2009 Season in Review Boise State entered the 2009 football season highly motivated to improve upon near perfection in 2008. After finishing the ’08 season 12-1, with their only loss being a one-point heart breaker against TCU (17-16) in the San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, there didn’t appear to be much more for the Broncos to achieve. That didn’t stop the boys in blue and orange from making another historic regular season run, however, winning 13 consecutive games, capturing Boise State’s seventh Western Athletic Conference Championship and earning the Broncos’ second trip to a Bowl Championship Series bowl in school history. Boise State relied on a balanced attack of offense, defense and special teams to secure the Broncos’ third undefeated regular season in four years under Head Coach Chris Petersen. While finishing the regular season ranked nationally in the top-10 in 12 different statistical categories, Boise State leads the country in scoring (44.2 ppg), ranks third in interceptions (21) and is fifth in kickoff returns (27.27 ypr). Sophomore quarterback Kellen Moore threw his way into the Boise State record books with 39 touchdown passes, which is the most for a single season in school history. Most impressively, however, Moore has thrown just three interceptions, which calculates to one interception for every 130.7 passes that he has attempted. Moore finished the regular season with the nation’s top QB efficiency rating (167.35), having completed 64.8 percent of his passes for 3,325 yards. His outstanding second season leading the Bronco offense earned Moore the WAC Offensive Player of the Year award and first-team all-conference honors. Defensively the Broncos hung their hat on a ball-hocking secondary that is led by senior All-American cornerback Kyle Wilson. Opposing offenses didn’t give Wilson many opportunities to make plays, but when his number was called, Wilson made the most of it. He scored the first interception return for touchdown of his career against San Jose State with a 27-yard pick six. Just two weeks later Wilson found pay-dirt again, this time returning a 71-yard interception for a touchdown against Idaho. Despite putting up modest statistical numbers, Wilson’s presence as a shut down corner earned him first-team All-WAC honors for the second consecutive season. But despite being sometimes overshadowed by the offense and defense, it was the Bronco special teams that may have been the most complete unit for Boise State this year. Aside from their outstanding kickoff return play, the Broncos also ranked ninth nationally in net punting (42.00 ypp). Titus Young, the electric junior wide receiver, led the charge on the kickoff return unit becoming the first player in school history to record two kickoff return touchdowns in one season. Young’s first kickoff return touchdown came against Idaho (100 yards). He followed that up with a 95-yard score on the opening kickoff against Nevada just two weeks later.

Boise State’s balance helped the Broncos solidify some question marks that lingered at the start of the season. Despite returning a majority of their offensive and defensive lines from last season, it was still unclear where the depth would come from at the end of fall camp. While the offensive line was overloaded with players fighting for a starting job, the defensive line’s biggest concern appeared to be a shallow pool of support behind the starting four. Both units stepped up big, though, exceeding the expectations on both sides of the ball. The offensive line helped Boise State improve their run production to average 194.5 yards per game. It also provided tremendous protection for Moore, allowing just five quarterback sacks, which is the fewest in the nation. The defensive line managed to wreak havoc on opposing offenses, allowing just 126.8 rushing yards and 299.6 total yards of offense per game. The Broncos recorded 24 sacks and 97 tackles for loss on the season.

Boise State’s best defensive stand came in the Broncos’ season opener against the University of Oregon in the most anticipated home matchup in school history. Boise State, who entered the season ranked No. 14 in the Associated Press Top-25, was hosting its’ highest ranked opponent (No. 16) ever in front of a record crowd of 34,127 in Bronco Stadium. In a game that was expected to be an offensive shootout, the Boise State defense shined, holding the eventual Pac-10 Conference Champions to just one score in a 19-8 final. Most impressively, the Broncos held the high

2009 Season in Review Struggling to establish a run game against the Aggies, Boise State had its’ lowest offensive productivity in four weeks. After a scoreless first quarter, the Broncos produced a 13 point second quarter and a 14 point third quarter en route to a 34-16 win. Only tallying 101 rushing yards in the game, Boise State relied on Moore to provide an offensive spark in the air. He completed 22-of-31 passes for 285 yards and three touchdowns. Two of Moore’s TD passes were to junior wide receiver Austin Pettis, who extended his streak of consecutive games with a TD catch to five. But despite Boise State earning its’ fifth win of the season, the Broncos stumbled in the AP Poll for the first time all season. The Broncos hit the road once again, ranked No. 6, traveling to Tulsa, Okla., to face off against the high powered Tulsa offense. The Golden Hurricane gave Boise State all it could handle, including the Broncos first deficit of the season. Tulsa struck first midway through the opening quarter, scoring on a 53-yard TD pass. The Broncos would even the score at seven, but the tie wouldn’t last long as Tulsa would march back down the field and take a 14-7 lead.

Moore found Pettis for a 17-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter, and the Broncos never trailed again. A 10 point third quarter would give Boise State a 28-14 lead, which the Broncos would have to hang onto for dear life. Tulsa struck again on a 55-yard touchdown pass with 9:29 to go in the fourth quarter, and had the ball again late but failed to put together a game tying drive as the Broncos held on for a 28-21 win. Martin had his second 100-yard rushing game in three weeks, recording 112 yards on 23 carries. The win gave the Broncos just enough momentum to move back to No. 5 in the AP Poll, which propelled them to No. 4 in the first BCS Poll of the season, once again breaking the school record for Boise State’s highest national ranking ever. But as things were still moving forward for the Broncos, some concern lingered surrounding an offense that had sputtered at times in previous weeks. Those concerns would quickly be erased, however, as the Broncos rolled to a 54-9 win at Hawai’i.

