Boise State vs. UT Martin
SEATTLE (AP) – Keith Price threw a pair of thirdquarter touchdown passes to become Washington’s all-time leader, while the team returned to renovated Husky Stadium with a stunning 38-6 win over No. 19 Boise State on Saturday. Price completed 23 of 31 passes for 324 yards. He found Kasen Williams on a 19-yard TD on Washington’s first possession of the second half and his 18-yard strike to Josh Perkins gave Washington a 24-6 lead late in the third quarter. It was Price’s 56th career touchdown, passing Cody Pickett as Washington’s all-time leader. The Broncos fell to 26-4 under Petersen when given at least 10 days of preparation and was the first time since a 58-0 loss against Washington State in 1997 the Broncos failed to score a touchdown. Bishop Sankey rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns. Sankey scored on a 1-yard plunge in the first quarter then added a 23-yard TD scamper with 10:45 left to give Washington a 31-6 lead. Dwayne Washington capped the victory with an 8-yard TD run with 5:56 left.

The Broncos also got help from special teams, which blocked two field goals and forced a fumble on a punt return, and a defense that rebounded after getting torched a week ago. The offense for Boise State (3-2, 1-1 MW) started slowly, but Southwick, with the help of some big runs by Aaron Baltazar and Jay Ajayi, got things rolling, putting up points on nine of their next 10 possessions.

LOGAN, Utah (AP) – Joe Southwick passed for a career high 335 yards and two touchdowns on 30-of-44 passing as Boise State topped Utah State 34-23 Saturday night. Shane Williams-Rhodes caught 13 of Southwick’s passes for 150 yards and a touchdown while running back Jay Ajayi added 109 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. The Broncos (4-2, 2-1 Mountain West) gained 26 first downs to USU’s 16 in the game and gained 447 yards of total offense. Junior Craig Harrison made his first start at quarterback for Utah State (3-4, 2-1 Mountain West) after Chuckie Keeton, three-year starter for the Aggies, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first quarter of a loss to BYU last week.

Boise State @ BYU
BOISE, Idaho (AP) – Boise State running back Jay Ajayi ran for a career-high 222 yards on 24 carries with three touchdowns to lead the Broncos to a 34-17 win over Nevada. Backup quarterback Grant Hedrick threw for 150 yards and ran for 115 more. Hedrick, a junior who had only attempted 36 passes in his career, took over when starting quarterback Joe Southwick injured his right foot on the Broncos’ first offensive play from scrimmage. He finished 18of-21 passing. He is also the first Bronco quarterback to rush for over 100 yards since Jared Zabranski rushed for 123 against Hawaii in 2004. Boise State (5-2, 3-1 Mountain West) won its eighth straight game at home against Nevada. Nevada (3-4, 2-2), which led at halftime against Boise State for the first time since 1997, lost its fifth straight on the road dating back to last season.

PROVO, Utah (AP) – Taysom Hill threw for 339 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 69 yards and another score to help BYU beat Boise State 37-20. Hill completed 29 of 41 passes to lead the Cougars (6-2) to their fifth straight victory - and their first in the four-game series with Boise State (53). Jamaal Williams ran for 107 yards. Grant Hedrick threw for 232 yards and a touchdown in his first start for the Broncos and Jay Ajayi ran for 151 yards. Boise State was unable to overcome four turnovers - three straight in the second half - and failed to give Chris Petersen a victory in his 100th game as head coach. BYU ended Boise State’s 50-game October winning streak that dated to a 45-14 loss to Rice in 2001.

Boise State vs. New Mexico
SAN DIEGO (AP) – Quarterback Quinn Kaehler threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Colin Lockett just inside the right pylon as San Diego State beat Boise State, 34-31, in overtime, Saturday night. It was the Aztecs fourth overtime game this season, the most in the FBS and tied for most in FBS history. Boise State’s Dan Goodale, who missed a 43-yard field goal as time expired in regulation, booted a 35-yard field goal giving Boise State a 31-28 lead on the first set of downs in the overtime. San Diego State became the first team to beat Boise State in consecutive seasons since Washington State did it in 2000 and 2001.

Matt Miller added nine catches for 111 yards and three touchdowns for Boise State (8-4, 6-2 Mountain West), which will play in a bowl game for the 12th consecutive year. Tailback Crusoe Gongbay had 77 yards rushing and a touchdown in the season finale for New Mexico (3-9, 1-7). Senior quarterback Joe Southwick jump-started a dominant effort by the Broncos in his first action since breaking his right ankle Oct. 19.

TEAM
HONOLULU – Rashaad Reynolds returned two fumbles for touchdowns, helping Oregon State beat Boise State 38-23 in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve. The Beavers (7-6) stopped a five-game slide and set several records in handing Boise State its worst loss in two months. Biletnikoff Award-winner Brandin Cooks had 60 yards receiving and a touchdown while setting a Pac-12 record for most receiving yards in a season, passing USC’s Marqise Lee. Sean Mannion set another for passing yards, finishing 24 of 33 for 259 yards and a touchdown. Oregon State kept Boise State out of the end zone until the third quarter, well after the Beavers had opened a big lead. Matt Miller led Boise State with 11 catches for 206 yards and a touchdown, with most of the production coming after the game was decided. Miller set a school season record with 88 catches, and was the Broncos’ MVP for the game. Boise State’s most successful drive came in the third quarter after Oregon State went 94 yards and scored a touchdown to make it 38-6. The Broncos responded with a nine-play, 76yard drive spent partially in a hurry-up offense. Jay Ajayi took a shotgun handoff from Hedrick and ran up the middle for a 1-yard TD. Oregon State finished with 454 total yards, averaging 6.8 per play. Hedrick threw for 382 yards and a touchdown, closing out a difficult stretch for the Broncos (8-5).

Ties are listed in order of occurrence, beginning with most recent performance. (Ties separated by numerical rankings are decided by fractions.) Season and career statistics include regular season totals only (except in 100+ yard game categories, as noted). Starting with the 2002 season, NCAA postseason bowl games are also included in season and career statistics due to an NCAA rule change. Bold indicates record held by current Bronco players.

Broncos Rally to Win Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl Boise State 34, Louisville 31 Dec. 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.

