the same season, sprinted untouched down the right hashmark for a 71-yard touchdown. The Wolf Pack was back within 34-26 late in the third quarter. When replay officials overturned an official’s call and ruled Kirby Moore fumbled at the end of a catch, the entire Nevada roster was off the bench and jumping around on the field celebrating the game’s first turnover. The Wolf Pack had the ball near midfield with the chance to tie. But they went three-and-out to end the third quarter. Kyle Brotzman kicked a 27-yard field goal to put the Broncos up 37-26 with 10:55 left, before the clinching Moore-to-Moore connection.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 13 No. 6 Boise State 42, New Mexico State 7 December 5 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho BOISE, Idaho (AP) -Boise State is perfect again. Doug Martin had four touchdown runs and the sixth-ranked Broncos beat New Mexico State 42-7 to finish unbeaten for the second consecutive season. Kellen Moore threw for 272 yards and a score for Boise State, which finished 12-0 last year but was left out of the Bowl Championship Series. The Broncos will have to wait to see if they made it into one of the big-money bowls this season. Boise State fans stormed the field after time ran out, turning the blue turf into a sea of orange and blue as they celebrated the Broncos' second consecutive WAC title and 10th straight win over New Mexico State. Boise State has won 26 straight regular-season games overall. Trevor Walls had a 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter for the Aggies, who managed just 49 yards passing and 191 yards total. Martin had two 4-yard TD runs and Jeremy Avery ran 9 yards for another score as Boise State reached the end zone three times in the second quarter to take a 28-0 lead. Martin tacked on a 2-yard touchdown run and a 56-yard score in the third. Avery had 16 carries for 86 yards and Martin finished with eight for 83 for Boise State, which finished with 288 yards on the ground. Moore connected with Titus Young on a 47-yard play in the first quarter for his 39th touchdown pass of the season. Moore, the nation's most efficient passer, finished 19 of 30. The Broncos nearly shut out the Aggies for the third straight time but fumbled deep inside their own territory to set up Walls' TD.

2010 Boise State Football Game No. 14 Boise State 17, TCU 10 January 4, 2010 - University of Phoenix Stadium Glendale, Arizona GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -Boise State reached into its bag of tricks again and stunned TCU in a Fiesta Bowl duel of unbeaten BCS busters. After the Broncos pulled off a gutsy fake punt at their own 33-yard line, Doug Martin scored the decisive touchdown to give No. 6 Boise State a 17-10 victory over third-ranked TCU. A 10-10 stalemate came alive when punter Kyle Brotzman hit wide-open Kyle Efaw with a 30-yard strike with about nine minutes to play. Four plays later, Martin dove over a tackler from two yards out as the Broncos became the second school ever to go 14-0, joining Ohio State in 2002. (Alabama would also go 14-0 when it won the national championship later in the week.) The trickery evoked memories of Boise State’s BCS debut three years ago, when it pulled out a passel of gadget plays to defeat Oklahoma on the same field. Unlike that thriller, this game offered little drama until Petersen made another surprising call. The Broncos caught the Horned Frogs napping on the fake punt. Kellen Moore then completed three straight passes to advance to the two, and Martin scored to put Boise State up 17-10 with 7:21 to go. TCU took over at its own one with 1:06 remaining and marched to the Boise State 30 before cornerback Brandyn Thompson disrupted a pass by Andy Dalton, and Winston Venable picked it off to end the threat. Moore passed for 211 yards. Dalton finished with 272 yards and a score through the air, but was intercepted three times. Brotzman also made a 40-yard field goal midway through the second to make it 10-0, putting the Horned Frogs in the biggest hole they had faced all season. Boise State is known for its offense. But its defense did most of the work in this one. Thompson set up the winning drive with its second interception of the game. He returned his first pick 51 yards for the game’s first score. WAC champion Boise State earned its second BCS victory - as many as Michigan, Penn State and Alabama have combined. This was TCU’s first BCS game, and the Horned Frogs seemed a little jittery, with six first-half penalties and some early struggles by Dalton, who also fumbled a snap to go along with his three interceptions. TCU’s 10-0 deficit in the second quarter was its biggest since it fell behind the Broncos 13-0 in the 2009 Poinsettia Bowl. Neither team could muster an offensive touchdown until the final minute of the first half, when Dalton hit Curtis Clay for a 30-yard score to make it 10-7 at halftime. The Horned Frogs capitalized on Boise State’s first turnover to pull even midway through the third. The Broncos had moved into Horned Frogs territory when All-American defensive end Jerry Hughes stripped Martin and recovered the ball at TCU’s 43-yard line. Eight plays later, Ross Evans kicked a 29-yard field goal to tie it at 10. The Broncos struck first on the return by Thompson, who cut in front of Antoine Hicks, picked off the pass and raced untouched into the end zone in the first quarter. Dalton had thrown only five interceptions in 279 pass attempts during the regular season, when he earned first-team All-Mountain West Conference honors. But the Broncos put pressure on Dalton from the start; late in the first quarter, unblocked cornerback Kyle Wilson blitzed and flattened Dalton, who came out for one play.

2010 Boise State Football Broncos Rally to Win Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl Boise State 34, Louisville 31 December 30, 1999 – Bronco Stadium – Boise, Idaho “What a great day to be a Bronco!” Head coach Dirk Koetter pretty much summed it up in his opening comments to the press after Boise State’s 34-31 upset victory over the Louisville Cardinals in the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl in front of 29,283 screaming fans at Bronco Stadium. The game, which featured 10 lead changes, was the first Division I-A bowl victory in the history of the school. Offense was the story early as the Broncos and Cardinals combined for 31 first-quarter points. Louisville started the scoring with a 40-yard field goal by Jon Hilbert which capped a nine-play, 50-yard drive for the Cardinals. Boise State, 10-3, came right back at the Conference USA team. The Broncos marched 80 yards and scored on a 3-yard run by quarterback Bart Hendricks on a fourth-and-one play. Boise State didn’t lead for long. Chris Redman, the Johnny Unitas Award winner, hit Arnold Jackson on a 54-yard touchdown pass after avoiding a sack. Louisville led 10-7. The Broncos came right back, again on an 80-yard scoring drive. Hendricks capped the drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Shay Swan to give BSU a 14-10 lead. Once again Boise State wouldn’t hold the lead long. Just 18 seconds. Zek Parker returned the ensuing kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown to put Louisville ahead 17-14 after a quarter. It looked like Louisville would build on the lead. Redman had the Cardinals in scoring position, maybe ready to put the game away early. But Shaunard Harts stepped in front of a Redman pass and returned it 80 yards for a Bronco touchdown to put BSU back on top, 21-17. Boise State helped Louisville out with turnovers as well. The Broncos had a chance to push the lead to 10, but Davey Malaythong fumbled inside the Cardinals’ 10 to keep Louisville close. Another Bronco turnover let Louisville take the lead into the half. Louisville’s Lou Wallace recovered a Damien Schilling fumble on a punt in Bronco territory. Ten plays later, Redman found Damien Dorsey all alone in the end zone to give the Cardinals a 24-21 halftime lead. A pair of Nick Calaycay field goals were the only scores in the third quarter. Boise State led 27-24 going into the final 15 minutes. Early in the fourth quarter, Redman led the Cardinals on a six-play, 60-yard drive, which Frank Moreau capped with a 3-yard touchdown run. Louisville led 31-27. Boise State came right back. Malaythong scored on a 5-yard run to cap a 10-play, 60-yard drive to put BSU up 34-31. Louisville had a couple of chances to win late, but one drive ended with a punt. The second was stopped by a Kareem Williams interception, the third of the day for Redman. The first quarter was highlighted by a 50-yard screen pass to Brock Forsey. Forsey, a redshirt freshman, rushed for 152 yards and had a school record 269 all-purpose yards. The Meridian, Idaho, native rushed for 86 yards in the decisive second half in earning Crucial. com Humanitarian Bowl Most Valuable Player honors for Boise State.