powered Oregon offense without a first down until midway through the third quarter and gave the Ducks their lowest season totals in points (8), rushing yards (31) and total offense (152). Their impressive performance helped the Broncos jump three spots to No. 11 in the second AP Poll. Boise State’s offense would start to find a rhythm in week two as the Broncos played host to Miami (OH). The Bronco offense posted 48 points on the Red Hawks behind four touchdown passes from Moore. He completed 16-of-26 passes for 307 yards, including a 54-yard score to Young. The Bronco defense continued its’ stifling play, holding Miami (OH) to just 194 total yards (38 rushing) and posting its’ only shutout of the season in the 48-0 win. A 2-0 start would earn the Broncos a No. 10 ranking in the third AP Poll of the season, marking the first time in school history Boise State reached the top-10 before the month of November. The team wouldn’t have much time to enjoy the early season success, however, as the Broncos were just a week away from a highly anticipated WAC opening trip to Fresno State. Boise State took advantage of a quick start against the Bulldogs, jumping to a 24-3 lead which began with a 30-yard interception return touchdown by Winston Venable in the first quarter. The Fresno State offense could only be pinned down for so long, though, as running back Ryan Matthews broke touchdown runs of 69 and 60 yards to cut the Bronco lead to 24-17 at the half. As both teams started to run up and down the field in the second half, Boise State managed to make more big plays and hold off the Bulldogs, 51-34. Jeremy Avery tallied 186 rushing yards and 83 receiving yards, which was capped by a 67-yard touchdown reception on a fourth quarter screen pass from Moore. Despite the slight scare, Boise State continued to move in the national rankings, jumping two more spots to No. 8 in the fourth AP Poll of the season. The Broncos took their offensive attack on the road to Bowling Green, where they would overcome a slow start with a 29-point second quarter explosion. After being kept out of the endzone in the first quarter, the Broncos tallied 43 points in the second and third en route to a 49-14 win. Moore threw a pair of touchdown passes, completing 17-of-21 passes for 247 yards. Sophomore running back Doug Martin stole the spotlight, however, recording 116 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. Martin, who started his career at Boise State as a running back, had been moved to defensive back during spring ball. He recorded seven tackles in the first three games, but was moved back into the backfield after DJ Harper went down with a season ending injury. Boise State’s 4-0 start helped the Broncos make history as they moved up to No. 5 in the AP Poll, which marked their highest regular season ranking in any major poll in school history. Boise State returned home to give Bronco fans a look at the fifth-ranked team in the land with a homecoming match up against the UC Davis Aggies.

2009 Season in Review It took eight minutes for Boise State to find the endzone against the Warriors, but after that the Broncos rallied off 44 unanswered points. Moore threw a career high five touchdowns on 18-of-30 passing for 223 yards. He found Pettis for a 14-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter, which gave Pettis a school record seventh consecutive game with a TD catch. The previous record was six games, which was set by Ryan Ikebe in 1994. But despite the 7-0 start, Boise State dropped three spots in the second BCS poll of the season to No. 7. With its’ toughest stretch of road games behind them, the Broncos returned home to host San Jose State in a Halloween showdown. There would be no fright night for Boise State, however, as the Broncos would allow just one Spartan touchdown while racking up 430 yards of total offense in a 45-7 win. Kellen Moore found his younger brother Kirby for their first collegiate touchdown connection, on a 61-yard TD pitch and catch at the 9:32 mark in the first quarter. Kirby finished with four catches for 80 yards in the first breakout game of his young career. The Broncos, who stuck at No. 7 in the BCS after their seventh win of the year, next faced their last long road trip of the season, traveling to Ruston, La., to face the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. Boise State rushed out to a big 27-7 halftime lead, but would still need a couple of big plays late to secure a 45-35 win over La Tech. After giving up 14 points in the third quarter and an early touchdown in the fourth, the Broncos found themselves in a 30-28 game. A 12-yard touchdown pass from Moore to Tyler Shoemaker and a 44-yard TD run by Avery put the game out of reach, however, pushing Boise State through one of its’ last scares of the season. Week No. 10 found the Broncos up one spot in the BCS to No. 6 and returning home to host in-state rival Idaho for the Governor’s Cup. The Broncos and Vandals went back and forth throughout the first half, pushing the score to 35-17 with 0:27 left before intermission. But just when it looked like the high scoring first half was over, Young returned an Idaho kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, giving Boise State an insurmountable lead.

A 71-yard interception return for touchdown by Wilson in the third quarter put an exclamation point on an afternoon that was highlighted by Moore and Pettis. Moore tied his career high with five touchdown passes, four of which were to Pettis, as the Broncos ran away with a 63-25 win. The four touchdown grabs gave Pettis 14 total on the season, which broke the Boise State school record of 13 previously held by Mike Holton (1975) and Don Hutt (1974). Found at another stand still in the BCS rankings, the No. 6 Broncos hit the road for the final time during the regular season to face Utah State in another crucial WAC showdown. The Aggies managed to keep things close for a while, tying the game at 14 a piece with 6:28 to go in the first half. A pair of Bronco touchdowns late in the second quarter opened the game up, however, as Boise State scored 28 unanswered points en route to a 52-21 victory. The Broncos tallied the most offensive yards of the season (572) behind a rushing attack of Martin and Avery that racked up 323 yards on the ground. Martin scored four rushing touchdowns, while Avery chipped in with a pair of his own. Boise State also topped the 40-point mark for the fifth consecutive game, giving the Broncos a great deal of momentum heading into their conference championship showdown with Nevada. Pettis’ streak of consecutive games with a touchdown reception came to an end at 10 games, as he failed to find the end zone against the Aggies. With at least a share of the WAC title hanging in the balance it didn’t take long for Boise State, who ranked No. 6 in the BCS for the third straight week, to set the tempo for the game. Young scored the Broncos’ fastest points of the season, returning the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. The Broncos never trailed from there. After a pair of Moore touchdown passes to fullback Dan Paul, Boise State built a 20-0 lead after the first quarter. Nevada rallied with a 16 point second quarter, but never was able to gain enough momentum to overtake the Broncos. Boise State scored 17 points in the second half to push their lead to 44-26 with just 5:08 to go in the game. A late score by the Wolf Pack narrowed the final margin to 44-33, but was too little too late to stop the Broncos from capturing their seventh WAC championship in eight years. Moore threw five touchdown passes for the third time in the season, completing 17-of-33 passes for 262 yards. The championship celebration would have to wait one more week, however, as the Broncos knew they had one more piece of unfinished business on the table; the season finale against New Mexico State. With a perfect season and the outright WAC title on the line, No. 6 Boise State rolled to a 42-7 win over the Aggies to secure the Broncos’ third undefeated regular season in four years. Moore found Young for the first score of the game with a 47-yard touchdown pass with 3:56 to go in the first quarter. A 21 point second quarter broke the game open and the Broncos never looked back. As time expired, Boise State fans poured on to the blue turf to celebrate the most regular season wins in school history (13), another conference title and a chance for the Broncos’ second BCS post season bowl berth in four years.