Broncos Win Second Straight Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl Boise State 38, UTEP 23 Dec. 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 22yard 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.

Broncos Complete Incredible Season with Victory Over Iowa State in Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl Boise State 34, Iowa State 16 Dec. 31, 2002 – Bronco Stadium – Boise, Idaho It wasn’t the start the 15th ranked Broncos were used to, but the end was very familiar. Boise State, the nation’s top scoring offense, scored just 7 first-half points but found its form in the second half and picked up a 34-16 win over Iowa State in the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl. 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 ISU BSU ISU BSU BSU BSU ISU BSU

Broncos Cap Second Straight Nationally Ranked Season with Victory in the Inaugural PlainsCapital Fort Worth Bowl Boise State 34, TCU 31 Dec. 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. Scoring Summary TCU Boise State TCU BSU

Broncos Perfect Season Falls One Game Short in 44-40 Loss to Louisville in AutoZone Liberty Bowl Louisville 44, Boise State 40 Dec. 31, 2004 – Liberty Bowl – Memphis, Tenn. Louisville snapped Boise State’s 22-game winning streak, which was the nation’s longest, in the highestscoring 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.

Second Half Rally Comes up Short in MPC Computers Bowl Loss to Boston College Boston College 27, Boise State 21 Dec. 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 fourthand-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

Boise State Shocks the Football World with Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Victory over Oklahoma Boise State 43, Oklahoma 42 (OT) Jan. 1, 2007 – University of Phoenix Stadium – Glendale, Ariz. 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. Scoring Summary 1st Boise State 14 Oklahoma 7 BSU

Last Second Field Goal Hands Broncos Defeat at Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl East Carolina 41, Boise State 38 Dec. 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. Scoring Summary 1st Boise State 7 East Carolina 10 ECU BSU

Broncos come up short in one point loss to TCU at San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl TCU 17, Boise State 16 Dec. 23, 2008 – Qualcomm Stadium – San Diego, Calif. 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.

Broncos Capture Second Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Title in Four Years with Victory over TCU Boise State 17, TCU 10 Jan. 4, 2010 – University of Phoenix Stadium – Glendale, Ariz. 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.

Broncos Dominate Utah in MAACO Bowl Las Vegas Victory Boise State 26, Utah 3 Dec. 22, 2010 – Sam Boyd Stadium – Las Vegas, Nev. LAS VEGAS (AP) - Doug Martin shook Boise State out of its brief postseason funk with an 84-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, and the 10th-ranked Broncos dominated the rest of the way beat No. 20 Utah 26-3 in the MAACO Bowl. Boise State had turned the ball over three times and was trailing 3-0 when Martin went up the middle and outran Utah defenders down the left side to give the Broncos a much-needed spark. From there, Boise State’s defense shut the Utes out and Kellen Moore threw two touchdown passes as the Broncos cruised to an easy win. ``It was a startup for our team,’’ Martin said. ``A momentum changer.’’ The victory was small consolation for Boise State, which missed out on a possible Rose Bowl appearance. But the dominating win against a team that was at one time ranked No. 6 in the country was a reminder why the Broncos rode high in the polls before suffering their only loss in two years. ``Boise State is a heck of a football team,’’ Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. ``When you play a team the caliber of Boise State you have to play better than we did tonight.’’ Martin’s run came after a mistake-prone first quarter in which Boise State kept giving the ball away and making costly errors. Utah wasn’t much better, and when the Broncos began finding their stride the game quickly turned one-sided. Moore, who fumbled on the third play of the game and threw an interception later in the first quarter, rebounded with a 25-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Shoemaker in the closing seconds of the first half to give Boise State a 16-3 lead. He added another 18-yard TD pass to Austin Pettis in the third quarter in a game that was more lopsided than the final score. Boise State (12-1), which had been ranked as high as No. 2 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll this year and once seemed headed for a New Year’s Day bowl, came into the game a 17-point favorite but early on looked little like the team that was everyone’s favorite BCS buster. That changed with Martin’s run, with the Broncos taking control on both sides of the ball against a team that was a BCS team itself two years ago and had won nine straight bowl games. Moore, who finished fourth in Heisman voting earlier, finished with impressive numbers despite his rocky start. He completed 28 of 38 passes, including 12 to Pettis, who was playing the final game of a college career in which his team won 51 of 53 games. Boise State was plenty impressive against Utah, shutting down quarterback Terrance Cain and the Utes running game. Utah didn’t help itself by losing three fumbles and being penalized 10 times for 83 yards in a sloppily played game. Boise State kicker Kyle Brotzman became the all-time NCAA leader in points kicking with a 29-yard field goal in the second quarter. Brotzman added another field goal in the fourth quarter but had a mixed night, getting one attempt blocked and dropping a pass while wide open on a fake punt.