2010 Boise State Football Broncos Win Second Straight Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl Boise State 38, UTEP 23 December 28, 2000 – Bronco Stadium – Boise, Idaho If Bart Hendricks hadn’t already etched his name into Bronco football lore, his performance in the 2000 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl made it a no-brainer. The senior quarterback earned the bowl’s Most Valuable Player honors by scoring three touchdowns and throwing for a fourth in leading Boise State to its second consecutive bowl win, 38-23 over Texas-El Paso. Hendricks’ biggest play of the game came just two minutes into the second half. With the Broncos holding a slim 17-10 lead, he turned a simple speed option play into a 77-yard touchdown run. Hendricks turned up field at the line of scrimmage, eluded a couple of UTEP defenders and then found a lane down the middle of the field. Three UTEP defenders never could catch Hendricks from behind, showing the speed that helped make him the 1999 and 2000 Big West Conference Offensive Player of the Year. After UTEP added a late third-quarter field goal to cut the lead to 24-13, Hendricks and company expanded the lead thanks to the efforts of punter Jeff Edwards. Facing fourth-and-four at its own 37-yard line, Boise State faked a punt on the first play of the fourth quarter. Edwards took the snap, hesitated momentarily and then broke up field. He broke the tackle just before the first down marker, and then slipped outside for a 22-yard gain. One play later, tailback and 1999 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl MVP Brock Forsey pushed the score to 31-13, taking a sweep play 41 yards for a touchdown. In a matter of just 20 seconds, Boise State had gone from punting to UTEP and holding an 11-point lead, to being up by three scores and close to landing the knockout punch. The Miners responded on their next two possessions, marching 50 yards in seven plays to answer the Forsey touchdown with a field goal, cutting the lead to 31-16. Texas-El Paso’s defense held the Broncos on the following possession. It took UTEP’s offense nine plays to score, cutting the Bronco lead to 31-23 with 7:45 to play. The Miner defense again answered the call, holding Boise State on the ensuing possession and forcing Boise State’s seventh punt of the game. But Bronco safety Travis Burgher forced UTEP’s third turnover of the game, stripping the ball free on the Miner’s punt return. Davy Malaythong came off the bottom of the pile with the ball and Boise State was back in business. Boise State’s next touchdown was the reverse of what Bronco fans seen had throughout the last two seasons. This time it was Hendricks who came out of the backfield in a pass pattern after handing the ball off on a fake run. Wide receiver Andre Banks threw the ball back across the field and Hendricks made his first career reception. The touchdown covered 11 yards as Hendricks went up to take the ball away from a UTEP defender in the end zone and seal the Bronco win at 38-23. Hendricks ended the game, and his impressive Bronco career, with 247 passing yards, a touchdown pass and two rushing touchdowns, while fittingly making the final Boise State touchdown of the 2000 season on a reception.

The victory capped an outstanding season for the Broncos as Boise State ended with a 12-1 overall record and its third Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl win in four years. Boise State won its first bowl game in 1999 with a 34-31 win over the University of Louisville. The Broncos successfully defended its H-Bowl title the next year (2000) with a 38-23 win over the University of Texas at El Paso. Boise State trailed 10-7 at the half for just the second time that season (the other coming at Arkansas, 24-0), while totaling just 107 yards of total offense before the break. It was a different story early in the second half. After forcing Iowa State to punt after three plays, the Broncos’ offense started to roll. Boise State scored on their first two possessions of the second half. Brock Forsey capped the first drive, which covered 54 yards on seven plays, with a 2-yard touchdown run. It was Forsey’s second touchdown of the day. On the next drive, Ryan Dinwiddie scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak after leading Boise State on a 10-play, 51-yard drive for a 21-10 Bronco lead. “I don’t think we woke up until halftime,” senior offensive lineman Rob Vian said, referring to the 10 a.m. kickoff. The Boise State defense kept the Cyclones and all-everything quarterback Seneca Wallace in check for most of the game. Iowa State managed just 275 total yards on offense, and Wallace finished with 83 yards rushing and 107 yards passing while completing just 13-of-38 passes. Three Broncos finished with double-digit tackles. Sophomore linebacker Andy Avalos had 13, Wes Nurse and Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl MVP Bobby Hammer each added 10. Hammer finished with a career-high in tackles, including three tackles for loss. The Bronco offense added a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, while Iowa State scored a meaningless touchdown with just 2:34 to play. The clincher for the Broncos came with 5:20 to play when Forsey scored his third touchdown of the game, his 32nd of the season, to give the Broncos a 27-10 lead. Dinwiddie connected with senior Lou Fanucchi with 27 seconds to play to account for the final touchdown. Forsey led the Broncos with 78 yards rushing on 24 carries. Dinwiddie completed 17-of-32 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown. Senior Billy Wingfield caught a game-best five passes for 64 yards to finish the season with 1,138 yards receiving, breaking the old record of 1,101 set by Kipp Bedard in 1981. “(Iowa State) had a good defense,” running back David Mikell said about Boise State’s lack of first-half points. “It’s funny, if we don’t score 60 points people say what’s wrong with the offense. I thought they did a good job.” Scoring Summary Iowa State Boise State

2010 Boise State Football Broncos Cap Second Straight Nationally Ranked Season with Victory in the Inaugural PlainsCapital Fort Worth Bowl Boise State 34, TCU 31 December 23, 2003 – Amon G. Carter Stadium – Fort Worth, Texas Ryan Dinwiddie ended his career as the most efficient passer in college football and led Boise State to its first bowl victory away from home. Dinwiddie threw for 325 yards and three touchdowns, the last an 18-yarder to Derek Schouman for the winning score, and the No. 18 Broncos beat No. 19 TCU 34-31 in the inaugural PlainsCapital Fort Worth Bowl. Dinwiddie hit 19-of-35 passes for 325 yards and three touchdowns to finish the season with 4,356 passing yards. He also completed his career with 9,809 passing yards, 82 touchdowns and just 20 interceptions. The win wasn’t secure until sophomore Mike Wynn, who had not attempted a kick for TCU all season, was well short on a 51-yard field goal try with seven seconds left. Prior to TCU’s failed field goal attempt, the Broncos missed a chance to clinch the game after Gabe Franklin’s diving interception gave the ball back to Boise State with 5:41left in the game. But Boise State then went three-and-out, giving the ball back to TCU with 3:27 left. In TCU’s final drive, the Horned Frogs converted a fourth-and-10 from their 20 when quarterback Brandon Hassell completed a 28-yard pass. The Frogs then converted on a fourth-and-one, when Lonta Hobbs just got the needed yards to the 28 with 40 seconds left. After three incomplete passes and a penalty, Wynn came out for a field goal attempt, but the kick was well short, securing the Bronco win. The score was tied at halftime with Boise State getting scoring plays from T.J. Acree on a 27-yard pass from Dinwiddie, a 54-yard reception from Dinwiddie to Jeff Carpenter, a 75-yard run by David Mikell and a 23-yard field goal by Tyler Jones. On the first play of the second half, Bronco linebacker Andy Avalos recovered a TCU fumble which led to a 37-yard field goal by Jones for a 27-24 Boise State lead. Another TCU fumble early in the fourth quarter led to Boise State’s final score, an 18-yard pass from Dinwiddie to tight end Derek Schouman. Acree was Boise State’s top receiver in the game with eight catches for 150 yards. Mikell finished the game with 101 rushing yards and Wes Nurse was the top Bronco tackler with 14, including 12 unassisted.

2010 Boise State Football Broncos Perfect Season Falls One Game Short in 44-40 Loss to Louisville in AutoZone Liberty Bowl Louisville 44, Boise State 40 December 31, 2004 – Liberty Bowl – Memphis, Tennessee Louisville snapped Boise State’s 22-game winning streak, which was the nation’s longest, in the highest-scoring game in Liberty Bowl history with a 44-40 victory. The Cardinals (11-1) won their third Liberty Bowl by handing the Broncos (11-1) their first loss since September 2003. Eric Shelton scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run with 6:48 left, as the eighth-ranked Cardinals held off the 10th-ranked Broncos on New Year’s Eve. The Broncos had one last chance to win after Art Carmody’s 19-yard field goal with 1:10 left put Louisville ahead by four. Quarterback Jared Zabransky drove the Broncos to the Louisville 30 before his final pass into the end zone was intercepted by Louisville safety Kerry Rhodes as time expired. Everyone expected a high-scoring game in a bowl pairing the nation’s top two offenses. The teams didn’t disappoint as they swapped the lead five times. The 84 combined points topped the 80 points by Colorado and Alabama in 1969 and was one of a handful of Liberty Bowl records set. Louisville won only for the second time in seven bowls despite a season-high four turnovers. The Cardinals rolled up 564 yards, topping 500 yards for the ninth time that season. This was the biggest game in school history for Boise State, a program that moved up to Division I-A in 1996. The Broncos, who played their first three bowls on the blue turf of Bronco Stadium, thought they could keep up with an offense that had trailed only Louisville for most yards and points in the country. But the Broncos, who lost 12 starters from their 2003 squad, finished with 284 yards offense, well below their 511.6-yard average. The teams still rewrote the Liberty Bowl record book. They combined for the most points in the first quarter with 24, and their 52 points were the most for the first half. Boise State kicker Tyler Jones had a record 48-yard field goal on the Broncos’ first drive, and Bronco linebacker Andy Avalos had a 92-yard interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter that bested the 79-yarder by Michael Jordan of Tulane in 1998. Boise State led as much as 34-21 early in the third quarter after scoring 24 straight points. The Cardinals settled down in the second half as quarterback Stefan LeFors drove them on an 81-play drive in eight plays, which he capped with a 14-yard TD toss to J.R. Russell. LeFors then gave Louisville the lead back at 35-34 when he ran in from a yard out with 2:17 left in the third. Boise State’s last lead was at 40-35 when Jon Helmandollar plunged in from 2 yards with 10:51 left. Zabransky finished the game completing 14-of-29 passes for 199 yards and one touchdown for the Broncos. T.J. Acree was Boise State’s top receiver with four catches for 57 yards and one score. Lee Marks led the Broncos rushing attack with 66 yards on 15 carries. Two Broncos were in double digits for tackles made with safety Cam Hall leading the team with 19 and rover Chris Carr adding 10.

