Huff is in his second stint as tight ends coach, as he spent his first season on Coach Petersen’s staff working with the position group before spending three seasons working as offensive line coach. Huff, a 2002 graduate of Boise State, previously worked as a graduate assistant at Arizona State under former Bronco head coach Dirk Koetter. Huff ’s tight ends have helped contribute to an offensive attack that ranked second-nationally in total offense in 2010 (521.31) and ninth-nationally in 2011 (481.31). The team also boasted top-five rankings in scoring offense each of the last two years, finishing second in 2010 (45.08) and fifth in 2011 (44.23).
In 2008 Huff coached an offensive line that was instrumental in Boise State’s perfect 12-0 regular season. The Bronco offensive line also played a key role in helping develop Moore - who was then only a freshman - allowing the fewest quarterback sacks (13) in the Western Athletic Conference. Huff ’s offensive line also led the way for a Boise State offense that averaged 288.5 passing yards and 152.3 rushing yards per game in 2008.
Boise State led the nation last season in sacks allowed (0.62 per game), and ranked third-nationally in 2010 (0.62 per game). The team also finished 2011 ranked fourth in the nation in passing efficiency (171.57) after finishing second-nationally in 2010 (179.74). The Broncos followed the nation’s sixth-ranked passing offense in 2010 (321.08) with a No. 11 ranking in 2011 (309.38), and ranked 21st-nationally in rushing two seasons ago.
In his first season as a full-time coach, Huff ’s tight ends were instrumental in Boise State’s 13-0 season and its 43-42 overtime victory over Oklahoma in the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Tight end Derek Schouman earned first-team All-Western Athletic Conference honors in 2006 and was also a seventh-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in the 2007 National Football League Draft. As a group in 2006, Boise State’s tight ends combined to catch 36 passes for 401 yards and five touchdowns as the Broncos finished second in the country in scoring and 10th in total offense.
In 2011 Kyle Efaw was named honorable mention All-Mountain West after finishing the season with 31 receptions for 264 yards and seven touchdowns. Efaw, who signed a free agent contract with the Oakland Raiders following the season, and the rest of the tight end group combined for 61 catches for 577 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. While working with the offensive line from 2007-09, Huff oversaw a group that helped contribute to one of the most successful runs in school history. In his three seasons leading the offensive line, Boise State averaged just 12.3 sacks allowed each year.
As a player, Huff started 40 games at center during his four-year career. During that time he earned first-team All-WAC honors as a senior, anchoring an offensive line that helped Boise State lead the nation in scoring and total yards. During his career Boise State won three conference championships - one in the WAC and two in the Big West Conference. In 2005 he was named to the Bronco Stadium 35th Anniversary Team as the team’s center.
In 2009 Huff helped coach a Bronco offensive line that played a vital role in Boise State’s perfect 14-0 season, which culminated in a victory at the 2010 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The Boise State offense finished the year ranked first-nationally in scoring offense (42.21 points per game), behind an offensive line that allowed the fewest quarterback sacks (five) of any team in the country.
Huff, a team captain his senior year, was also named first-team AllWAC by Sporting News following his junior season and was on both the Rimington and Lombardi Award Watch Lists as a senior.
Huff ’s offensive line also provided protection for sophomore quarterback Kellen Moore, who went on to have one of the top seasons of any quarterback in school history. Behind the Bronco offensive line, Moore threw for a then school record 39 touchdown passes, while tossing just three interceptions. Huff ’s group also blocked for second-team All-WAC running back Jeremy Avery, who finished 2009 with the seventh-most single-season rushing yards in school history (1,151).
Huff, a native of Phoenix, earned a business administration degree from Boise State before receiving his master’s degree in secondary education-curriculum and instruction from Arizona State. He and his wife Shannon were married in June of 2012.