Broncos Ride Big Plays to Big Win over Arizona State in MAACO Bowl Las Vegas Boise State 56, Arizona State 24 Dec. 22, 2011 – Sam Boyd Stadium – Las Vegas, Nev. LAS VEGAS - Sixth-ranked Boise State scored touchdowns in five different ways as part of a 56-24 blowout win over Arizona State in the 20th MAACO Bowl Las Vegas The Broncos, the highest-ranked team in the event’s history at No. 6 by the coaches, were perhaps one made field goal away from playing for a BCS title but instead got to be part of a party in Las Vegas before the 35,720 fans at Sam Boyd Stadium. In what was the final game of one of college football’s most successful, Kellen Moore became the first quarterback in NCAA FBS history to reach 50 career victories as a starter as Boise State cruised to its first win over Arizona State to close the season at 12-1 overall for the second consecutive year. The Broncos started out with a bang thanks to Doug Martin’s 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on the opening play. It marked the longest return in MBLV history and was the first time any bowl game started with a return for a score since Ohio State did it in the 2007 BCS Championship against Florida. Martin was not nearly done with is heroics, however, as he went on to earn the Rossi T. Ralenkotter MVP Trophy after rolling up a staggering 301 all-purpose yards and two TDs. That total included 151 yards rushing on 31 carries and 26 more through the air on three receptions. Boise State jumped out to a 21-0 lead with a 14-yard TD catch by Tyler Shoemaker and then a two-yard TD grab by Matt Miller - both coming from the arm of Moore. Miller brought in another one just before halftime to make it 28-3 at the break. The Sun Devils showed life, however, coming out of the locker room as Rashad Ross took the third-quarter kickoff back for his own highlight play - a 98-yard touchdown. Later in the game, ASU was heading in from the one-yard line looking to close the gap even more but Brock Osweiler’s pass was intercepted by Bronco Jamar Taylor, who returned it 100 yards the other way for a stunning touchdown that sealed the outcome. When Travis Stanaway scooped up an ASU fumble and took it 26 yards for six points in the fourth quarter, it meant Boise State had scored via pass, rush, return, interception and fumble. ‘’There were two things we really wanted to do,’’ said Boise State head coach Chris Petersen. ‘’We wanted to start fast, and we really did that. And we wanted to finish strong, and we really did that.’’ Moore’s final collegiate outing saw him complete 24 of 36 attempts for 293 yards a pair of scores. ‘’Vegas is kind of a popular spot for me apparently,’’ said Moore, who won three of his 50 at Sam Boyd Stadium in a 12-month span. ‘’You couldn’t ask for a better situation. We were very fortunate to come to this bowl game the last two years. It’s a neat experience, you enjoy yourself and there’s just a lot of great memories here.’’ While there was not much defense on display, Boise State did get to Osweiler for four sacks, two by Las Vegas High School graduate Billy Winn, who got to play his final college game in his hometown. Boise State improved to 2-0 in the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas to help the Mountain West up its record to 5-4 vs. the Pac-12 in the annual event.

Broncos Top Huskies 28-26 in MAACO Bowl Las Vegas Boise State 28, Washington 26 Dec. 23, 2012 – Sam Boyd Stadium – Las Vegas, Nev. LAS VEGAS - Michael Frisina came up big for Boise State, kicking a 27-yard field goal with 1:16 left to give the No. 20 Broncos a 28-26 victory Saturday over Washington for their third MAACO Bowl Las Vegas trophy in a row. Frisina made the winning kick after Washington had taken the lead for the first time on Travis Coons’ 38-yard field goal. Boise State (11-2) sealed the win when Jeremy Ioane intercepted Keith Price’s pass as the Huskies (7-6) neared midfield. Boise State had to overcome a 205-yard rushing game by Bishop Sankey against a normally stingy Bronco defense. Sankey also had 74 yards receiving, giving him 279 of Washington’s 447 yards from scrimmage. He was the MVP of the game, despite being on the losing side. Frisina was 12 for 17 on field goals coming into the game, adding three on Saturday, including a 34-yarder to open the scoring that was his first field goal over 30 yards for the year. Boise State, which outscored Utah and Arizona State 82-24 in its two previous Las Vegas Bowl wins, looked to be heading for a third straight blowout when Holden Huff scored on a 34-yard pass with 5:25 left in the second quarter for an 18-3 lead. But Sankey scored on a 26-yard run on Washington’s next possession, and Price scrambled for another score with 3 seconds left to make it 18-17 at halftime. After both teams scored touchdowns on long drives in the third quarter, the Huskies took their only lead of the game on the field goal by Coons with 4:09 left. On the ensuing kickoff, though, freshman Shane Williams-Rhodes returned the ball 47 yards to the Washington 42, and Joe Southwick guided them to the 12 before Frisina hit the winning kick. The teams traded long drives in the third quarter, with Boise State going 74 yards in 15 plays to open the second half, and Washington responding with a 75 yard, 12 play drive. The Huskies went for a 2-point conversion that would have tied it, but the pass was incomplete. “We watched a lot of tape and we knew they were a good team,’’ Boise State Head Coach Chris Petersen said. ‘’I don’t think all 7-5 records are equal across the board. These guys have beaten too many good opponents and played too much good football that you start to get a gauge and I just knew it would be a really tight game.” Southwick ended the day with 264 yards passing, while D.J. Harper added 72 on the ground. Matt Miller added 90 yards receiving in the Bronco win Scoring Summary 1st Washington 3 Boise State 9 Scoring Summary BSU 1st, 10:26 UW 1st, 4:47 BSU 1st, 0:15 BSU BSU

Broncos Fall to Oregon State in Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl Oregon State 38, Boise State 23 Dec. 24, 2013 – Aloha Stadium – Honolulu HONOLULU - Rashaad Reynolds returned two fumbles for touchdowns, helping Oregon State beat Boise State 38-23 in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve. The Beavers (7-6) stopped a five-game slide and set several records in handing Boise State its worst loss in two months. Biletnikoff Award-winner Brandin Cooks had 60 yards receiving and a touchdown while setting a Pac-12 record for most receiving yards in a season, passing USC’s Marqise Lee. Sean Mannion set another for passing yards, finishing 24 of 33 for 259 yards and a touchdown. Oregon State kept Boise State out of the end zone until the third quarter, well after the Beavers had opened a big lead. Reynolds had his first fumble recovery about 12 minutes into the game when Scott Crichton stripped Boise State quarterback Grant Hedrick in the end zone. The ball popped forward to the 3-yard line, where Reynolds picked it up and ran it in. Reynolds tacked on another fumble return in the second quarter on his way to game MVP honors. Troy Ware caught a 6-yard pass near the sideline for Boise State, but Larry Scott punched the ball out as Ware was falling to the ground. Reynolds picked it up and ran 70 yards to the end zone. Matt Miller led Boise State with 11 catches for 206 yards and a touchdown, with most of the production coming after the game was decided. Miller set a school season record with 88 catches, and was the Broncos’ MVP for the game. Boise State’s most successful drive came in the third quarter after Oregon State went 94 yards and scored a touchdown to make it 38-6. The Broncos responded with a nine-play, 76-yard drive spent partially in a hurry-up offense. Jay Ajayi took a shotgun handoff from Hedrick and ran up the middle for a 1-yard TD. Oregon State finished with 454 total yards, averaging 6.8 per play. Hedrick threw for 382 yards and a touchdown, closing out a difficult stretch for the Broncos (8-5). Both teams started the game with similar drives, making progress on big plays before stalling in the red zone and kicking field goals. But Oregon State grabbed the lead for good on Cooks’ 2-yard TD reception with 4:15 left in the first quarter, capping a 92-yard drive.