2010 Boise State Football Second Half Rally Comes up Short in MPC Computers Bowl Loss to Boston College Boston College 27, Boise State 21 December 28, 2005 – MPC Computers Bowl – Boise, Idaho It was nearly a comeback for the ages. Boise State’s second-half rally came up just short as the Broncos lost 27-21 to No. 19 Boston College in the MPC Computers Bowl in Bronco Stadium. Boston College’s Ryan Glasper picked off Bronco quarterback Jared Zabransky’s pass in the end zone with 40 seconds to play to salvage a win for the Eagles, who led 27-0 with 1:30 to play in the third quarter. Boise State stormed back thanks to big plays. Zabransky found Drisan James with a 53-yard touchdown pass to pull the Broncos to within 27-7. The Broncos got the ball back when safety Marty Tadman picked off Matt Ryan at Boston College’s 33. The Broncos capitalized with a four-play drive for a touchdown that was capped by a Zabransky 2-yard touchdown run. Boise State crawled even closer after a big play on special teams. Quinton Jones returned a punt 92 yards for a score and Boise State was within a touchdown, 27-21. The Broncos got the chance to win the game with one final possession. Boise State drove to the Boston College 5-yard line after a fourth-and-nine conversion and a pass interference call on the Eagles. Zabransky found freshman Vinny Perretta for 32 yards on the fourth-and-nine to get the ball down to the Boston College 14. The Broncos’ drive and the hopes of continuing their 31-game home winning streak ended when Glasper picked off the pass. Jones finished the game with a school-record 151 punt return yards, and his 92-yard return for a touchdown tied the school record he set earlier in the season at Hawaii. Zabransky finished with 279 yards passing while completing 20-of-35 with one touchdown and two interceptions. Legedu Naanee had five catches for 52 yards, Perretta had a career-best four catches for a career-high 84 yards and Jerard Rabb and Jeff Carpenter had four catches each. Korey Hall led Boise State with 15 tackles, while Tadman had 11 tackles and an interception and Colt Brooks added 10 tackles. Scoring Summary Boise State Boston College BC BC BC BC BC BSU BSU BSU

2010 Boise State Football Boise State Shocks the Football World with Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Victory over Oklahoma Boise State 43, Oklahoma 42 (OT) January 1, 2007 – University of Phoenix Stadium – Glendale, Arizona
Bowl History
In what many say was the greatest game in college football history, ninth-ranked Boise State shocked the No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners 43-42 in overtime to win the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, leaving Boise State as the only undefeated team in the country. Boise State showed plenty of heart and resilience in edging the Sooners in one of the most amazing games in recent memory. In one of the most dramatic finishes in BCS history, the Sooners and the Broncos combined for 22 points in the final 86 seconds of regulation. Boise State lost an 18-point lead midway through the third quarter, then twice rallied from 7-point deficits. The Broncos appeared to be finished when Oklahoma cornerback Marcus Walker intercepted Jared Zabransky’s pass and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown to put the Sooners ahead 35-28 with 1:02 remaining. The magic began on a stunning 50-yard touchdown play on fourth-and-18 in the final seconds of regulation. Zabransky hit Drisan James at Oklahoma’s 35, and James pitched the ball to Jerard Rabb, who raced into the end zone with seven seconds to play. That play merely set the stage for more Bronco magic. Oklahoma’s Adrian Peterson opened the overtime with a 25-yard touchdown run. The Broncos answered with Vinny Perretta’s fourth-down touchdown pass to Derek Schouman. With Boise State down by a point, Petersen decided to go for the victory. On the decisive play, Zabransky looked at three wide receivers to his right, then handed the ball behind his back to tailback Ian Johnson, who raced untouched into the end zone for the winning 2-point conversion. The wild finish came after Boise State dominated the first 40 minutes, making it clear that the Western Athletic Conference champion deserved a BCS berth. The Broncos stunned the Sooners with two quick touchdowns to take a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter. The first came on a 49-yard touchdown pass from Zabransky to James. Zabransky froze the defense with a play-fake to Johnson, then fired to James, who was all alone 10 yards behind Walker. On the next series, defensive end Mike T. Williams sacked Sooners quarterback Paul Thompson, who fumbled. Williams recovered at Oklahoma’s 9. Two plays later, Johnson scored from 2 yards out to give the Broncos a 14-0 lead with 7:28 left in the first quarter. The Sooners cut the lead to 14-10 before Zabransky and James connected again shortly before the half for a 21-10 lead. Boise State’s lead was extended to 18 points midway through the third quarter when Marty Tadman intercepted a Sooner pass and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown. But Oklahoma didn’t go away quietly. The Sooners scored a field goal and two touchdowns to cut the Bronco lead to 28-26, with the extra point still to come with 1:26 remaining in regulation. After penalties on their first two 2-point conversion tries, Oklahoma finally converted on a pass play to tie the score at 28. That set the stage for the climax to one of the most celebrated college games ever.

2010 Boise State Football Last Second Field Goal Hands Broncos Defeat at Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl East Carolina 41, Boise State 38 December 23, 2007 – Aloha Stadium – Honolulu, Hawai’i HONOLULU (AP) – Ben Hartman kicked a 34-yard field goal as time expired to give East Carolina a 41-38 win over No. 24 Boise State in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl Chris Johnson led the Pirates setting an NCAA bowl record with 408 all-purpose yards. Johnson rushed for 223 yards, caught three passes for 32 yards and returned six kickoffs for 153 yards. But he committed a costly fumble late that almost sent it to overtime. With East Carolina trying to run out the clock near midfield, Boise State’s Marty Tadman scooped up Johnson’s fumble and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown to tie it at 38 with 1:25 left. The Pirates took possession at their 39 with 1:16 left and drove to the Broncos 17 to set up Hartman’s kick. The Broncos (10-3), making their sixth straight bowl appearance, almost repeated their last-minute magic from a year ago when they stunned Oklahoma in overtime in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl to finish 13-0. The Pirates appeared to have the game in hand when they took a 38-14 lead early in the third quarter on Brandon Simmons’ 3-yard TD run. The Broncos, however, hung in and reeled off 24 straight points. D.J. Harper’s 1-yard TD plunge cut East Carolina’s lead to 38-31 with 7:09 left. Boise State was driving to tie the game in the final minutes when East Carolina recovered a Bronco fumble which set up the Pirates at their 39 with 1:45 left. But East Carolina’s Johnson couldn’t hang on to the ball as he struggled to add a few more yards to his record, and Tadman returned the fumble for a touchdown. The usually explosive Broncos looked rusty and unprepared in the first half. They went three-and-out on their first four possessions, followed by an interception, touchdown and fumble. Boise State managed just 3 yards of offense in the first quarter while East Carolina racked up 181 behind Johnson’s 106 rushing yards. The Broncos’ lone highlight in the first quarter was Austin Smith’s 89-yard kickoff return for a TD. In the second quarter, Ryan Putnam caught a 3-yard pass from Tharp to cut East Carolina’s lead to 10. Freshman running back Jeremy Avery was named Boise State’s most valuable player in the game, gaining 69 yards on 10 carries, catching four passes for 43 yards and one touchdown and returning two kickoffs for 41 yards. Another Bronco freshman, Austin Pettis, was Boise State’s top receiver with nine catches for 89 yards.