Head Coach Chris Petersen The awards and accolades keep accumulating for Boise State head football coach Chris Petersen. After guiding the 2009 Broncos to a perfect 13-0 regular season record, Boise State’s seventh Western Athletic Conference Championship and its’ second Bowl Championship Series postseason bowl game appearance, Petersen was named WAC Coach of the Year for the second time in his career. Petersen has also been named a finalist for the Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year Award and the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award after concluding his third perfect regular season in four years at the helm. Petersen is one of eight head coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A) who are finalists for the “Bear” Bryant Award, which is considered college football’s top coaching honor. Petersen led the Broncos to their highest BCS ranking ever in 2009, as Boise State was No. 4 in the first BCS poll of the season. The Broncos never fell lower than No. 7 in the BCS, and spent the last five weeks ranked No. 6. Most impressively, Boise State managed to do so with one of its’ youngest teams ever, which boasts just four seniors. Petersen earned his first WAC Coach of the Year Award after guiding the 2008 Broncos to a 12-1 overall record, a league championship and an appearance in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. In addition, Petersen was also named a 2008 finalist for the “Bear” Bryant honor. Coach Petersen has been named a finalist for the award three times, winning it for the 2006 season after leading the Broncos to an undefeated 13-0 season and their now-famous 43-42 overtime victory over the University of Oklahoma in the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. In addition to the Bryant Award, Petersen was also named a finalist for the Liberty Mutual and Eddie Robinson awards in 2008. Petersen, who has a career record of 48-4 for a .923 winning percentage, guided this year’s Boise State team to its fourth undefeated regular season in six years, its seventh WAC championship in eight seasons, and finished the season with a No. 6 ranking by the Associated Press. In his four seasons at Boise State, “Coach Pete” has clearly established himself as one of the top young football coaches in the country, leading the Broncos to a bowl game and a consistent presence in the national rankings each of those years. Under Petersen, Boise State has compiled an impressive 31-1 record in the WAC with a league championship in 2006, 2008 and 2009, and a runner-up finish in ’07. Considered one of the most innovative offensive minds in the college coaching ranks, Petersen and his staff guided an offense that continues to be among the nation’s best. At the end of the 2009 regular season, the Broncos led the nation in scoring offense (44.2 ppg) and sacks allowed (5). Boise State also tied for first in the least interceptions thrown (3) and ranked second in pass efficiency rating (164.23). Boise State finished the 2009 regular season ranked No. 6 in the AP Poll, USA Today Coaches Poll and Harris Interactive Poll. Prior to this season, Boise State’s No. 5 ranking at the end of the 2006 season was the highest in school history. As the ninth head coach in the 40-year history of Boise State’s football participation at the four-year level, Petersen led the ’06 Broncos to their first undefeated season since 1958 (when the school was still a junior college), their first-ever BCS bowl berth, and their fifth straight WAC title.

Head Coach Chris Petersen

Honors and national rankings are nothing new to Petersen. In the history of college football, only one coach since 1900 won 13 games in his first season at the helm of an FBS team. That coach was Petersen in 2006. In addition to winning the Bryant award that year, Petersen was a finalist for the ’06 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award, a semifinalist for the George Munger Coach of the Year award, and was named the Region 4 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. As Boise State’s offensive coordinator from 2001-2005, he was twice (2002 and 2004) a finalist for the Broyles Award, which honors the nation’s top assistant football coach. Prior to taking over the top coaching position at Boise State in 2006, Petersen’s stint as offensive coordinator for the Broncos (2001-05) featured one of the most potent attacks in the country, averaging 41.3 points per game while also finishing as the nation’s top scoring team twice (2002 and 2003). The Broncos also finished second (2004), eighth (2005) and 18th (2001) in the nation in scoring while Petersen was running the Broncos’ offense. During Petersen’s five seasons as offensive coordinator, Boise State finished in the top 15 in total offense four times, including three top10 finishes – first in 2002, fourth in 2004, and seventh in 2003. The Broncos also had four top 20 finishes in passing during that time, including a high ranking of fifth in 2003. Boise State also ranked in the top 25 in the country in rushing in three of the last four seasons that Petersen coached the offense, including 14th in 2004 and 15th in 2005. Several players have excelled individually under Petersen in his four years as head coach; the most recent example is sophomore quarterback Kellen Moore.

Moore, who was named 2009 WAC Offensive Player of the Year, finished the regular season with the nation’s top passing efficiency rating (167.35). He has also thrown the second most touchdown passes of any FBS quarterback (39) and has tossed the fewest interceptions (3) of any QB that has played in at least 10 games this year. As a freshman Moore was named 2008 WAC Freshman of the Year. He finished the 2008 season ranked 12th in the nation in passing efficiency and 24th in total offense. In Petersen’s four years as head coach, 24 of his players were named first-team All-WAC and 19 others were selected second-team all-conference. In 2009 the Broncos placed Moore, wide receivers Austin Pettis and Titus Young, and offensive lineman Nate Potter on WAC first-team offense. Young was also named first-team All-WAC as a kickoff specialist. On defense, cornerback Kyle Wilson and defensive end Ryan Winterswyk were also named first-team all-conference. Players who earned second-team recognition were running back Jeremy Avery, defensive lineman Billy Winn, linebacker Winston Venable and defensive back Jeron Johnson. In 2009 Boise State led the WAC in both scoring offense (44.2 ppg) and scoring defense (17.7 ppg). The Broncos also ranked first in total defense (299.6 ypg) and were second in total offense (460.5 ypg). Their success was powered behind a defense that led the conference in pass defense (172.8 ypg) and pass efficiency defense (103.5), while their offense was tops in pass efficiency. The Broncos also dominated on special teams, leading the WAC in kickoff returns (27.3 ypr) and punting (38.8 ypp). In total, the Broncos led the conference in 16 statistical categories. Given Petersen’s ability to develop quarterbacks, the future bodes well for Moore. As Boise State’s offensive coordinator and then as its head coach, Petersen was instrumental in the development of quarterbacks Ryan Dinwiddie and Jared Zabransky, who are among the most successful collegiate signal callers in recent years. Dinwiddie, who guided the Bronco offense from 2001-03, finished as the NCAA career passing efficiency leader with a rating of 168.19. With Petersen as his quarterback coach, as well as the team’s offensive coordinator, Dinwiddie led the Broncos to a 28-6 record as a starter.

Head Coach Chris Petersen After Dinwiddie left, Petersen helped groom Zabransky into one of the nation’s most successful quarterbacks from 2004-06. Zabransky led Boise State to three straight league titles, two undefeated regular seasons, and a 32-5 record in his three years as a starter, including a 23-1 record in WAC games. Offensive tackle Ryan Clady also excelled under Petersen. A consensus All-American in 2007, Clady decided to skip his senior year of college and make himself eligible for the 2008 NFL draft. In April he became the first Bronco ever selected in the first round, going to Denver as the 12th overall selection. In 2006, Petersen’s first season as head coach, Clady earned second-team All-America recognition from SI.com while Ian Johnson (first-team SI.com and CBS Sportline; second-team Sporting News; and third-team Associated Press) and linebacker Korey Hall (second-team Sporting News) also earned All-America honors that year. In his five seasons as offensive coordinator, Petersen had two players earn All-America honors – running back Brock Forsey in 2002 and offensive tackle Daryn Colledge in 2004. He also helped 12 Broncos earn first-team All-WAC honors, while two (Dinwiddie in 2003 and Forsey in 2002) were named WAC Offensive Player of the Year. Petersen came to Boise State as Dan Hawkins’ offensive coordinator following the 2000 season from the University of Oregon, where he was the wide receivers coach. He joined the Oregon staff in 1995 and immediately helped contribute to a passing attack that ranked among the nation’s elite each of the six seasons he was an assistant. Twice during Petersen’s tenure at Oregon, the Duck offense broke the school record for single-season passing yards, and three times in the same time period the team broke the single-season school record for most touchdowns. Prior to working at Oregon, Petersen served as the quarterbacks coach at Portland State from 1993-1994, helping the Vikings advance to the NCAA Division II playoffs both seasons. In 1992 Petersen was the quarterbacks coach at the University of Pittsburgh. That season the Panthers established a school record for passing yards and ranked eighth nationally in total offense and passing. In addition, he contributed to the development of first-team All-Big East Conference quarterback Alex Van Pelt, who eclipsed the school’s passing yardage totals previously held by Dan Marino.