1971 Broncos: 10-2 Overall; 4-2 Big Sky; Camellia Bowl Champions Head Coach: Tony Knap
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 1980 Broncos: 10-3 Overall; 6-1 Big supplying enough offense for the win. But it was the Bronco defense that Sky; Big Sky Conference stole the show, limiting Grambling to just 41 passing yards and preserving Champions; NCAA Division I-AA the victory with a big defensive stand just yards from the goal line on National Champions Grambling’s final possession. The Broncos did not let a ticket to the national championship Head Coach: Jim Criner game slip away, downing Eastern Kentucky in arguably one of the greatest football game in Boise State history. After falling behind 29-24 with less than a minute to play, Aliotti led the Broncos on a game-winning drive that took just 43 seconds off the game clock, but will be remembered forever by those close to the Bronco program. The final scoring play came on fourth-and-10 with 20 seconds to play, as Aliotti scrambled far 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.

// Championship Teams // 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 six-game 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 playoffs supplied Boise with plenty of heart-stopping moments. Cornerback DaWuan Miller’s fourth-quarter interception capped an amazing come-from-behind win over North 1994 Broncos: 13-2 Overall; 6-1 Big Sky; Texas in the first round. Two Tony Hilde touchdown passes to Ryan Ikebe were just enough for the Broncos to survive Appalachian State Big Sky Conference Champions; in the quarterfinals. That set up a semifinal showdown with powerful NCAA Division I-AA National Marshall, and another comeback which included 21 unanswered points Runner-up and a late defensive stand that sealed a 28-24 Boise State victory. Some say the Broncos used up their remaining magic in Head Coach: Pokey Allen 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.
Uncharted 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 mid-season turnaround started with back-to-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 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl. In what proved to be one of the most exciting bowl games of the 1999 season, the H-Bowl featured 10 lead changes and 65 total points. Three lead changes highlighted the fourth quarter alone, as the Broncos struck last and then hung on in the closing minutes for the 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 season-opening 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.

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.

With apologies to the 1980 season and the three-year run from 20022004 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 game-winning 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 first- or 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 quarterback and the support of an inexperienced offensive line. Skeptics were quickly turned to believers once again, however, as the Broncos rolled to a perfect 12-0 regular season record, 8-0 in the WAC, en route to their sixth conference championship in seven seasons. Along the way Boise State made history, first with Kellen Moore who became the only freshman quarterback in school history to start a season opener. Just weeks later the Broncos earned their first ever road win against a Pac-10/BCS conference 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.

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.

Boise State football added another chapter to its storied history in 2010. Armed with the highest preseason ranking in program history, 21 starters returned from an undefeated 2009 season and 2010 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl title with their sights set on greatness. A third-consecutive Western Athletic Conference Championship and a 26-3 victory over No. 19 Utah in MAACO Bowl Las Vegas capped a magical season in which the Broncos achieved a level of success reached by few of their predecessors, collectively and individually. The Broncos dominated on both sides of the ball, finishing secondnationally in both total offense (521.31) and total defense (254.69), the only team in the country to rank in the top five in each statistical category. Offensively, Boise State also finished second-nationally in scoring offense (45.08) and pass efficiency (179.94), third-nationally in sacks allowed (0.62) and sixth-nationally in passing offense (321.08). Defensively, the Broncos also finished second-nationally in scoring defense (12.77), led the nation in sacks (3.69), ranked second in the country in both tackles-for-loss (8.38) and pass efficiency defense (95.19), fourth-nationally in pass defense (150.92) and seventh-nationally in rushing defense (103.77). Redshirt junior quarterback Kellen Moore became the first Boise State player to be invited to the Heisman Trophy ceremony. The first Heisman finalist in school history finished fourth after leading the nation in passing efficiency (182.63). Moore was also a finalist for the Maxwell and Davey O’Brien Awards, earned All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America, was named WAC Co-Offensive Player of the Year. Moore ascended to the top of the Boise State record books in nearly every career passing statistic. At the end of year he held the No. 1 spot in career total offense, passing yards, passing touchdowns, pass completions and passing attempts. Moore’s prolific passing numbers have been aided by a host of quality receivers. Seniors Austin Pettis and Titus Young etched their names in Boise State history throughout the season as well. Pettis spent the season extending his school record for receiving touchdowns, while also reaching the top of the all-time list in receptions. Young flew past defenses for his second-consecutive 1,000yard receiving season, to make him the career leader in receiving yards. Moore, Pettis and Young were each repeat All-WAC First Team selections, as well as junior left tackle Nate Potter. Redshirt junior center Thomas Byrd also earned a nod to the first team. Redshirt junior running back Doug Martin muscled his way to more than 1,000 yards on the ground during the regular season, becoming the 16th Bronco rusher to reach the milestone. Martin also garnered a spot on the All-WAC First Team, finishing with 1,260 yards, the sixth-highest total in school history. With once season left on his already stellar career, Martin had already cracked the career rushing top 10. The Boise State defense was once again led by Ryan Winterswyk at defensive end. Winterswyk, a redshirt senior, was named first-team All-WAC for the third-consecutive season. Also named to the conference’s top team from the Boise State defensive line was junior defensive end Shea McClellin. The Broncos’ dominant defensive backfield was well-represented on the all-conference team, as safeties George Iloka (junior), Jeron Johnson (redshirt senior) and and nickel Winston Venable (senior), all garnered their first All-WAC First Team honors. Junior linebacker Byron Hout, redshirt senior cornerback Brandyn Thompson and redshirt junior defensive end Billy Winn each earned second-team All-WAC consideration. The Broncos to a 12-1 record and claimed Boise State’s eighth WAC title in 10 seasons in the league. Boise State closed its 10-year membership in the WAC with a 75-5 overall record, including a 40-0 mark at home.