2010 Boise State Football Broncos come up short in one point loss to TCU at San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl TCU 17, Boise State 38 December 23, 2008 – Qualcomm Stadium – San Diego, California SAN DIEGO (AP) -TCU’s Joseph Turner’s 17-yard run midway through the fourth quarter gave the No. 11 Horned Frogs their first lead of the night, which they preserved for a 17-16 victory over No. 9 and previously undefeated Boise State in the Poinsettia Bowl. Boise State (12-1) was trying to finish 13-0 for the second time in three seasons. The Broncos took a 10-0 lead on Ian Johnson’s 20-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter, but their high-scoring offense bogged down against TCU’s fast, aggressive defense. TCU (11-2) piled up yards if not points until finally wearing down the Broncos’ defense in the fourth quarter. The Horned Frogs moved 80 yards in 10 plays on the winning drive, with Turner finishing it off by shedding a tackle inside the 5-yard line and diving into the end zone for a 17-13 lead. There wouldn’t be a crazy, victorious finish for Johnson and the Broncos as there was two years ago in their memorable, highly entertaining overtime win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. After Turner’s TD, Boise State got to the TCU 14 before having to settle for Kyle Brotzman’s 33-yard field goal to pull to 17-16. The Broncos got the ball back with 6 seconds left on their 33 and tried to lateral the ball after a catch, but Jeremy Childs’ desperation flip was grabbed by TCU’s Matt Panfil. TCU outgained Boise State 472 yards to 250. BSU had only 28 yards rushing. BSU came in averaging 39 points and 456 yards, one of the benefits of dominating the Western Athletic Conference. Johnson scored on a 20-yard run midway through the first quarter. It was his 58th career rushing TD, breaking former San Diego State star Marshall Faulk’s WAC record and giving the Broncos a 10-0 lead. Broncos quarterback Kellen Moore faked a sweep handoff to Childs, then handed to Johnson, who broke outside and found an open field. Officials brought to the ball to the sideline for Johnson to keep. The Broncos needed the cushion, because TCU’s fast, aggressive defense finally clamped down. Boise State defensive end Byron Hout intercepted Andy Dalton midway through the second quarter, and his 62-yard return included a nice spin move to get away from one TCU player and a stiff arm against another Horned Frog. Hout was a running back in high school. Hout returned the ball to the TCU 11, but the Broncos had to settle for Brotzman’s 24-yard field goal and a 13-0 lead.

Doug Martin Scores Winning Touchdown
2010 Boise State Football Broncos Capture Second Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Title in Four Years with Victory over TCU Boise State 17, TCU 10 January 4, 2010 – University of Phoenix Stadium – Glendale, Arizona GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -Boise State reached into its bag of tricks again and stunned TCU in a Fiesta Bowl duel of unbeaten BCS busters. After the Broncos pulled off a gutsy fake punt at their own 33-yard line, Doug Martin scored the decisive touchdown to give No. 6 Boise State a 17-10 victory over third-ranked TCU. A 10-10 stalemate came alive when punter Kyle Brotzman hit wide-open Kyle Efaw with a 30-yard strike with about nine minutes to play. Four plays later, Martin dove over a tackler from two yards out as the Broncos became the second school ever to go 14-0, joining Ohio State in 2002. (Alabama would also go 14-0 when it won the national championship later in the week.) The trickery evoked memories of Boise State’s BCS debut three years ago, when it pulled out a passel of gadget plays to defeat Oklahoma on the same field. Unlike that thriller, this game offered little drama until Petersen made another surprising call. The Broncos caught the Horned Frogs napping on the fake punt. Kellen Moore then completed three straight passes to advance to the two, and Martin scored to put Boise State up 17-10 with 7:21 to go. TCU took over at its own one with 1:06 remaining and marched to the Boise State 30 before cornerback Brandyn Thompson disrupted a pass by Andy Dalton, and Winston Venable picked it off to end the threat. Moore passed for 211 yards. Dalton finished with 272 yards and a score through the air, but was intercepted three times. Brotzman also made a 40-yard field goal midway through the second to make it 10-0, putting the Horned Frogs in the biggest hole they had faced all season. Boise State is known for its offense. But its defense did most of the work in this one. Thompson set up the winning drive with its second interception of the game. He returned his first pick 51 yards for the game’s first score. This was TCU’s first BCS game, and the Horned Frogs seemed a little jittery, with six first-half penalties and some early struggles by Dalton, who also fumbled a snap to go along with his three interceptions. Neither team could muster an offensive touchdown until the final minute of the first half, when Dalton hit Curtis Clay for a 30-yard score to make it 10-7 at halftime. The Horned Frogs capitalized on Boise State’s first turnover to pull even midway through the third. The Broncos had moved into Horned Frogs territory when All-American defensive end Jerry Hughes stripped Martin and recovered the ball at TCU’s 43-yard line. Eight plays later, Ross Evans kicked a 29-yard field goal to tie it at 10. The Broncos struck first on the return by Thompson, who cut in front of Antoine Hicks, picked off the pass and raced untouched into the end zone in the first quarter. Dalton had thrown only five interceptions in 279 pass attempts during the regular season, when he earned first-team All-Mountain West Conference honors. But the Broncos put pressure on Dalton from the start; late in the first quarter, unblocked cornerback Kyle Wilson blitzed and flattened Dalton, who came out for one play.

Led by quarterback Eric Guthrie, the 1971 Boise State football team provided Bronco fans with one big win after another en route to a 10-2 overall record. Guthrie started the season with a bang, throwing for 297 yards in Boise State’s season opening 42-14 throttling of the University of Idaho in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. All told, he would lead the Broncos to nine regular season victories, including a perfect 7-0 mark at Bronco Stadium. A successful regular season earned Boise State a spot opposite Chico State in the Camellia Bowl, held in Sacramento, California. It would take a monster fourth quarter to end the 1971 season with a bowl victory, as Boise State scored 25 points in the final 15 minutes to pull out a thrilling 32-28 victory over a stunned Chico State team. Guthrie completed 19-of-43 passes for 282 yards during the nationally televised game and was named Camellia Bowl MVP by ABC Sports.
The dream season for Boise State football took place in 1980 as the Broncos captured not only the Big Sky Conference title but also the NCAA Division I-AA national championship. A convincing 28-7 road victory over Division I-A Utah set the stage for what would be a memorable year. Boise State picked up wins in eight of its final nine games, while outscoring the Big Sky opposition by an average of 17 points per game en route to a league-best 6-1 record. Boise State’s march to the national title included a 14-9 upset semifinal victory over highly touted Grambling on a cold and foggy day in Bronco Stadium. Quarterback Joe Aliotti threw scoring passes to Cedric Minter and Kipp Bedard, just supplying enough offense for the win. But it was the Bronco defense that stole the show, limiting Grambling to just 41 passing yards and preserving the victory with a big defensive stand just yards from the goal line on Grambling’s final possession. The Broncos did not let a ticket to the national championship game slip away, downing Eastern Kentucky in arguably one of the greatest football game in Boise State history. After falling 1980 Broncos: 10-3 Overall; 6-1 Big behind 29-24 with less than a minute to play, Aliotti led the Sky; Big Sky Conference Champions; Broncos on a game-winning drive that took just 43 seconds off the game clock, but will be remembered forever by those NCAA Division I-AA National close to the Bronco program. The final scoring play came on Champions fourth-and-10 with 20 seconds to play, as Aliotti scrambled far Head Coach: Jim Criner to the right and threw back across the field to tight end Duane Dlouhy, who caught the game winner in the left corner of the end zone for a 31-29 lead to secure the dream season.
2010 Boise State Football Magical is the only way to describe the 1994 season, as an unknown group of Broncos went from 3-8 in 1993 all the way to 13-2 a year later. Along the way, Boise State upset the No. 1, 2 and 3 ranked teams in the country and ignited the fans of Boise. The magical season opened with a sixgame win streak, including a 37-27 victory over Division I-A Nevada in mid-September. If that wasn’t enough, the Broncos put together a seven-game win streak during October, November and December. Included in that streak was an emotional 27-24 victory over Idaho, which sealed the Big Sky Conference title. Three home games during the Division I-AA 1994 Broncos: 13-2 Overall; 6-1 Big Sky; playoffs supplied Boise with plenty of heart-stopping moments. Cornerback DaWuan Miller’s fourth-quarter interception capped Big Sky Conference Champions; NCAA an amazing come-from-behind win over North Texas in the first Division I-AA National Runner-up round. Two Tony Hilde touchdown passes to Ryan Ikebe were Head Coach: Pokey Allen just enough for the Broncos to survive Appalachian State in the quarterfinals. That set up a semifinal showdown with powerful Marshall, and another comeback which included 21 unanswered points and a late defensive stand that sealed a 28-24 Boise State victory. Some say the Broncos used up their remaining magic in that semifinal victory and didn’t have enough to overcome top-ranked Youngstown State in the Division I-AA national championship game at Huntington, West Virginia. But despite the 28-14 loss, the 1994 season may have been the most exciting in school history as the Broncos set a school record for wins and completed the second-best one-season turnaround in NCAA history.