Petersen’s success as a coach can be linked to his record-setting career as a quarterback at the University of California, Davis. As a senior with the Aggies, he was named the Northern California Athletic Conference Player of the Year and was the top-rated Division II quarterback in the nation. Petersen received second-team Kodak Division II All-America honors and still holds the Division II record for career pass completions at 69.6 percent. Petersen was inducted into the UC Davis Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in psychology from UC Davis in 1988, Petersen started his coaching career at his alma mater, serving as UC Davis’ head freshman coach in 1987-88 and the receivers coach from 1989-91. Petersen holds a master’s degree in educational psychology from UC Davis. He and his wife, Barbara, are the parents of two sons, Jack (13) and Sam (10).

2009 Game-by-Game Results

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -The biggest home game in Boise State history became a four-quarter bullying of its big-conference neighbor. Kellen Moore threw for 197 yards and a touchdown, and the 14th-ranked Broncos shoved aside No. 16 Oregon 19-8. D.J. Harper scored on a 1-yard run early in the third quarter and Boise State held on for a shaky final 25 minutes of mistakes and turnovers to record its 50th straight regular-season home victory and ruin Chip Kelly’s debut as Oregon head coach. For 2 1/2 quarters, the biggest home game in Boise State history was a celebration of all things blue and orange before the nervous final stretch as a Ducks offense that was stuck in neutral most of the night finally gained some traction. But Boise State’s defense answered every Oregon charge and knocked off the Ducks for the second consecutive season after last year’s contentious matchup in Eugene.

Nearly every available space inside Bronco Stadium was crammed with fans desperate to see this border-state battle, one that everyone expected to turn into a high-scoring shootout. If not for two missed field goals, a botched field-goal snap and three turnovers, it very well might have been a high-scoring rout for the Broncos. They outgained Oregon 361 to 152, rolling up 22 first downs to the Ducks’ six. The struggles of Kelly’s offense were stunning, considering Oregon scored a combined 162 points in its final three games of 2008 and brought quarterback Jeremiah Masoli back to run the show. But Masoli’s passing was off and the Ducks could not get bruising Blount started. Blount carried only eight times and finished with minus-5 yards rushing, part of a miserable night for the stark, white-clad Ducks on the Broncos’ famous blue turf. And Masoli’s main passing target, Ed Dickson, might as well have not been on the field. He wasn’t thrown to in the first half and finished with just two catches for 19 yards. His first grab, with 7:07 left in the third quarter, finally got the Ducks their first first down. Masoli fnished 14 of 27 for 121 yards and an interception. The Broncos had no problem marching. Moore hit 14 of 20 throws in the first half and finished 19 of 29. He was also given plenty of time in the pocket behind a young offensive line that for one night answered the biggest question about the Broncos in the offseason. Moore connected with Austin Pettis for a 10-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter and the two-point conversion put Boise State up 8-0. They later went up 10-0 when Blount was pulled down in the end zone by Billy Winn for a safety. The Broncos’ line also pushed Oregon’s defensive front and opened holes for Harper and Jeremy Avery. The pair combined for 162 yards rushing and Boise State finished with 164 yards rushing as a team. Boise State’s win was celebrated by a record crowd of 34,127 fans, which broke the old record of 32,412 that was set in 2008 against Fresno State.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Kellen Moore threw four touchdown passes, including a pair to Titus Young, as No. 12 Boise State rolled to a 48-0 victory over a young and struggling Miami, Ohio team still searching for its first points of the season. The Broncos were never really challenged by the rebuilding RedHawks, who were shut out 42-0 in last week’s opener against Kentucky. Moore was 16-of-26 passing for 307 yards, including a 54-yard TD pass to Young in the third quarter. Moore also threw touchdowns to Austin Pettis and Tyler Shoemaker before heading for the bench late in the third quarter with Boise State up 34-0. The Broncos offense, held to 19 points against Oregon, got on track late in the first half when Moore threw a 25-yard TD in the final seconds of the half. The scoring drive was set up when Pettis broke through the Miami protection to block a punt, giving the offense the ball at the Miami 49 with 31 seconds left in the first half.

Boise State scored on its next two possessions in the second half then let the defense do the rest. The Broncos outgained the RedHawks 441 to 197, and D.J. Harper led Boise State’s running game with 89 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries. Young led Boise State’s receivers with six catches for 114 yards. The Bronco defense held Miami to just 41 yards rushing and intercepted four passes. So far this season, the stingy Bronco defense has allowed just 8 points and just 308 total yards in two games. The RedHawks stayed close early, and managed to move the ball at times. But Miami failed to sustain drives after getting the first two or three first downs, and a second quarter interception by Daniel Raudabaugh killed a drive in Boise territory when Miami trailed by only 14-0. Raudabaugh was 21-of-35 passing for 155 yards and threw two of the four interceptions. Moore threw his first touchdown pass on Boise State’s second possession, a 17-yard strike to Pettis, who finished with four catches for 115 yards. Moore set up the score three plays earlier by hitting Pettis streaking down the sideline for 65 yards.Boise State junior kicker Kyle Brotzman missed an extra point attempt after the third touchdown, the first missed PAT of his career and snapped a string of 118 straight.