In 2011, its first year as a member of the Mountain West, Boise State came to its new home with all the expectations of past greatness in tow. The Broncos donned a No.5 ranking in the AP preseason poll and were picked as the favorite to win the conference title. For the third-consecutive season the Broncos challenged themselves in the first game of the season by facing a ranked opponent. Boise State traveled to the Georgia Dome for its season opener to face No. 19 Georgia, a team that would go on to be crowned SEC West Champions. The Broncos left Atlanta with an impressive 35-21 win and the program’s first victory against an SEC team, setting the stage for yet another year destined for the history books. Though a conference championship slipped through the team’s fingertips in its lone loss of the season Nov. 12 against TCU (36-35), the season was far from lost. Quarterback Kellen Moore and the rest of the Bronco senior class capped their astonishing careers with a 56-24 thrashing of Arizona State for Boise State’s second-consecutive MAACO Bowl Las Vegas Championship and third-straight bowl win. The win over the Sun Devils gave the seniors a school-record 50 wins in their careers. Moore, who quarterbacked the Broncos to a 50-3 record during the stretch, set an NCAA record for career wins at the position. Boise State finished the year 12-1, becoming the first team since 1900 to post four-straight 12-win seasons. The aforementioned senior class is the 10th-straight four-year class at Boise State to win at least 40 games. Two of the stalwarts of the departing class, Moore and left tackle Nate Potter, closed their careers with All-America honors. Potter was a consensus All-American on the field and a first-team Academic All-American in the classroom. Redshirt freshman wide receiver Matt Miller provided a glimpse at the future with 679 receiving yards and nine scores to earn postseason honors of his own. Miller was named first-team freshman All-America by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and second-team freshman All-America by Yahoo Sports. The offense was once again Boise State’s calling card, ranking fifth in the country in scoring at 44.23 points per game and ninth in total offense (481.31 yards per game). Redshirt senior Tyler S hoemaker became Moore’s favorite red zone target, hauling in a school-record 16 touchdowns from his wide receiver position. Senior Doug Martin led the ground attack, rushing for 1,299 yards and 16 touchdowns. Moore was named the MW Offensive Player of the Year, leading a contingent of 12 Broncos named all-conference. Potter, Martin and Shoemaker joined their signal caller on the offensive first team. Seniors Tyrone Crawford, Shea McClellin and George Iloka garnered first-team honors on defense. The defensive trio led a squad that held opponents to 18.69 points per contest, ranking No. 12 nationally. The Broncos’ on-field results translated to unparalleled success in April’s NFL Draft. A school-record six players were selected, including first-round picks McClellin (No. 19) and Martin (No. 31). Crawford (third round, No. 81), Iloka (fifth round, No. 167), Winn (sixth round, No. 205) and Nate Potter (seventh round, No. 221) also heard their names called.

In 2012 the Boise State football team was surrounded by question marks after losing six players to the National Football League Draft, including first-round selections Shea McClellin and Doug Martin. The high turnover left the Broncos with the fewest returning starters in the country. In addition to the record-setting number of draftees, the team would be without the winningest quarterback in college football history, Kellen Moore. While much of the preseason focus was spent on what the Broncos did not have, Boise State was ready to be led by sixth-year running back D.J. Harper and an opportunistic defense formed by players ready to live up to the standard set by those before them. New faces, same results. The Broncos captured a share of the Mountain West Conference Championship, their first title in the team’s second year in the league, and the fifth conference championship in seven seasons under head coach Chris Petersen. Boise State was nationally-ranked in 12 of its 13 games in 2013, and finished the season 19th in the Bowl Championships Series Standings, 15th in the USA TODAY Coaches’ Poll and 20th in the Associated Press Poll. Boise State finished the year at 11-2, putting an exclamation point on its season with a 28-26 victory over Washington in the team’s third-straight trip MAACO Bowl Las Vegas. The Broncos won the game in thrilling fashion, as senior kicker Michael Frisina nailed a 27-yard field goal with 1:16 left. The 11 victories gave Boise State 10-or-more for seven-straight seasons, the only school in the country to accomplish the feat. Additionally, the Broncos’ 23 seniors in 2012 became the 11th-consecutive class to win at least 40 games in their careers. Thirteen members of the team were named to 2012 All-MW Teams, with five honored on the first team, four on the second team and four garnering honorable mention. Offensive lineman Matt Paradis joined a league-high four defensive players on the first team consisting of defensive linemen Mike Atkinson and Demarcus Lawrence, linebacker J.C. Percy and defensive back Jamar Taylor. Matt Miller (WR), Charles Leno, Jr. (OL), Brenel Myers (OL) and Jerrell Gavins (DB) were named All-MW Second Team, while D.J. Harper (RB), Jeremy Ioane (DB), Tommy Smith (LB) and Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe (DL) were named honorable mention. Taylor went on to become the second-highest drafted cornerback in school history, taken in the second round of the 2013 National Football League Draft – No. 54 overall – by the Miami Dolphins. Taylor led a Bronco defense that, despite losing nine starters, ranked fifth-nationally in both pass defense (169.46) and pass efficiency defense (101.35), eighth-nationally in scoring defense (15.77), 11th-nationally in sacks (2.92) and 12th-nationally in total defense (315.62). The Broncos forced 36 turnovers in 2012, ranking fourth in the country. Included were 18 fumble recoveries – the most in the nation – and 18 interceptions, a mark that ranked tied for 12th-nationally.

// Hall of Fame Broncos //
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
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 All-Americans 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 two-time junior college All-American 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.
Trautman: Key Member of 1980 National Championship Team
A native of Caldwell, Tr a u t m a n w a s 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 firstteam All-America awards after being named to both the Kodak and Associated Pre s s D i v i s i o n 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 All-Big 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.