Unchartered territory. That’s where the 1999 Boise State football team traveled. Behind a 10-3 overall record and a 34-31 victory over Louisville in the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl, the 1999 Broncos earned Boise State its first-ever Division I-A conference championship and bowl victory. The Broncos shook off a sluggish 1-2 start to the season, winning nine of the final 10 games. The midseason turnaround started with backto-back victories over Mountain West Conference foes New Mexico and Utah and ended with a dominating 45-14 victory over Idaho to wrap up the Big West title. During the team’s six-game win streak to end the season, Boise State was simply overpowering. The Broncos outscored the opposition by an average margin of 45.3-20.8 per game, with three of the six games during that memorable stretch decided by 30 points or more. A Big West crown kept the team at home during the bowl season, as the Broncos took part in Boise’s very own 1999 Broncos: 10-3 Overall; 5-1 Big Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl. In what proved to be one of West; Big West Conference Champions; the most exciting bowl games of the 1999 season, the H-Bowl Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl featured 10 lead changes and 65 total points. Three lead changes highlighted the fourth quarter alone, as the Broncos Champions. struck last and then hung on in the closing minutes for the Head Coach: Dirk Koetter victory over Louisville.

One of the most difficult tasks in athletics is repeating a championship performance. For the Boise State football team, one goal stood above all others during the 2000 season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; duplicating the success of 1999 when the Broncos went from unknown to Big West Conference and Crucial. com Humanitarian Bowl champions. But unlike the previous year, Boise State was far from an unknown in 2000 as expections and preseason hype, which included a top 25 ranking by the New York Times and the overwhelming choice by Big West media and coaches to repeat as league champions, followed the team from the start of fall practice through the regular season finale in mid-November. Head coach Dirk Koetter and his staff preached a one-game-at-a-time approach, beginning with a seasonopening road trip to the University of New Mexico. The Broncos jumped on the Mountain West Conference Lobos early, and set the tone for a championship season with a 31-14 road victory to start the year. An impressive start to the season continued into Big West Conference play, as the Broncos reeled off six straight wins to end the regular season. Included was a perfect 5-0 league record, in which domination was the only way to describe Boise State. The Broncos averaged 53 points per game and outscored their Big West opposition by an average of 32 points per game. The 2000 season culminated with a second straight invite to the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl, where the Broncos met Western Athletic Conference co-champion UTEP. Led by senior quarterback Bart Hendricks, Boise State built a 31-13 second half lead en route to a 38-23 victory and back-to-back bowl championships. Hendricks earned game MVP honors after accounting for four touchdowns. It capped an incredible season for the record-setting quarterback as he earned Big West Offensive Player of the Year honors, was a finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, set 10 different single season or career school records, led the nation in touchdown passes and was the highest-rated passer in the country. Boise State met its ultimate goal in 2000, repeating as conference and bowl champions. National attention followed as well when the Broncos produced consecutive 10-win seasons and finished the season ranked 33rd in the country by the Associated Press and 37th in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll.

2010 Boise State Football
Boise State had never experienced a season like the one in 2002. Minus one seven-turnover hiccup at Arkansas, it may have been a perfect season. The Broncos raced to a 12-1 record, finished the WAC season with a perfect 8-0 mark, cracked both the ESPN/ USA Today and Associated Press Top 25 polls for the first time in school history and won their third Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl in four years. Along the way, Boise State put together the country’s top scoring offense, led the nation in total offensive yards and was the most efficient passing team in I-A football. The Broncos had the nation’s leading scorer, Brock Forsey, who tallied a school-record 32 touchdowns and swept the WAC’s postseason awards in the three major categories. Forsey was honored as the Offensive Player of the Year, while safety Quintin Mikell was named the Defensive Player of the Year and head coach Dan Hawkins earned Coach of the Year honors. The Bronco offense rolled over just about everybody. The 2002 WAC champs scored over 50 points in four straight games and in five of six at one point. Included in that run was a pair of 60-point games, 63-38 win over Utah State and an amazing 67-21 win over Fresno State. Throw in a 58-31 win over WAC runner-up Hawai’i in that stretch and you can see why Boise State placed four players – Forsey, quarterback Ryan Dinwiddie, center Scott Huff, and right guard Rob Vian – on the All-WAC first team, and one more (wide receiver Billy Wingfield) on the All-WAC second team. While the offense received the majority of the headlines, the Bronco defense proved to be the best in the WAC. The Bronco “D” held four opponents under 10 points, all of those efforts coming during the last five weeks of season. While Mikell was the only Bronco to earn first-team all-league honors, three others were on the second team – defensive end Ryan Nelson, linebacker Chauncey Ako and cornerback Gabe Franklin. The Bronco special teams were, well, special. Tim Gilligan and David Mikell were two of the top return men in college football, while a hard-hitting coverage team led by Kameron Merritt, Donny Heck, and Brad Allen provided big play after big play. Kickers Nick Calaycay and Tyler Jones both helped spark Boise State to wins. Calaycay finished the season sixth in the nation in scoring despite missing three games with an injury, while Jones was so adept at kicking off for touchbacks that he was named special teams player of the week following Boise State’s 58-3 win at UTEP. In the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl the Broncos capped the season with the one missing piece that has plagued the program since moving up to NCAA Division I-A – a win over a power conference team. The victim would be Iowa State of the Big 12 as the Broncos overcame a sluggish first half before posting a 34-16 victory. When the 2002 season began, the motto for the season was “Leave No Doubt.” Following a WAC championship, a 12-1 record, a top 25 ranking and a postseason bowl victory, the Broncos “Left No Doubt.”

For the second straight season, the Boise State football team made noise on the national scene. A year after cracking the top 25 for the first time and winning a third bowl game in four years, and despite losing eight starters on offense, the 2003 Bronco team may have bested the incredible season put together by the 2002 team. Boise State climbed into the national rankings, where it finished 15th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, 16th in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and 17th in the final BCS rankings. Once again the Broncos raced through the WAC, winning all eight of their league games. But this time, Boise State did it with arguably the toughest road schedule in school history, winning at Fresno State, Hawai’i, and Louisiana Tech among others. And this time the Broncos won a bowl away from the friendly confines of Bronco Stadium, capping their 13-1 season with an impressive 34-31 win over TCU in the PlainsCapital Fort Worth Bowl on the Horned Frogs’ home field. The only thing that kept the Broncos from the first undefeated season in school history was a narrow, and controversial, 26-24 loss at Oregon State during the third week of the season. Boise State dominated its opponents on both offense and defense during the season, winning by a combined score of 43.0 to 17.1. Boise State ranked first in the country in scoring for the second straight season. The Broncos also finished third in passing efficiency, fifth in passing offense and seventh in total offense. The Broncos were nearly as productive on defense, finishing 12th in scoring defense, 11th in rushing defense and seventh in pass efficiency defense. On special teams the Broncos were 15th in both kickoff and punt returns. Individually, Ryan Dinwiddie capped a stellar career, earning WAC Offensive Player of the Year honors while setting a NCAA career passing efficiency record. Tim Gilligan, who set a single-season receiving yards record at Boise State, Andy Avalos, Wes Nurse and Julius Roberts joined Dinwiddie on the All-WAC first team. Boise State also placed 11 other Broncos on either the All-WAC second team or on the All-WAC honorable mention team. Nine of the 11 starters on defense earned All-WAC recognition, while six starters on offense and the Broncos‘ field goal kicker also earned All-WAC honors.