No. 10 Boise State 51, Fresno State 34September 18 - Bulldog Stadium - Fresno, California

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) -Jeremy Avery and Titus Young made sure Boise State had the answers to every big play Fresno State delivered. Avery had three plays of longer than 60 yards and Young scored two touchdowns, providing just some of the many highlight-reel plays in the 10th-ranked Broncos’ 51-34 victory. Avery scored on a 67-yard swing pass to break the game open in the fourth quarter and Young provided perhaps the biggest play of all, diving on Avery’s fumble in the end zone to complete a 75-yard score as Boise State won for the 57th time in its past 59 Western Athletic Conference games. Few were as entertaining as this one. The Broncos broke out to a 24-3 lead then had to scramble to win and keep alive its hopes for making it back to a Bowl Championship Series game. Fresno State got three touchdown runs of at least 60 yards from Ryan Mathews but again fell short against a ranked team, losing for the 10th straight time against teams in the Top 25. The skid started with a 50-42 loss to No. 1 Southern California in 2005. This game provided the appropriate bookend. With the Friday night stage to themselves, Boise State and Fresno State provided enough big

plays to last the weekend. The Broncos had two 77-yard kickoff returns, an interception return for a touchdown, a 60-yard touchdown run by D.J. Harper, and the big plays from Avery. The first of Avery’s plays came on a long run that appeared to be bound for the end zone. But A.J. Jefferson poked the ball loose just before Avery scored. With the ball rolling toward the back of the end zone for an apparent touchback and Boise State turnover, Young made a diving recovery before sliding out of bounds for the score that made it 34-24. Avery then answered a Fresno State score with the long screen pass that restored a 14-point lead early in the fourth quarter and he added a 69-yard run that set up a field goal. Avery finished with 186 yards on 11 carries, with 83 more yards receiving. Fresno State had plenty of big plays of its own, starting with the touchdown runs of 69, 60 and 68 yards by Mathews. Chastin West made a leaping 41-yard catch that was nearly an interception as Brandyn Thompson tried to wrestle the ball away and Devon Wylie made an acrobatic 21-yard touchdown catch from Ryan Colburn on the next play. Boise State appeared to pull away with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Moore to Austin Pettis in the opening minute of the fourth quarter, making it 41-27. But Mathews answered with his 68-yard run, part of a 234-yard night. Then one play after Marvin Haynes dropped a potential interception for Fresno State, Avery took Moore’s screen pass all the way for the third touchdown in the first 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, making it 48-34. The rout appeared to be on early for Boise State. Winston Venable returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown on the third play of the game. The Broncos added a field goal by Kyle Brotzman and the long run by Harper to make it 17-0 before Fresno State even managed a first down. Harper finished with 107 yards rushing before leaving with an undisclosed injury. That extended Boise State’s run of consecutive points against Fresno State to 68, dating to late in the second quarter of last year’s 61-10 Broncos’ victory. The lead grew to 24-3 before Mathews single-handedly brought the Bulldogs back with two long touchdowns that cut Boise State’s halftime lead to 24-17.

No. 8 Boise State 49, Bowling Green 14September 26 - Perry Stadium - Bowling Green, Ohio

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) -Kellen Moore was nearly flawless for No. 8 Boise State, throwing for 247 yards and two touchdowns in the Broncos’ 49-14 victory over Bowling Green. Boise State’s big play offense needed four plays or less on its first six scoring drives. The Broncos didn’t score until a minute into the second quarter when receiver Titus Young took a pitch from Moore and ran 18 yards for a touchdown. That was all the spark they needed. Doug Martin scored on a 34-yard run down the right sideline two minutes later and then Young scored 18 second after that. The Broncos had gotten the ball back when Boise State’s Brandyn Thompson intercepted Tyler Sheehan’s tipped pass. On the next play, Young ran 25 yards untouched into the end zone, giving the Broncos a 22-0 lead. All that took just 2:27. Moore threw for 195 yards in the second quarter alone, completing eight straight passes

at one point. He finished 17 of 21, spreading the ball around to six different receivers. Tyler Shoemaker had 105 yards on four catches. Bowling Green, hosting a top-10 team for the first time in school history, hung around early. The Falcons opened the game with a seven-minute drive, but came up empty after Jerry Phillips missed a 29-yard field goal. They did hold Boise State scoreless in the first quarter - about the only bright spot on the night. Boise State finished with 529 yards in total offense. The Broncos’ running game didn’t miss a beat despite playing without second-leading rusher D.J. Harper, who has what is likely a season-ending knee injury. Doug Martin, a defensive back who has seven tackles this season, took Harper’s spot and ran for 116 yards on 13 carries. Martin hardly looked like a back who had only seen limited action the last two seasons at running back. Starter Jeremy Avery rushed for 92 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown run on the second play of the third quarter that put Boise State ahead 36-0. Thompson’s interception in the second quarter marked the sixth consecutive game with a pick for the Broncos. The Broncos, with their best regular-season ranking in school history, intercepted Sheehan’s passes twice, giving them nine interceptions this season. They did give up just their second passing touchdown, but it came after the game was all but over. Sheehan, who had completed 68 percent of his throws this year coming into the game, couldn’t get anything going against the Broncos’ stingy pass defense. He finished 16-of-29 passing with just 137 yards. Boise State, making its first trip to Ohio, also shut down Falcons receiver Freddie Barnes who was leading the nation with 14 catches per game. He only managed four receptions for 24 yards.

No. 5 Boise State 34, UC Davis 16October 3 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -Kellen Moore threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns, including a pair to Austin Pettis, to lead No. 5 Boise State to a 34-16 victory over UC Davis.

The Broncos got off to a slow start and struggled to run the ball against the FCS Aggies.

The Broncos rushed for just 101 yards, far below the 214 yards per game they were averaging. Boise State got just 13 points in four trips to the red zone in the first half before Moore finally helped the offense get on track in the second half.

Moore was 22 of 31 with one interception. His longest TD pass was 42 yards to Titus Young. Pettis had 10 catches for 129 yards, while Young had six catches for 83 yards.

The Aggies were led by quarterback Greg Denham, who was 24-of-36 for 206 yards and two touchdowns. Both of Denham’s touchdowns came in the second half as the Aggies fought to keep pace. Midway through the third quarter, Denham fired a 21-yard TD to Sean Creadick to pull within 20-10. Then Denham connected with Creadick again on a 4-yard TD early in the fourth to cut the Broncos’ lead to 27-16. The Aggies missed the ensuing extra point.

The Broncos defense held the Aggies to just 28 yards rushing. But the Broncos were penalized nine times for 61 yards, and the defense failed to force a turnover.

Moore’s first TD came in the final minutes of the second quarter when he floated a 6-yard pass to Pettis in the left corner of the end zone, putting Boise State up 13-0 at the half.

After the Aggies turned Moore’s interception in the third quarter into a 48-yard field goal by Sean Kelley, Moore led the Broncos quickly back down the field. Moore capped a three-play, 60-yard scoring drive by tossing a 42-yard TD to Young streaking down the middle of the field to go up 20-3.

The Aggies answered, scoring five plays later on Denham’s first TD pass to Creadick.

The Broncos responded again through the air when Moore threw a 2-yard TD pass to Pettis to stretch their lead to 27-10 with 3:33 left in the third quarter.