// Albertsons Stadium and Lyle Smith Field // The home of Boise State football has seen many changes. Growing from an original seating capacity of 14,500 and a green Astro Turf field, to a current capacity of 36,387 and the now famous Blue field. In 2014, after being known for the past 44 years as Bronco Stadium, one of the great home fields in college football was changed to Albertsons Stadium. The changed was made after Albertson’s LLC committed $12.5 million over 15 years for the naming rights to the stadium. While the name on the outside of the stadium has changed, the name on the field remains the same. Lyle Smith Field is named after the undisputed “father” of Bronco football. From from 1946 through 1967, Lyle Smith built one of the top junior college programs in the country. When he retired from his head coaching position to become the athletic director at Boise State, Smith had produced a record of 156-6-6 (84.6%). The current stadium was completed during the summer of 1970 at a cost of $2.2 million and has expanded four times. The last expansion was completed during the summer of 2012 when permanent steel bleachers were installed in the north and south end zones. Seating in the north end zone was increased to 3,750 while the south was increased to 5,000 at a cost of $3.1 million. 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 luxury suite seating, along with a state-of-the-art press box. The second major expansion came in 1997 when capacity was increased to 30,000 when seating was added in the southwest and southeast corners, construction of the Allen Noble Hall of Fame Gallery and completion of the Larry and Marianne Williams Plaza at a cost of $10 million. Albertsons Stadium was first expanded to 20,000 in 1974 when the east side upper deck was added. Portable end zone seating brought the capacity to 22,600 through the 1996 season. Boise State established a first in 1986 by installing the country’s 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. A second blue FieldTurf field was installed prior to the 2010 season making a total of five different blue fields at the stadium. 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 at Albertsons Stadium 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.

// Boise State President // to prepare future innovators and leaders to help boost the region’s future in economics, science and the arts and humanities. Since Dr. Kustra became president in 2003, the university has grown to more than 20,000 students with more than 3,700 graduates a year. Boise State now confers more than 40 percent of all bachelor’s degrees awarded by Idaho public colleges and universities.
Dr. Bob Kustra, the 6th president in Boise State’s more than 80-year history, has lead a transformation that has turned our riverside campus in downtown Boise into a metropolitan research university of distinction. He has guided Boise State into a student-centric institution with a strong dedication to our region and community, and a devotion to experiential learning and the kind of applied research that helps our faculty, students and industry partners solve real-life problems. Harnessing the creativity and cando attitude that Boise State has most famously exhibited on the Blue Turf and in Fiesta Bowl wins against Oklahoma and TCU, Dr. Kustra has continually challenged our campus community to reimagine and reinvent the higher education experience
While the majority of our students hail from Idaho, Boise State continues to attract more students from around the country and the world. Our incoming freshmen are better prepared and more likely to graduate on time and on budget than ever before. Our metropolitan research campus has expanded considerably in Dr. Kustra’s tenure. After a 10-year, $300 million capitol effort, the university now boasts stateof-the art multidisciplinary buildings, high-tech classrooms, clean rooms and laboratories, and cutting-edge facilities for the arts, business and economics, engineering, science, public policy and more. The university has more than doubled its graduate offerings and has become the fastest-growing research enterprise in Idaho. Dr. Kustra has worked to improve the undergraduate experience and nurture a vibrant campus life. And through it all, Boise State tuition has remained among the lowest of public universities in the country.
// 178 //
Before coming to Idaho, Dr. Kustra had a long and distinguished career in public service in Illinois, serving two terms as lieutenant governor, and 10 years in the Illinois legislature, where he served in leadership. He chaired the Illinois Board of Higher Education, responsible for funding and oversight of the state’s nine public universities. He served as president of the Midwestern Higher Education Commission and of Eastern Kentucky University. He has held faculty positions at Northwestern University, the University of IllinoisChicago, Loyola University of Chicago and the University of Illinois- Springfield. Dr. Kustra previously served as a member of the NCAA Division I board of directors and is currently serving as Chair of the Mountain West Conference Board of Directors. He also served as a Commissioner of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. In 2007, he was inducted into the Idaho Hall of Fame and was named the Most Influential Person in the Boise valley by The Idaho Statesman. Each week, Dr. Kustra features lively conversations with some of the nation’s leading authors about issues and ideas that matter today on his radio show, Reader’s Corner, which airs weekly on Boise State’s NPR station. Dr. Kustra holds degrees from Benedictine College and Southern Illinois University, and a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign. He and his wife, Kathy, have two grown children, three grandsons, and treasure the memory of their son, Steve.
// Boise State Athletic Director // Coyle also introduced the priority point system for the Bronco Athletic Association, which rewards season ticket holders and financial gifts to the athletics department. In addition, the department was able to secure a $12.5 million naming gift from Albertsons to name the football stadium Albertsons Stadium in the spring of 2014. Coyle also implemented a strategic plan for the department - centered on developing student-athletes and staff to be leaders academically, athletically and in the community. He came to Boise State from the University of Kentucky, where he served as the Deputy Director of Athletics.
Mark Coyle was named Director of Athletics on Dec. 1, 2011. During his tenure, Bronco Athletic teams have posted the highest grade-point average in school history and more than 70 percent of studentathletes have a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher. In addition to the academic success, the Broncos have won multiple conference championships, including football, women's gymnastics, women's swimming and diving and men's tennis. Several teams have advanced to NCAA postseason play, including men's basketball, women's basketball, women's gymnastics, men's tennis, wrestling, and men's and women's cross country and track and field. Additionally, the department successfully negotiated home-and-home football games with Florida State University, the University of Virginia, Oklahoma State University and the University of Cincinnati.
In that role, he oversaw the day-today operations of an $83 million, selfsufficient, 22-sport athletics department. He served as the sport administrator for men's basketball and volleyball, and also handled the management of scheduling contracts for football and men's basketball. While at Kentucky, fundraising reached record levels in annual seat donations and capital pledges, improving facilities for multiple programs, including football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, volleyball, gymnastics, men's and women's track and field, softball, baseball and rifle. During his time at Kentucky, the athletics department's operating budget increased $28 million. Additionally, Coyle oversaw the day-to-day management of the multi-media rights agreement with IMG College, valued at more than $78 million.
Coyle joined the University of Kentucky from the University of Minnesota, where he served nearly four years in a number of capacities, most recently as Associate Athletics Director for External Relations. In this role, he oversaw the corporate sponsorship and suite sales of Gopher Sports Properties, marketing and promotions, athletics communications, video services, the ticket office, licensing and gophersports. com. As a member of Minnesota's executive management team, Coyle was responsible for assisting with the supervision of the day-to-day operations of the department, including creating and implementing the athletics budget, hiring coaches, administrators and staff. Prior to joining Minnesota, Coyle was the Vice President of the Collegiate Sports Division at Host Communications, Inc. Coyle helped manage multi-media marketing rights agreements with several Division I universities and conferences, including the University of Kentucky, the University of Texas, Florida State University, the University of Tennessee, the University of Notre Dame and the Southeastern Conference. In addition, Coyle gained valuable experience in ticket operations at Florida State University and the University of Miami (Fla.). Coyle (11/11/68) received his bachelor's degree in English from Drake University in 1991. He earned his master's degree in teaching from Drake University in 1992 and a master's degree in sports administration from Florida State University in 1993. He is married to Krystan, who is a doctor of physical therapy, and they have three children - Grace, Nicholas and Benjamin.

