The Boise State Broncos football program represents Boise State University in college football and compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference. They are currently led by head coach Chris Petersen and play their home games at Bronco Stadium.
History [edit]
Originally a junior college, Boise State's football program moved up to four-year status in 1968 and competed as an NAIA independent for two seasons.[1][2] The Broncos were accepted into the NCAA in October 1969,[3] and a month later into the Big Sky Conference, effective the following July.[4] The Broncos began NCAA competition in 1970 in Division II ("College Division" prior to 1973) in a brand new Bronco Stadium.[5] In 1978, the Broncos and the Big Sky moved up to the new Division I-AA (renamed FCS in 2006) and BSU won its first national championship two years later. After 26 years in the Big Sky, the Broncos joined the Big West Conference in 1996 and moved up to Division I-A (now FBS).
In three seasons under head coach Dirk Koetter, the Broncos won two Big West championships and moved to the WAC in 2001, when Dan Hawkins took over and guided the Broncos to four WAC titles in five seasons before handing the reins over to Chris Petersen.[6] Under Petersen, Boise State has recorded two undefeated seasons, three undefeated regular seasons, and reached the Bowl Championship Series twice. The 2006 season was capped with a win over the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, while the 2009 team defeated Texas Christian in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl to finish the season 14–0. They were just the second team ever to go 14–0 in the history of major college football. The 2010 team achieved their highest preseason ranking in history as the Associated Press ranked the Broncos as the 3rd best team in the country.[7] That same offseason, Boise State accepted an invitation to join the Mountain West Conference starting in 2011.[8] Later in the 2010 season, Boise State achieved the highest rankings in its history, being voted in at #2 in both the AP Poll and the Coaches' Poll, as well as earning the #3 slot in the first BCS ranking.[9]
Shortly after the 2010 season, the NCAA found Boise State guilty of a large number of athletic violations. The NCAA found Boise State guilty of "lack of institutional control," the highest category of malfeasance under the NCAA violation system at the time. The Boise State football program was given three years probation, lost three scholarships a year, and had its number of Fall practices reduced.[10]
Between 2008 and 2011, the Broncos went 50–3 to become the first FBS team to win 50 games over a four year span. With the 50–3 record, quarterback Kellen Moore became the winningest quarterback in FBS history, passing former Texas quartback Colt McCoy (45 wins).
On December 7, 2011, it was announced that the Broncos would join the Big East Conference as football only members as of July 1, 2013 and would be sharing a division with Memphis, SMU, Houston, San Diego State, and Temple. However, on December 31, 2012, Boise State announced they had decided to stay in the Mountain West conference, leaving the Big East, much like TCU, without ever playing a game in it.
Bronco Stadium [edit]
Since 1970, Boise State has played its home games in Bronco Stadium, which enjoys a reputation as one of the most difficult places in the country for opposing teams to play. The stadium is well known for its blue artificial surface, which was first installed in 1986. "The Blue," as it is called by fans, is the only non-green playing surface in the Football Bowl Subdivision and is one of the most distinguishing and enduring symbols of Boise State football. Boise State is one of four college football programs in the United States to have a non-green playing surface. (Eastern Washington University in the FCS has a red surface, the University of Central Arkansas, also an FCS program, has a grey and purple striped surface and the University of New Haven in Division II has a blue surface). As of November 17, 2012, the Broncos are 87–4 at home since the 1999 season with the only losses being to Washington State in 2001, AP #18 Boston College in the 2005 MPC Computers Bowl, to #24 TCU in 2011, and to San Diego State in 2012. They never lost a home conference game during their 10 years as a member of the WAC (40–0). The Broncos are 84–3 in regular season home games since 1999 and were on a 65 game regular season home winning streak until losing to TCU. Prior to the loss to TCU, Boise State had not lost a home conference game since the season finale in 1998 (47 in a row).
Blue Uniform Ban [edit]
In 2011, citing a "competitive advantage," the Mountain West Conference banned Boise State from wearing their all-blue uniforms for home conference games as a condition of joining the conference.[11] When questioned about the ban, Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson confirmed that either the jerseys or pants could be blue, provided that the other be white or orange.[12] After Boise State decided to not join the Big East Conference and remain in the Mountain West the uniform restrictions were lifted beginning in the 2013 season. The NCAA considered a rule that would have required a team's uniform, either jersey or pants, to contrast the playing surface. The rule would have banned Boise State's all blue uniforms at home and teams from wearing all green uniforms as well. However, this rule was rejected.

BSU has developed a rivalry with BYU. While they've never shared a conference and have only met three times, the geographical proximity, cultural overlap, competitive games, and scheduled future match ups has turned this game into an instant rivalry. Prior to the 2012 contest, Boise State sophomore safety Lee Hightower disclosed that he's looking "forward to (the game) each year" and to the "start up (of) a little rivalry" with BYU.[13] The two teams still have 11 games remaining in a 12 game series that extends until the year 2023.[14] Boise State leads the series 3–0 with a 50–12 win in Provo in 2003, a 28–27 win in Boise in 2004, and a 7–6 win in Boise in 2012. The next game is currently scheduled for September 21, 2013 in Provo Utah.[14] In the ever changing landscape of college athletics, there is a chance that BYU could rejoin the Mountain West making the matchup a conference game.