No. 6 Boise State 28, Tulsa 21October 14 - H.A. Champman Stadium - Tulsa, Oklahoma

TULSA, Okla. (AP) -Kellen Moore threw two short touchdown passes to Tommy Gallarda, and No. 5 Boise State survived a late scare from Tulsa to escape with a 28-21 victory in one of the last road tests standing between the undefeated Broncos and the BCS. With Boise State trailing for the first time all season, Moore was perfect on two scoring drives to put the Broncos ahead to stay. Tulsa got within 28-21 in the fourth quarter when G.J. Kinne and Slick Shelley connected on consecutive passes for 91 yards, including a 55-yarder for a touchdown. The Golden Hurricane had one last chance to tie it in the final 2 minutes, but Boise State forced its fourth three-and-out of the second half to ice the game. Moore finished with 187 yards passing and three touchdown passes. Doug Martin had 112 yards on 23 carries in his second 100-yard game since moving back to offense after the Broncos lost running back D.J. Harper to a knee injury. Jeremy Avery added 73 yards as Boise State trampled Tulsa on the ground in the third quarter and then held

on for the win. Except for the two long connections between Kinne and Shelley, Boise State’s defense limited the Golden Hurricane - who led the nation in total offense each of the last two seasons - to 30 yards in the second half. Kinne missed a wide-open Charles Clay on fourth-and-6 to end Tulsa’s last possession, as he rolled out of the pocket to the left. He finished with 154 yards on 14-for-27 passing. ``Our O-line got going pretty well and it would have been nice to punch it in down there for some breathing room,’’ Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. ``If our O-line is doing what they need to do we can make some plays.’’ Tulsa represented one of the few challenges remaining on Boise State’s schedule as the Broncos move into Western Athletic Conference play. The rest of the teams on their schedule have a combined 16-21 record, and in-state rival Idaho (5-1) is the only one with a winning mark. Petersen wouldn’t look far down the schedule. ``Next week is a new challenge,’’ he said. ``We’ll reload and go then.’’ The Golden Hurricane - playing in front of a sellout crowd of 30,000 - jumped on top early, capitalizing on a muffed punt by cornerback Kyle Wilson with some trickery on the very next play. Kinne pitched the ball to A.J. Whitmore, the Golden Hurricane’s usual wildcat quarterback, and he found speedy receiver Damaris Johnson behind the defense for a 53-yard touchdown pass. It was the first time Boise State had trailed this season, and Moore immediately led a 68-yard scoring drive the opposite way. He hit all three of his passes for 45 yards and converted a fourth-and-1 at the 10-yard line with a sneak to set up his 8-yard scoring toss to Gallarda. He went 6 for 6 for 62 yards on the Broncos’ next drive, answering Kinne’s 15-yard scoring pass to Trae Johnson with a 17-yard TD connection to Austin Pettis. It was Pettis’ sixth straight game with a touchdown.SCORING 1st 2nd 3rd 4th TOTALSNo. 6 Boise State 8 10 10 0 28 Tulsa 14 0 0 7 21

No. 5 Boise State 54, Hawai’i 9October 21 - Aloha Stadium - Honolulu, Hawaii

HONOLULU (AP) - Kellen Moore came to work and wasn’t in the mood for relaxation. Moore threw a career-best five touchdown passes and No. 6 Boise State forced turnover after turnover in a dominating 54-9 victory over Hawaii to remain unbeaten and in the BCS race. The Broncos looked confident and sharp, building a 44-0 lead by the third quarter behind their stifling defense. For the night, the Broncos forced six turnovers that led to 30 points. Jeron Johnson intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble on Hawaii’s opening drive that ignited Boise State’s scoring performance. Boise State, which didn’t have a single takeaway in its two previous games, had everything working in its way, from trick plays to fourth-down conversions. Moore, who leads the nation in passing efficiency, was 18 of 30 for 223 yards. Four of his scoring throws came in the first half.

Despite the big lead, Moore played the entire game. Petersen said backup Mike Coughlin got dinged up his only play, an 8-yard run, so he was forced to play Moore the whole game. Titus Young had eight catches for 115 yards and three TDs, including a 48-yarder in the third quarter. After the catch, Young flashed the hang loose ``shaka’’ sign in front of the cheering Broncos fans, which quickly drew a flag and caught the ire of his coaches. Meanwhile, the year continued to get uglier for the injury-plauged Warriors, who have lost five straight for the first time since 1998. The 45-point loss was Hawaii’s worst since losing by 46 to top-ranked Southern California to open the 2005 season. Bryant Moniz, who started the season as the third-string quarterback, made his third straight start for Hawaii and sustained a concussion near the end of the opening quarter. He was replaced by Shane Austin, who was ineffective and threw three interceptions and one late scoring pass. Boise State scored 24 points in the second quarter, including 17 off three Hawaii turnovers. The scoring took the steam out of the Warriors on a muggy night at Aloha Stadium, where the Broncos are 4-4. They had lost two previous trips to Honolulu. With the 2007 WAC title on the line, the Broncos lost to Hawaii 39-27 to close the regular season and ended the year losing to East Carolina in the Hawaii Bowl. Greg Salas was stripped by Winston Venable while fighting for some extra yards and Brand Thompson recovered on the Hawaii 14. Moore threw a dart to Austin Pettis on the next play, putting Boise State up 17-0. Austin finally got the Warriors moving in the quarter, driving all the way to the Broncos 14. But his pass was snatched away in the end zone by Johnson. Boise State scored five plays later on Moore’s 24-yard TD pass to Young for a 24-0 lead. On the 80-yard drive, Pettis showed his versatility, completing a 28-yard pass to Kyle Efaw. Young also hauled in a 10-yard TD pass to put Boise State up 31-0 with 1:22 left in the half. And the Broncos weren’t done yet. Hunter White intercepted a pass by Austin, leading to Kyle Brotzman’s 28-yard field goal that gave the Broncos a 34-0 lead at halftime. Brotzman also had a career night with four field goals. Boise State also used trickery a few times. After failing to convert on its first three third-down attempts, Boise State went for it on fourth-and-2 from the Hawaii 35 and scored. With a defender charging at him, Moore dumped a play-action pass to Tyler Shoemaker who ran virtually untouched into the end zone to put Boise State up 10-0. The Broncos converted just three of their 13 third-down attempts, but were perfect on three fourth-down tries.