The 2004 football season is one that will go down in the history books as one of the greatest in school history at the time. Coming into the year, few expected it could get any better than what had happened over the previous two seasons. They were wrong. After back-to-back one-loss regular seasons and the loss of 12 starters from the 2003 team, experts thought Boise State’s run among the nation’s elite was over. They were wrong as well. Despite fielding the second-youngest team in the country, and despite losing five starters to injury that forced the Broncos to turn to young untested players, the 2004 Boise State team found a way to accomplish a number of things most thought were out of its reach. The Broncos picked up their first-ever win over a Pac-10 team, climbed as high as No. 10 in both major polls while peaking at No. 7 in the BCS standings, and finished the regular season undefeated for the first time as a four-year school. It all started with 65-7 manhandling of rival Idaho, the largest margin of victory in the history of the rivalry. Boise State racked up 572 yards, while limiting Idaho to 212, 71 of which came on one play with 1:20 left in the game. Along the way it included a win over Oregon State (the first ever over a Pac-10 team), thrilling last-second wins against BYU, Tulsa and San Jose State, and the Broncos’ third straight undefeated WAC season The Broncos accomplished nearly every goal they set for the season – an undefeated regular season record, a third straight WAC title, a WAC-record 26 straight league wins and 22 straight overall wins before a heartbreaking 44-40 loss to Louisville in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Nationally, the Broncos finally received the recognition they deserved during the three-season run in the top 25. Boise State got front page coverage in USA Today as well as feature articles in the Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and the New York Times, among others. Individual honors came as well. Daryn Colledge, Tyler Jones, and Jared Zabransky received All-America honors, with Jones being named a finalist for the prestigious Lou Groza Award honoring the nation’s top kicker. In all, 16 Broncos were named to the All-WAC team, with six separate Broncos – Colledge, Jones, T.J. Acree, Andy Avalos, Gabe Franklin and Korey Hall – earning first-team All-WAC honors.

The waters weren’t as smooth on the journey but the end result was just as nice. Unlike the previous two seasons, Boise State ran into some adversity during the 2005 season, but the Broncos battled through it and the result was a character-building fourth straight Western Athletic Conference championship – a run of championships that tied USC for the longest current streak in the country. Few teams in WAC history have been able to match the dominance that Boise State continued in 2005. Other than the BYU team that won nine straight titles in the late 1970s and early ‘80s, no WAC team except Boise State had managed to win four straight league titles. The Broncos continued their dominance with one of the youngest teams in college football. The Broncos started just four seniors, the fewest in the country. Boise State also had 23 freshmen or sophomores on the two-deep roster, including four freshmen who started at least one game. Three Broncos – Daryn Colledge, Alex Guerrero and Korey Hall – were named first-team All-WAC while four others – Lee Marks, Drisan James, Andrew Browning and Marty Tadman – earned second-team honors. Freshmen Ryan Clady and Orlando Scandrick each were named to freshman All-America team, while punt returner Quinton Jones earned second-team All-America honors from the Sporting News and honorable mention All-America honors from SI.com. The season didn’t get off to the start the Broncos had hoped for with losses at Georgia and Oregon State. The Broncos rallied, winning their next seven games, including an impressive 49-14 win over WAC co-champion Nevada. Boise State also had impressive wins over Bowling Green, San Jose State, Utah State and New Mexico State in that stretch, with a thrilling win over Hawai’i and a win over Portland State to run its record to 7-2. After a loss at Fresno State snapped Boise State’s conference record winning streak at 31 games, the Broncos bounced back with wins against archrival Idaho (the seventh straight over the Vandals) and Louisiana Tech to claim the school’s fourth-straight WAC crown and sixth conference title in seven years. A heart-breaking 27-21 loss to Boston College in the MPC Computers Bowl ended a season that showed the character and resolve of the 2005 WAC champions. Trailing the Eagles 27-0 late in the fourth quarter, the Broncos stormed back, only to lose when they had a pass intercepted in the end zone with just over a minute to play. Much like the 2005 season as a whole, the bowl game showed Boise State’s will to win and character to overcome early adversity.

2010 Boise State Football
With apologies to the 1980 season and the three-year run from 2002-2004 when Boise State compiled a 36-3 record and won three straight Western Athletic Conference championships without losing a league game, there is no doubt that the 2006 season was the greatest in school history. The Broncos capped a perfect 13-0 season with a 43-42 overtime win over national-power Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, which will go down in history as one of the greatest college football games ever played. “Circus” – the hook and lateral play from Jared Zabransky to Drisan James to Jerard Rabb for the tying touchdown with seconds to play – and “Statue Left” – the Statue of Liberty play that saw Zabransky stick the ball behind his back with Ian Johnson grabbing it and racing to the end zone for the gamewinning 2-point conversion – will forever be etched in the memories of Bronco fans. As will Vinny Perretta’s tailback option touchdown pass to Derek Schouman after quarterback Zabransky went in motion on fourth-and-two in overtime that set up “Statue Left.” The New York Times called it “…a dizzying, riveting, back-and-forth game that will be remembered as one of the most exciting in college football history,” while Pat Forde of ESPN.com said “…beyond the big picture was the delicious, utterly improbable manner in which the Broncos did it. And true genius. No coaching staff has ever ended a game with so much daring.” Individually the season was much more than one win that resulted in Boise State finishing the season a school-best fifth in the Associated Press Top 25 and sixth in the USA Today coaches poll. Head coach Chris Petersen earned the “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year Award while Ian Johnson earned first-team All-America recognition from SI.com and CBSSportsline.com, second-team All-America honors from the Sporting News and third-team All-America accolades from the Associated Press. Ryan Clady was named second-team All-America pick by SI.com. Linebacker Korey Hall earned WAC Defensive Player of the Year honors, leading 12 players who were named either firstor second-team All-WAC. On defense joining Hall as a first-team selection was defensive tackle Andrew Browning. Safety Marty Tadman earned second-team recognition along with linebacker Colt Brooks. On offense Johnson, who led the nation in touchdowns and scoring and finished second in rushing, and Clady claimed first-team honors along with wide receiver Legedu Naanee and tight end Derek Schouman. Offensive guard Jeff Cavender was a second-team all-league choice while on special teams kicker Anthony Montgomery was a first-team All-WAC pick and punter Kyle Stringer was a second-teamer.

