The Boise State Broncos football program represents Boise State University in the Western Athletic Conference. In June 2010, it was announced that the Broncos will join the Mountain West Conference for the 2011 season. The program is best known for its 2006 season, in which it posted a 13–0 WAC Championship season capped by an overtime win in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl against the Oklahoma Sooners. The 2009 season, capped off with a win over the previously unbeaten TCU Horned Frogs in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl, saw the Broncos become the second team in major-college history to finish a season at 14–0. It is also well known for the blue turf of Bronco Stadium, first installed in 1986, which some have nicknamed "The Smurf Turf".