No. 5 Boise State 45, San Jose State 7October 31 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -Kellen Moore threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another as No. 6 Boise State coasted by San Jose State, the Broncos eighth straight victory. Boise State also got plenty of help from its defense, which held the Spartans to 223 total yards and forced two turnovers that led to touchdowns. In the last minute of the first half, the Broncos recovered a fumble deep in Spartans territory and scored four plays later on a 1-yard dive by Moore to go up 24-7 at the half. Early in the third quarter, cornerback Kyle Wilson picked off a pass and returned it 27 yards to put Boise State up 38-7. Moore, the nation’s most efficient passer coming into the game, was 21 of 33 before heading to the sidelines at the start of the fourth quarter. His three TD passes gave him 24 this season. His first TD pass was a 61-yarder to younger brother Kirby Moore that put the Broncos up 7-0 in the first quarter. The Broncos rolled up 430 total yards, but struggled most of the game to run the ball against

a defense that was giving up 259 yards per game on the ground. The Broncos, averaging 190 yards per game, were held to 140 yards, but the bulk of those came late with the game out of reach. Doug Martin led the Broncos with 63 yards, and he scored the game’s final touchdown on a 36-yard dash late in the fourth quarter. The Spartan run defense was a lone bright spot for a team that has lost 10 straight to the Broncos. Jordan LaSecla was 10 of 20 for just 79 yards and one touchdown, a 39-yarder to Marquis Avery that tied the game 7-7 in the first quarter. LaSecla was ineffective the rest of the way and ultimately replaced in the second half by Kyle Reed, last season’s starter. Reed was 6 of 12 for 52 yards, and he rushed six times for 28 yards. The turning point came in the final minute of the first half. With 1:35 left in the half, Moore led the Broncos on a six play, 45-yard scoring drive, capped with an 18-yard TD to Mitch Burroughs in the left corner of the end zone. One play after the ensuing kick, Spartan running back LaMon Muldrow fumbled after being hit by safety Jason Robinson, who recovered the ball on the Spartan 22 with 23 seconds left. After two misfires, Moore hit Tyler Shoemaker on a 21-yard pass, then scored on a dive on the next play. Austin Pettis led the Broncos with five catches for 63 yards and a touchdown, while Kirby Moore had four catches for 80 yards.

No. 5 Boise State 45, Louisiana Tech 35November 6 - Joe Aillet Stadium - Ruston, Louisiana

RUSTON, La. (AP) - Early in the fourth quarter, there was nervous pacing along Boise State’s sideline. With an opportunity to show a national television audience why they should once again become a BCS buster, a close game on the road was not what the fifth-ranked Broncos had in mind. They looked anxious, but they weren’t rattled. Moore threw for 354 yards and three touchdowns, and Boise State remained unbeaten and in contention for a BCS bid with a 45-35 victory over Louisiana Tech. Tech had pulled within 30-28 early in the fourth quarter on Dennis Morris’ leaping catch in the corner of the end zone. The Broncos defense buckled down long enough after that for Boise State to pull away with touchdowns on consecutive drives, first on Moore’s 12-yard pass to Austin Pettis and then on Jeremy Avery’s 44-yard touchdown run. Avery finished with 146 yards rushing, while Titus Young caught eight passes for 110 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown for Boise State. Boise State has scored no fewer than 45 points in each of its four WAC games this season.

Still, the Broncos could have used a more dominant victory in their quest to prove they are more deserving than unbeaten and sixth-ranked TCU for a Bowl Championship Series bid. Trailing 27-7 at halftime, Tech made a game of it in the third quarter, starting with Josh Victorian’s first career touchdown on Moore’s third interception of the season. It was an ill-advised throw under pressure that hung in the air for Victorian, who raced down the sideline and cut inside Moore to cap a 75-yard return. Moore responded by leading a 15-play drive to set up Kyle Brotzman’s third field goal, then Tech’s offense suddenly came to life. The Bulldogs got their first first down in two quarters on the way to a 73-yard scoring drive capped by Ross Jenkins’ 9-yard keeper around the right end to make it 30-21. Tech’s Matt Nelson then caught the Broncos by surprise with an onside kick that he recovered himself. Shortly after, Jenkins found Morris over the middle for 36 yards to the Boise State 12, setting up Jenkins’ third-down pass to Morris, who leaped to catch the ball over defensive back Kyle Wilson’s head to pull Tech within 30-28. When Brotzman missed his second field goal of the game on the Broncos’ next drive, the crowd was going wild, and it appeared the Bulldogs just might upset the highest-ranked team ever to play at Joe Aillet Stadium. Instead, Boise State put its figurative foot down, forcing a quick punt. Then Moore floated a pass down the sideline to Kyle Efaw for his second 40-yard completion of the game, setting up his scoring pass to Pettis to make it 38-28. Soon after, Tech failed to convert a fourth-and-6 on its own 44, setting up Avery’s game-clinching run that made it 45-28 with 4:52 to go. Tech managed one more touchdown after that. Moore’s three TD passes gave him 27 on the season, eclipsing the 25 he had last year as a freshman.

No. 6 Boise State 63, Idaho 25November 14 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Kellen Moore threw four touchdown passes to Austin Pettis and tied a career high with five overall, as the No. 6 Broncos overwhelmed Idaho 63-25.

Titus Young had a 100-yard kickoff return that was actually longer and Kyle Wilson returned an interception 71 yards for another score for the big-play Broncos, who beat their rivals for the 11th consecutive time.

Moore, the nation’s passing efficiency leader with 32 touchdowns and just three interceptions, passed Steve Young for 19th place on the Western Athletic Conference’s list for career touchdown passes. His 57th in two seasons was to Pettis early in the fourth quarter.

The go-go Broncos used a halfback pass, an interception return, a kickoff return and funky formations all for scores.

The Broncos came in averaging 59.4 points per home game against Idaho in five games this decade. The last three times the Broncos have played the Vandals in Boise, they’ve won 58-14, 70-35, 65-7 - and now this year’s runaway.

Idaho committed seven turnovers, six by fill-in quarterback Brian Reader. He threw five interceptions while starting for the second consecutive game for Nathan Enderle, who is second only to Moore and 10th nationally in passing efficiency.

Reader, who finished 17 for 27 for 305 yards and a touchdown, lost a fumble on his third play, setting up Pettis’ leaping touchdown catch over Kenneth Patten. Reader threw an interception on his second pass, which Boise State converted into a 25-yard touchdown from Moore to Young, behind a block by Pettis.

Pettis reached high for an 8-yard touchdown catch that made it 21-7 after one quarter. Moore was 9 for 10 for 101 yards and three touchdowns in the period.

Moore was 15 for 20 for 199 yards in the half, and Boise State had its most points in a half since Aug. 30, 2007, against Weber State.

No. 6 Boise State 52, Utah State 21November 20 - Romney Stadium - Logan, Utah

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Doug Martin ran for 121 yards and four touchdowns and No. 6 Boise State remained unbeaten and in BCS contention with a 52-21 victory over Utah State.

Jeremy Avery added 116 yards rushing and two touchdowns for the Broncos, who gained 243 yards and scored four TDs in the second quarter - two 43 seconds apart to break a 14-all tie.

Boise State added another touchdown barely 2 minutes into the third quarter and what was a close game for about 25 minutes turned into the rout it was expected to be.

Boise State’s Kellen Moore was a modest 15 for 29 for 233 yards with a touchdown, breaking a streak of six straight games with three of more touchdown passes. But he had enough help in the backfield that it didn’t matter.

The Broncos rushed for a season-high 323 yards and outgained the Aggies 572-363.