The 2008 Boise State football season started in a way that was very unfamiliar to Bronco Nation. For the first time in six seasons the Broncos were not the defending Western Athletic Conference Champions, and their journey to regaining the conference title would come on the arm of a freshman 2008 Broncos: 12-1 Overall; 8-0 WAC; quarterback and the support of an inexperienced offensive line. WAC Champions; San Diego County Skeptics were quickly turned to believers once again, Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl however, as the Broncos rolled to a perfect 12-0 regular season Participant record, 8-0 in the WAC, en route to their sixth conference championship in seven seasons. Final National Rankings: No. 9 BCS; Along the way Boise State made history, first with Kellen No. 11 Associated Press; No. 13 USA Moore who became the only freshman quarterback in school history to start a season opener. Just weeks later the Broncos Today Coaches earned their first ever road win against a Pac-10/BCS conference Head Coach: Chris Petersen school with an exciting 37-32 win at the University of Oregon. Their big win over the Ducks put the Broncos into the national rankings at No. 19, just four weeks into the season. Boise State would climb as high as No. 9 in the Associated Press Top-25 and would maintain that spot for five consecutive polls. After their only stumble of the season, a 17-16 loss to No. 13 TCU in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, the Broncos finished the regular season ranked No. 11 in both the BCS and the AP Polls. One of the keys to Boise State’s success in the national rankings was the team’s offensive firepower in the second half of the season. After a few weeks of adjusting to a new signal caller, the offense really began to roll. In the final five games of the regular season Boise State averaged 49 points per game, including a 61-point effort against Fresno State to finish the season. But despite all of the excitement on offense, the real story of the year was the dominating Bronco defense that led the WAC in total defense (308.2 yards per game); pass efficiency defense (94.4 rating) and scoring defense (12.6 points per game), which was the fourth fewest point per game average for a season in school history. It was no surprise then, that the Broncos would earn 12 conference awards at the end of the year, including Head Coach Chris Petersen’s first-ever WAC Coach of the Year honor. Petersen was also named a finalist for the Bear Bryant National Coach of the Year award. He was joined by wide receiver Jeremy Childs, cornerback Kyle Wilson, offensive lineman Andrew Woodruff, defensive end Ryan Winterswyk and linebacker Ellis Powers, who were all named First Team All-WAC. Boise State also received Second Team All-WAC honors for six different players; Wilson (as a specialist), Moore, wide receiver Austin Pettis, running back Ian Johnson, defensive end Mike T. Williams and safety Jeron Johnson.
2010 Boise State Football
The Boise State football team kicked-off the 2009 season with lofty expectations, as the Broncos looked to defend their Western Athletic Conference championship and improve upon a near perfect season in 2008. Led by a talented bunch of experienced young players, Boise State managed to surpass all of the preseason hype en route to another historic season. The Broncos opened the season ranked No. 14, which marked the highest preseason ranking ever for Boise State. It didn’t take long for the Broncos to prove they were worthy of the early season praise either, as they put together an impressive 13-0 regular season record with an 8-0 record against WAC opponents. Boise State capped its incredible year with a 17-10 win over No. 4 TCU in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, which marked the second Fiesta Bowl victory for the Broncos in four years. Boise State used an impressive 19-8 win over No. 16 Oregon in the Broncos’ highly anticipated season opener to catapult them through the next 12 weeks of the season. Boise State would roll through its regular season schedule with only one game being played within single digit scoring (Tulsa, 28-21). Their dominating play led the Broncos to historic levels in both the AP and USA Today Coaches Polls. Boise State’s quick rise up the national rankings first made history on Sept. 20 as the Broncos achieved the highest regular season ranking (No. 8) in program history. Boise State managed to break the record again just one week later as the Broncos moved up to No. 5 nationally. Following the Fiesta Bowl victory, Boise State reached its highest ever national ranking at No. 4 in both the AP and Coaches polls. The Broncos enjoyed another season of high powered offense that led the nation in scoring at 42.2 points per game. Boise State topped the 40-point mark 10 different times throughout the season, including four games scoring over 50 points. The Broncos maintained a balanced offensive attack that boasted the No. 26 rushing offense (186.07 yards per game) and No. 29 passing offense (264.14 ypg) in the nation. As a unit Boise State finished 2009 ranked 10th in total offense (450.21 ypg). Defensively the Broncos were equally as dominant, holding opponents to just 17.1 points per game throughout the season. Boise State boasted the No. 14 defense in the country having allowed just 300.21 yards per game on the year. Similar to the Bronco offense, Boise State was balanced on defense with the No. 21 pass defense (179.86 ypg) and No. 28 rush defense (120.36 ypg) in the nation. Following their dominating performance in conference play the Broncos received 11 All-WAC honors, including a pair of high individual honors by head coach Chris Petersen and sophomore quarterback Kellen Moore. Petersen received his second WAC Coach of the Year award, while Moore was voted WAC Offensive Player of the Year for the first time in his career. Moore was joined by five other players in receiving first-team All-WAC honors. On offense, junior wide receivers Austin Pettis and Titus Young, and sophomore offensive lineman Nate Potter were named first-team all-conference honorees. On defense, junior defensive end Ryan Winterswyk and senior cornerback Kyle Wilson also earned first-team honors. Young also was voted first-team All-WAC as a specialist. Boise State filled four spots on the All-WAC second team, as junior running back Jeremy Avery, sophomore defensive tackle Billy Winn, junior linebacker Winston Venable and junior safety Jeron Johnson received second-team nominations.

2010 Boise State Football Wilcox, Trautman Earn Football’s Ultimate Honor Former Bronco greats Dave Wilcox and Randy Trautman have more in common than their places in Boise State football lore and their inductions in the university’s Athletic Hall of Fame. The two have also achieved their sport’s ultimate honor. The former All-Americans played in different eras for Boise State, but they will be forever linked by their accomplishments on the field and their respective enshrinement in football’s two halls of fame. Wilcox, a two-way lineman for Boise Junior College in 1960 and ’61, finished his collegiate career at Oregon and went on to become one of the top linebackers in NFL history, earning Pro Bowl honors seven times during his 11 years with the San Francisco 49ers. Wilcox retired from football in 1975, and in 2000 he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Trautman, a defensive tackle for the Broncos from 1978-81 and Boise State’s most honored football player, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.
Wilcox: Lyle Smith’s Most Outstanding Player
A native of Caldwell, Trautman was the first player from the state of Idaho to be named to the College Football Hall of Fame. He is the only Bronco football player to receive four first-team All-America awards af ter being named to both the Kodak and Associated Press Division I-AA All-America squads his junior and senior seasons. A defensive stalwart on Boise State’s 1980 NCAA Division I-AA national championship team, Trautman also received first-team AllBig Sky Conference honors that year and in 1981. “That [national championship] ring brought us together like a marriage,” said Trautman of the 1980 Broncos. “We sweated, we bled, we beat on each other, and we went through it all together. We tasted something together very few have tasted.” Trautman finished his career at Boise State with 266 total tackles, including 29 for losses. He was selected in the ninth round of the NFL draft by the Washington Redskins and played for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League from 1982-85. He was inducted into Boise State’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1990.
Fierce Competitors Both Wilcox and Trautman were known as fierce competitors who relished the challenge of playing football at the highest levels. Now that Wilcox is among pro football’s elite, feigned humility seems unnecessary. “You have to know you’re good if you’re playing in the NFL,” he said. “When you go up against guys like [offensive linemen] Bob Brown, Forrest Gregg, Ron Yary and Tom Mack; tight ends like John Mackey, Mike Ditka and Ron Kramer; and then have to chase down runners like Gale Sayers for 11 seasons, you can’t be lacking in confidence in your ability.” Trautman was known for sometimes being testy during his playing days with Boise State, but it was a result, he says, of his burning desire to succeed. “I’ve always been competitive in everything I do,” he said. “I know I wasn’t easy to get along with. We came to win, and if you’re not playing to win, then you’re in the wrong program. … If people thought I was [trying to be] intimidating, it wasn’t that. I just wanted to see their enthusiasm and their goals directed to winning.” Their careers at Boise State were 20 years apart, but hall of famers Dave Wilcox and Randy Trautman have plenty in common besides their membership among football’s best.
Bronco Hall of Famers
Legendary BJC coach Lyle Smith called Wilcox the most outstanding player he coached during his 20 years at the Bronco helm, which is quite a compliment considering that Smith’s program produced 21 JC AllAmericans during his coaching tenure. “He never had a second gear; he was in high gear all the way,” said Smith of Wilcox. “He just went real hard at practice and in the games. I was not surprised that he did so well as a professional.” A native of Vale, Ore., Wilcox was a twotime junior college AllAmerican on teams that finished 8-2 and 9-1 under Smith. “I had more fun in Boise than anywhere else as far as playing football,” said Wilcox, who also was a record-setting member of the BJC track team in the shot put and discus. “We had some outstanding players and excellent teams. Coach Smith is an outstanding person. He touched a lot of lives.” Wilcox will be inducted into the 49ers Hall of Fame in October of 2009, and in 1982 was inducted into Boise State’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

2010 Boise State Football Bronco Stadium and Lyle Smith (right) Field is the home of Boise State University football and the annual Udrove Humanitarian Bowl. Smith is the undisputed “father” of Bronco football, who from 1946 through 1967 built one of the top junior college programs in the country. When he retired from his head coaching position to become the athletic director, Smith had a record of 156-6-6 (84.6%). Prior to the 2008 season, the stadium received its third major expansion with the completion of the Stueckle Sky Center. The four-level, $35.9 million facility includes loge, club and luxary suite seating, along with a state-of-the-art press box. An additional 1,500 south end zone seats were added in 2009 to bring the current capacity to 33,500. The second major expansion of the stadium came in 1997 when capacity was increased to 30,000 when additional seating in the southwest and southeast corners, construction of the Allen Noble Hall of Fame Gallery and completion of the Larry and Marianne Williams Plaza was completed at a cost of $10 million. Originally constructed with 14,500 seats at a cost of $2.2 million in 1970, Bronco Stadium was first expanded to 20,000 in 1974 when the east side upper deck was added. Portable end zone seating brought the capacity of Bronco Stadium to 22,600 through the 1996 season. Bronco Stadium is also home to the only blue field in the United States. Blue “Field Turf” was installed once again during the summer of 2010, making it the fifth blue field at the stadium. Boise State established a first in 1986 by installing the first blue AstroTurf field. The second blue AstroTurf field was installed in 1995, with the third prior to the 2002 season. The first Blue Fieldturf surface was installed in 2008. Boise State’s was the first collegiate stadium to have the entire field produced in a special color. There were two previous green AstroTurf fields installed prior to 1986. The first was during the original construction of the current stadium in 1970, with the second installed prior to the 1978 season.