BSU has had a rivalry with Fresno State University since joining the WAC. The series is 11–4 all time in favor of Boise State. In 2001, the series became a WAC match-up, christened with Boise State's upset over #8 Fresno State 35–30. In 2005, the series became the Battle for the Milk Can, and #20 Fresno State ended Boise State's 31-game winning streak against WAC opponents with their 27–7 victory. The series will continue to be a conference game in 2012 in the MWC but was played as a non-conference game in Fresno in 2011. The winner of the game receives the Milk Can.
Hawaiʻi [edit]
| Games Played | BSU Win | BSU Loss | Win % | First Meeting | Last Meeting | Next Scheduled Meeting |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 10 | 3 | .769 | 1996 | W 49–14 (2012) | 2015 |
The series is 10–3 all time in favor of Boise State. The series became heated in 2006 and 2007 when Hawaii fielded a nationally ranked team. Their 39–27 victory over Boise State in 2007 was only Boise State's fourth loss in their 10-year tenure in the WAC. Hawaii ended the Broncos' five-year WAC championship streak in 2007 and was one of three teams to share the WAC title, along with Boise State in 2010. Hawaiʻi and Boise State became conference foes again for the 2012 season.
Idaho [edit]
| Games Played | BSU Win | BSU Loss | Ties | Win % | First Meeting | Last Meeting | Next Scheduled Meeting | Trophy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 | 22 | 17 | 1 | .563 | 1971 | W 52–14 (2010) | Governor's Trophy |
BSU had a 40-year in-state rivalry with the University of Idaho, which began with a Bronco victory in the first meeting in 1971. They met every year through 2010, and with the exception of four years (2001–2004), the matchup was a conference game. The rivalry was dominated by streaks as Idaho won 12 straight years from 1982–1993, while Boise State won the most recent 12 games between 1999–2010, mostly by large margins. BSU leads the rivalry with a series record of 22–17–1 (.563).
After Boise State's move to the Mountain West Conference in 2011, Boise State has refused to play Idaho home and home in football. As a response, Idaho has refused to play Boise State at Taco Bell Arena for men's basketball. As of 2012, no future games are currently scheduled.

@ BSU 2013 |
BSU has a long standing rivalry with Nevada. Boise State leads the series 26–13. Boise State and Nevada have been conference rivals in the Big Sky Conference, the Big West Conference, the WAC, and will continue to be in the Mountain West in 2012. The series was played as a non-conference game in 2011 as the teams met in Boise during Nevada's last year in the WAC. Nevada split the WAC championship with Boise State in 2005 as both teams finished 7–1 in conference play. Boise State beat Nevada on the last game of the season in 2006, giving Boise State a birth into their first BCS bowl. In 2007, in one of the highest scoring games in NCAA Division I football history, Boise State defeated Nevada 69–67 in four overtimes. Recently, the conference championship has been decided by the Wolf Pack and Broncos' late-season games. In 2010, Nevada defeated #3 Boise State 34–31 in overtime, ending the Broncos BCS National Championship hopes. The rivalry between the two schools felt as if it had been rekindled after Nevada's win, since Boise State had won the past 10 games dating back to 1998. Boise State and Nevada have played one time in the postseason in the 1990 I-AA semifinal. Nevada won the game in triple overtime 59–52, and would go on to lose in the final.
TCU [edit]

BSU had a brewing rivalry with Texas Christian University, but the teams have only ever met four times and there are not any future games scheduled, with TCU having joined the Big 12 Conference.[15][16] This intersectional rivalry had its foundation in frustration as Boise and TCU took turns upending the season's of some of each other's greatest teams. The underdog won the final three meetings. The first game was in the inaugural Fort Worth Bowl (now the Armed Forces Bowl) in 2003. #17 Boise State narrowly defeated #18 TCU 34–31. The second meeting was in the 2008 Poinsettia Bowl where #11 TCU came back to beat previously undefeated #9 Boise State 17–16. The third meeting was in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl where undefeated #6 Boise State beat undefeated #4 TCU 17–10. In 2011, #24 TCU won the only regular season meeting defeating #5 Boise State 36–35 at Bronco Stadium, snapping the Broncos 65 game regular season home winning streak and 47 game conference home winning streak. The controversy around the scheduling of this game added further intensity to the rivalry. The game was originally scheduled to be played at TCU's home stadium until the MWC moved the game to Boise Idaho because TCU was leaving the MWC for the Big 12.[17] The rivalry did not end with the last scheduled game between these two opponents. Further controversy erupted when Boise Coach Chris Petersen voted "Boise State's interests" by voting TCU much lower on his ballot than the average final 2011 Coaches Poll voter in an alleged attempt to exploit BCS rules and secure Boise a BCS Bowl over MWC Champion TCU, who had beaten Boise State earlier in the season.[18] There are not any games scheduled between these two teams in the future.[14]