// The Mountain West // this is the moUntain West - From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 16th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West has marked several achievements over its first 15 years of existence, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automaticqualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the first conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the-art basketball instant replay system. Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively in 2005). With UNLV’s Anthony Bennett claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Mountain West is one of three conferences to have multiple No. 1 NBA draft selections since 2000. Also, with San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg earning the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999. The pending changes in the NCAA governance structure set the table for another Conference first, when two members of the MW Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) were included in the June 2014 meeting of the Mountain West Board of Directors. New Mexico track and field athlete Kendall Spencer, the national chair of the 2014-15 NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, and Air Force volleyball player Emma Dridge joined the BOD members in this historic meeting to advance the discussion on student-athlete involvement in the NCAA and MW governance structure. The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders five MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico and Utah State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, respectively, while Fresno State, San Diego State and San Jose State add a West coast influence with their locations in Central, Southern and Northern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean, while the addition of the women’s soccer program at Colorado College gives the MW an additional presence in the Rocky Mountains. history - The Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from a former 16-team conference re-established continuity
and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its traditionrich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Three of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MW in 1999. TCU re-joined the group with its first year of competition in the Mountain West in 2005-06. With conference realignment sweeping the nation in recent years, the MW has been proactive in addressing membership changes. Boise State joined the Mountain West in 2011-12, followed by Fresno State and the University of Nevada on July 1, 2012. Also on July 1, 2012, the University of Hawai‘i became a football-only member of the Conference. On July 1, 2013, the Mountain West further expanded when San José State and Utah State joined the Conference, bringing to 11 the number of full-time member institutions and 12 football-playing members. On July 1, 2014, the Colorado College women’s soccer program became the first non-football affiliate member of the Mountain West, expanding that sport to 12 Conference participants. When the Mountain West officially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster exclusive national television rights to MW football and men’s basketball, and three-year agreements to send the league’s football champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Vegas Bowl. Commissioner Craig Thompson also arranged a third bowl tie-in each of the first three seasons (1999 Motor City, 2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans) before securing a four-year deal with the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco in 2002. Entering the 2013 season, the MW has six contracted bowl affiliations – the Las Vegas Bowl, San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, Hawai‘i Bowl, Famous Potato Idaho Bowl, Gildan New Mexico Bowl and R+L Carrier New Orleans Bowl. An innovator in the postseason bowl structure, the MW engineered many “firsts,” as league teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games (2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans, 2002 San Francisco (Emerald), 2005 Poinsettia, 2006 New Mexico), as well as placing the first non-automaticqualifying BCS team into a BCS bowl game with Utah’s appearance in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. academic consortiUm - From the outset, Mountain West member institutions have been committed to creating strong academic relationships, as well as athletic competition. To that end, the chief academic officers of each institution have explored academic exchange programs, library crossovers and shared research. In addition, the faculty athletics representatives routinely provide academic assistance and test-taking services for studentathletes visiting from fellow member institutions for competition. oPPortUnity - The Mountain West provides a first-class athletic and academic experience for more than 5,100 student-athletes each year. Over the past 15 years, 41 Mountain West student-athletes have earned NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships, and since the league’s inception in 1999, an additional 30 student-athletes have been named MW ScholarAthlete of the year and awarded league-sponsored postgraduate scholarships. Three Mountain West student-athletes have earned distinction as Rhodes Scholars (Jessica Mellinger, Wyoming and Delavane Diaz and Brittany Morreale, Air Force). Conference student-athletes are also given a voice regarding pertinent issues within the