Now in his eighth year, he leads the university in a time of dynamic growth in student enrollment, new construction, fundraising and research. Long heralded for its devotion to classroom teaching, Boise State has expanded its mission to become an emerging metropolitan research university of distinction.

2010 Boise State Football GENE BLEYMAIER, Boise State Director of Athletics While Boise State has enjoyed unprecedented success on the playing fields, courts and in the classroom, it has also drastically improved its facilities under Bleymaier’s direction. In August of 2008 the most expensive capital project in the history of Bronco athletics opened with the $36 million Stueckle Sky Center which includes a stateof-the-art press box, suites, loge boxes and club seats. Plans are currently in the design phase for another major expansion to Bronco Stadium in the near future. On August 1, 2009 Boise State officially acquired control of the 15.5-acre East Junior High School site from the Boise School District with plans to build future athletic facilities there. Located just northeast of the main campus, the first project planned will be to move Ed Jacoby Track from Bronco Stadium and build a new track and field facility. The newest facility will break ground in the fall of 2010 when construction begins on a new men’s and women’s basketball locker room complex at Taco Bell Arena. Completion of the state-of-art facility is expected in the late spring of 2011. Recent additions the past four years include the Caven-Williams Sports Complex, a $9.5 million indoor practice facility that includes a full size football field and the Keith and Catherine Stein Band Hall, and the Mountain Cove Softball Field. Other capital projects completed during Bleymaier’s tenure include the Boas Tennis/ Soccer Center, a 1997 expansion of Bronco Stadium, the Allen Noble Hall of Fame Gallery, the Williams Plaza, the PetersonPreco Learning Center, the Appleton Outdoor Tennis Center, the Jackson Indoor Track, the Idaho Sports Medicine Institute, the Bronco Football Center, the gymnastics room expansion, the Simplot Center for Athletic Excellence, the Fedrizzi Fitness Center expansion, and an expansion of the Nicholson-Yanke Center. Bleymaier ser ved as an assistant athletic director at UCLA prior to coming to Boise State. A member of the California Bar Association and a graduate of the Loyola Law School, Bleymaier received his bachelor’s degree from UCLA. Bleymaier lettered in football and was named to the All-Pac 8 Conference third team as a tight end for the Bruins. He was the recipient of the UCLA Outstanding Senior Award and was active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Bleymaier graduated from Borah High School in Boise. Bleymaier and his wife, Danell, have four children – Maribeth, Joe, Claire and Tom.
Director of Athletics
Under Gene Bleymaier’s leadership, Boise State University’s Department of Athletics has scaled impressive and unprecedented heights with the accomplishments of its student-athletes, the successes of its teams, the growth of its facilities, the support of its community, and the advancement of its status among the nation’s premier athletic programs. Bleymaier is in his 30th year at Boise State. He joined the Athletic Department in 1981 and became the Broncos’ AD in February of 1982. He is the second longest tenured athletic director in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The 2009-10 Bronco athletic season was another banner year and led to Bleymaier being one of five nominees for the Street and Smith’s Sports Business Journal and Sports Business Daily Athletic Director of the Year. Bleymaier was the only nominee from a non-Bowl Championship Series conference school. In June 2008 Bleymaier received the Astro Turf Athletic Director of the Year Award. This past year Boise State captured four Western Athletic Conference Championships (football, soccer, women’s tennis and swimming & diving) and finished the 200910 season winning the WAC Commissioner’s Cup. Four teams completed their seasons ranked in the top 20 which led to a 60th place finish in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup. Boise State also excelled in the classroom this past year with six Bronco teams leading the WAC in the annual NCAA Academic Program Reports. The football team also posted the 4th highest APR score for schools competing in 2009 postseason bowl games. Bleymaier is currently the WAC ’s representative to the BCS. In 1997 Bleymaier led the effort to create the Humanitarian Bowl – now called the Udrove Humanitarian Bowl – and he continues to serve on the board of directors for the annual postseason football game. He served a four-year term
as the WAC representative on the NCAA Division I Management Council and is also past president and vice president of the NCAA I-AA Athletic Directors’ Association. He is also a member of the Boise-based World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame board of directors. Under Bleymaier’s guidance, Boise State’s football program has grown spectacularly and gained national attention since it joined the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A) ranks in 1996. Competing at the highest collegiate level, Boise State has put itself on the national map with as the winningest football program among FBS programs the past 10 years (2000-09). Boise State has the best overall record (112-17, .868%), the best winning percentage for conference games (73-4, .948%), the best home record (63-2 .969%), and has been the highest-scoring team in the nation since 2000 (41.40 points per game). The Bronco football team ended the season undefeated (14-0) with a victory over TCU in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and a No. 4 national ranking. In 1986 Bleymaier was responsible for the installation of the artificial blue turf in Bronco Stadium, which has become one of the most recognizable sports venues in America and the city of Boise’s most famous landmark. In 1996 he led Boise State’s move to FBS as a member of the Big West Conference, and in 2001 he guided the Bronco Athletic Department’s transfer to its current membership in the WAC. Boise State will move to its third FBS league in 2011-12 when the Broncos become members of the Mountain West Conference. Since joining the WAC in 2001, Boise State has won 27 conference championships, including seven in football. Prior to joining the WAC, Boise State won 15 team titles as a member of the Big West Conference and 33 overall league championships in the Big Sky Conference from 1982-1995, all under the guidance Bleymaier. Boise State sponsors 19 intercollegiate sports – eight for men and 11 for women. All teams compete in the WAC with the exception of wrestling (Pac-10). Behind Bleymaier’s guidance, Boise State student-athletes have also excelled in the classroom. During the 2009-10 academic year, 151 Bronco student-athletes received conference all-academic honors. Following the spring 2010 semester, Bronco studentathletes posted the sixth straight semester the overall athletic department’s gradepoint-average was 3.00 or higher. Fiftyeight (58) percent of all student-athletes earned a 3.0 or better GPA for the spring 2010 semester

2010 Boise State Football THE WESTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE.. In its 48th year, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and features some of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the nine schools in the WAC to advance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA. The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective institutions. The WAC has experienced tremendous success. Over the past six years, it has won 54.5 percent of its bowl games, the third best winning percentage of any conference in the nation. In the past six seasons, the WAC has sent a total of 22 teams to bowl games (12-10). Boise State has won 76 games since joining the conference, the most in the nation during that time span (2001-07). For the second year in a row, the WAC sent a team to a BCS bowl game as Hawai‘i earned a Nokia Sugar Bowl bid this past season following Boise State’s unforgettable victory in the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 23 of the past 25 seasons. Every current school in the WAC has competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. In women’s sports, Fresno State softball has competed in every NCAA Tournament ever held while Louisiana Tech basketball has played in all but two.
The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition. B e f o r e 1 9 9 0 , t h e WA C s p o n s o r e d championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name. Currently the WAC membership consists of Hawai’i which joined in 1979, Fresno State (1992), San Jose State (1996), Nevada (2000), Boise State and Louisiana Tech (2001), and Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State (2005). Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s and 11 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and volleyball. The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from 1964-66.

2010 Boise State Football KARL BENSON WAC COMMISSIONER ALMA MATER: BOISE STATE When Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner in the history of the Western Athletic Conference on April 20, 1994, he brought with him a wealth of experience and a personal history of success to the position. Since that time, Benson not only has laid a strong foundation for the WAC’s future, he also steered the conference through unsettled times during the late 1990s and again a few years later when the defection of member institutions threatened the WAC. Through his leadership and vision, it didn’t take long for the WAC to regain its place among the nation’s top Division I conferences. Benson has spearheaded conference expansion with the additions of Nevada, Boise State and Louisiana Tech earlier this decade and an additional round of expansion with New Mexico State, Utah State and Idaho joining the league a few years ago. Nationally, Benson has earned the respect of his peers after serving on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002, and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 200206. Benson hit the ground running when he was hired in 1994 and initiated several programs that improved the conference’s national position in virtually ever category. He was instrumental in developing multi-year agreements with the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl and currently, the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl and New Mexico Bowl. In 1995-96, the WAC signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with ESPN for the unprecedented live telecasts of basketball and football. Included in that deal was a women’s basketball contract, the
first in conference history. Currently, a second agreement with ESPN and ABC has resulted in 80 football games being televised over the past five years. Benson came to the WAC after four successful years as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl. Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships. Benson joined the NCAA staff in January of 1986 as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships. A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed coursework toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah. Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletic department at Utah. He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006. Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, 17.