MW and NCAA governance structure through representation on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). The Mountain West SAAC consists of 23 representatives; two student-athletes from each full member institution and one faculty athletics representative. The committee reviews and reacts to legislation and to other topics referred by the Conference constituent groups or committees related to the student-athlete experience. With the inclusion of two SAAC members at the June, 2014 meeting of the MW Board of Directors, the Conference reaffirmed its commitment to the participation of student-athletes in its governance structure, consistent with the Mountain’s West focus on enhancing the student-athlete experience. achieVement - The MW has produced 840 All-America selections among its 18 sponsored sports (men’s swimming was discontinued as a Conference sport following the 2010-11 season) in the last 15 years, including a league-record 83 All-America honorees in 2010-11. A total of 150 MW studentathletes have also earned Academic All-America accolades in that span. The Mountain West has sent at least 25 teams to NCAA postseason events in each of the past 15 years, capturing three team national championships in women’s cross country and producing 36 individual national champions in the sports of men’s golf, men’s cross country, and men’s and women’s indoor track & field and outdoor track & field. Mountain West members have participated in 62 bowl games under the league umbrella, including four appearances in BCS games. The MW has earned 72 postseason bids in men’s basketball, with five Sweet 16 appearances among 40 NCAA Tournament slots, as well as two NIT Final Four berths. MW women’s basketball has tallied 63 postseason slots, including 33 NCAA bids, five Sweet 16 appearances and one Elite Eight berth since 2000. Wyoming won the MW’s first WNIT championship in 2007 with a win over Wisconsin. In women’s volleyball, the MW has had 37 NCAA bids with eight Sweet 16 berths and one Elite Eight appearance. Women’s soccer has earned 28 NCAA bids since 1999, with two Sweet 16 berths and one Elite Eight appearance. Mountain West men’s golf has sent at least three teams to the NCAA Men's Golf Regionals in each of its 15 years, while women’s golf has had at least three teams participate in NCAA Regionals 12 of the last 15 years. sPortsmanshiP - Named a Sports Ethics Fellow by the Institute for International Sport in 1998, Commissioner Thompson has been a driving force for sportsmanship within intercollegiate athletics. As part of its continuing growth and development, the Mountain West implemented an extensive Sportsmanship Initiative, endorsed by both the MW Joint Council and MW Board of Directors. The program is made up of several elements, which are both practical and philosophical in nature. While the MW has significant penalties in place to deal with violations, the Sportsmanship Initiative is primarily promotional and educational in nature. The goal is to develop an environment that fosters appropriate behavior from all Conference constituencies. mountain West quick Facts Founded: July 1, 1999 Members for the 2014-15 academic year: Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawai‘i (football only), Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, San José State, UNLV, Utah State, Wyoming Team NCAA Championships: 3 Individual NCAA Championships: 36 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Winners: 41 Academic All-America Selections: 160 All-America Selections: 840
// The Mountain West // Craig Thompson was the Mountain West Conference’s first employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the Conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. As the league enters its 16th season of competition in 2014-15, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for Mountain West institutions and student-athletes to be successful both academically and athletically. Since the Mountain West opened its doors on January 4, 1999, Thompson has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW has flourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. He has been instrumental in negotiating nearly $300 million in television revenue and has been an innovator in the postseason bowl structure as MW teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games. As conference realignment spread throughout the collegiate landscape over the past few years, Thompson positioned the Mountain West for the future with the additions of Fresno State and the University of Nevada on July 1, 2012, and San José State University and Utah State University on July 1, 2013. The University of Hawai‘i also joined the league as a football-only member on July 1, 2012. His leadership and vision have helped the conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS Sports Network, Comcast and ESPN, including becoming the first major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports channel featuring exclusive programming around its athletic programs, as well as conference news. In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was realized with the launch of The Mtn. – MountainWest Sports Network – the first sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic conference. Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Mountain West in the current Bowl Championship Series (BCS) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MW and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. The MW has been steadfast in its efforts to find a way to make the collegiate postseason football system fair for all universities. Through its first 15 years of competition, the Mountain West has participated in 62 bowl games, amassing a 35-27 (.565) all-time record in those contests. Over the last 10 seasons, the MW has captured the Bowl Challenge Cup four times and owns the second-best win percentage in bowl games among the 10 FBS conferences with a 2819 mark (.595). The MW claimed the 2010, 2009 and 2007 Challenge Cups after finishing each of the three postseasons with 4-1 (.800) records. The league earned its first Cup after registering a 2-1 mark in bowl competition during the 2004 season. The Mountain West is the only conference to win the Bowl Challenge Cup four times since the award’s inception in 2002. Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference prior to the merger of the two leagues in 1991. During his eight years at the Sun Belt, he spent the majority of his time addressing national trends and challenges in intercollegiate athletics, television exposure, issues relating to conference membership and promoting corporate involvement. In 1997-98, the Sun Belt instituted a comprehensive sportsmanship policy, which earned Thompson designation as a 1998 Sports Ethics Fellow by the Institute for International Sport. Under Thompson’s leadership, the Sun Belt was active in expansion as it continued to strengthen its posture nationally, adding Florida International University and the University of Denver. Thompson is an integral part of the national landscape in intercollegiate athletics, holding many prestigious NCAA posts. He is currently on the NCAA Football Board of Directors and a member of the BCS administration. Thompson also is a member of the College Football Officiating Board of Managers, LLC, and a consultant for the Task Force on Commercial Activity in Intercollegiate Athletics. He also has served on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (1995-2000) and was appointed Chair of the committee in July 1999, completing his term September 1, 2000.
Over the tenure of his career, Thompson has been a member of the Executive Committee and the Director’s Cup Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), as well as the governing NCAA Council and various Council subcommittees. He has also played a prominent role in hosting numerous men’s and women’s NCAA postseason basketball tournaments in St. Louis, Atlanta, New Orleans and Denver. Prior to its merger with the Sun Belt, Thompson served as the first and only commissioner of the American South Conference, which boasted an NCAA national champion in women’s basketball during its first year. The American South also gained immediate national cable television exposure on ESPN and sent numerous teams into NCAA postseason play during the conference’s four-year history. Preceding his move to commissioner, Thompson served four years as the Director of Communications for the Metro Conference in Atlanta. While at the Metro, he directed the communications operations and administered conference championship events. Thompson originated the Metro Conference Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association, began a weekly radio program with over 300 affiliate stations, and originated a weekly satellite video program involving all Metro institutions. He also took on administrative duties such as coordination of officials, scheduling of tournament and regular-season play, and handling of legislative rules interpretations. Thompson graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism. Following graduation, he spent two years as assistant sports information director at Kansas State University, earning numerous CoSIDA publication awards. He then spent three years as director of public relations and promotions for the NBA’s Kansas City Kings. Thompson and his wife, Carla, have a son (Ted) and a daughter (Emma). athletic eXPerience 1998-present Commissioner, Mountain West Conference 1991-98 Commissioner, Sun Belt Conference 1987-91 Commissioner, American South Conference 1983-87 Director of Communications, Metro Conference 1980-83 Dir. of Public Relations & Promotions, Kansas City Kings 1978-80 Assistant SID, Kansas State University ncaa eXPerience 2014-present College Football Playoff Management Committee 2013-present Chair, FBS Subdivision of the Collegiate Commissioners Association 2011-12 Division I Bowl Licensing Task Force 2008-10 Consultant, Task Force on Commercial Activity in Intercollegiate Athletics 2008-10 NCAA Football President 2007-present College Football Officiating Board of Managers, LLC 1999-present NCAA Football Board of Directors 2002-04 NCAA Men’s Basketball Issues Committee 1999-00 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee Chair 1995-00 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee 1994-97 NCAA Basketball Officiating Committee 1989-92 NCAA Council • NCAA Council Subcommittee to Review Reform Proposals (1991) • NCAA Council Subcommittee to Develop a Division I-AAA Football Classification (1990-91) • NCAA Council Subcommittee on Athletics Certification (1991-92) additional actiVities and honors 2011-present Board of Consultants, JMI LLC 2005 NCAA Football College Relations Committee 2002 Horizon Awards Voting Academy 2000-present Lou Groza Award Voting 2000-present Naismith Awards Voting 1999-present USA Football Board of Directors 1998 Sports Ethics Fellow, Institute for International Sport 1994-98 Vice Chairman, Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation 1992-98 Directors’ Cup Committee, National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.