After Robert Turbin tied it at 14 on a 24-yard run for the Aggies with 6:28 left in the second, the Broncos drove 73 yards in four plays to retake the lead for good. Titus Young made a diving grab with a defender all over him for a 56-yard catch at the 2, where Martin easily ran it in for a 21-14 lead.

Then Utah State fumbled a handoff and Ryan Winterswyk recovered at the 9 for the Broncos and Avery scored on first down, putting the Broncos up 28-14 with 4:04 left in the quarter.

Being down two touchdowns at halftime would have been tolerable for the Aggies, but another defensive lapse late in the period allowed the Broncos to drive for a 1-yard touchdown by Martin with five seconds left in the half. The Aggies almost had Boise State stopped on third-and-10 with about a minute left, but Martin broke through for a 17-yard run to keep the drive going.

The Broncos opened the third quarter with a 71-yard drive, needing only four plays to score again on a 32-yard run by Avery to push their lead to 42-14.

November 27 - Bronco Stadium - Boise, Idaho BOISE, Idaho (AP) -Though Nevada threatened, there’s still no team in the WAC that can conquer Boise State. Perhaps the Broncos will meet their match in the BCS - if they get in. Kellen Moore tied his career high with five touchdown passes, three to fill-in fullback Dan Paul, and the No. 6 Broncos remained undefeated with a 44-33 victory over Nevada. With executives with the Sugar, Fiesta and Orange bowls watching - and hearing fans’ chants of ``BCS! BCS!’’ through the rain and cold - the Broncos withstood the Wolf Pack’s rally from 24 points down in the first half. Boise State, sixth in the latest BCS but far from a lock to earn a bid to the marquee bowls, led 34-26 entering the fourth quarter before Moore’s fifth scoring pass, to brother Kirby, clinched its 24th consecutive regular-season win. Vai Taua had 160 yards rushing on 24 carries for Nevada), which had averaged 52 points per game while winning eight straight. The Wolf Pack lost for the 10th consecutive time to Boise State. Doug Martin ran for 128 yards on 16 carries for the Broncos, who locked up at least a share of their seventh WAC championship in eight seasons. They have one more home date against lowly New Mexico State before BCS bids are announced next weekend.

Maybe the BCS should compute this: Boise State is 72-4 this decade. No. 4 TCU, which Poms will see play in person on Saturday, is primed for automatic inclusion in the big-bucks series as the highest ranked outsider. For most of the second half, Boise State’s third home loss in 64 games, its first defeat in 25 home games since the 2005 MPC Computer Bowl in Boise, and first home conference loss since 1998 - when the Broncos were in the small-time Big West - was a distinct possibility. Resilient Nevada absorbed a 95-yard touchdown return on the opening kickoff by Boise State’s Titus Young and being in a 27-3 hole after 20 minutes. The Wolf Pack closed within 27-19 in third quarter on a 37-yard field goal by Ricky Drake. The Broncos answered with a ground march to the Wolf Pack 21. That running was partly why tight end Tommy Gallarda was wide open in the middle of the field for Moore’s fourth touchdown pass, from 21 yards. Moore’s 37th TD throw of the season, against just three interceptions, extended his single-season school record. But on the next play from scrimmage, Taua, the leading runner on the NCAA’s first offense to have three 1,000-yard rushers in the same season, sprinted untouched down the right hashmark for a 71-yard touchdown. The Wolf Pack was back within 34-26 late in the third quarter. When replay officials overturned an official’s call and ruled Kirby Moore fumbled at the end of a catch, the entire Nevada roster was off the bench and jumping around on the field celebrating the game’s first turnover. The Wolf Pack had the ball near midfield with the chance to tie. But they went three-and-out to end the third quarter. Kyle Brotzman kicked a 27-yard field goal to put the Broncos up 37-26 with 10:55 left, before the clinching Moore-to-Moore connection.

2009 Boise State Postseason RecordsBroncos Rally to Win Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl

Boise State 34, Louisville 31

December 30, 1999 – Bronco Stadium – Boise, Idaho

“What a great day to be a Bronco!”

Head coach Dirk Koetter pretty much summed it up in his opening comments to the press after Boise State’s 34-31 upset victory over the Louisville Cardinals in the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl in front of 29,283 screaming fans at Bronco Stadium. The game, which featured 10 lead changes, was the first Division I-A bowl victory in the history of the school. Offense was the story early as the Broncos and Cardinals combined for 31 first-quarter points. Louisville started the scoring with a 40-yard field goal by Jon Hilbert which capped a nine-play, 50-yard drive

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

2009 Boise State Postseason RecordsBroncos Win Second Straight

Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl Boise State 38, UTEP 23

December 28, 2000 – Bronco Stadium – Boise, Idaho If Bart Hendricks hadn’t already etched his name into Bronco football lore, his performance in the 2000 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl made it a no-brainer. The senior quarterback earned the bowl’s Most Valuable Player honors by scoring three touchdowns and throwing for a fourth in leading Boise State to its second consecutive bowl win, 38-23 over Texas-El Paso. Hendricks’ biggest play of the game came just two minutes into the second half. With the Broncos holding a slim 17-10 lead, he turned a simple speed option play into a 77-yard touchdown run. Hendricks turned up field at the line of scrimmage, eluded a couple of UTEP defenders and then found a lane down the middle of the field. Three UTEP defenders never could catch Hendricks from behind, showing the

speed that helped make him the 1999 and 2000 Big West Conference Offensive Player of the Year. After UTEP added a late third-quarter field goal to cut the lead to 24-13, Hendricks and company expanded the lead thanks to the efforts of punter Jeff Edwards. Facing fourth-and-four at its own 37-yard line, Boise State faked a punt on the first play of the fourth quarter. Edwards took the snap, hesitated momentarily and then broke up field. He broke the tackle just before the first down marker, and then slipped outside for a 22-yard gain. One play later, tailback and 1999 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl MVP Brock Forsey pushed the score to 31-13, taking a sweep play 41 yards for a touchdown. In a matter of just 20 seconds, Boise State had gone from punting to UTEP and holding an 11-point lead, to being up by three scores and close to landing the knockout punch. The Miners responded on their next two possessions, marching 50 yards in seven plays to answer the Forsey touchdown with a field goal, cutting the lead to 31-16. Texas-El Paso’s defense held the Broncos on the following possession. It took UTEP’s offense nine plays to score, cutting the Bronco lead to 31-23 with 7:45 to play. The Miner defense again answered the call, holding Boise State on the ensuing possession and forcing Boise State’s seventh punt of the game. But Bronco safety Travis Burgher forced UTEP’s third turnover of the game, stripping the ball free on the Miner’s punt return. Davy Malaythong came off the bottom of the pile with the ball and Boise State was back in business. Boise State’s next touchdown was the reverse of what Bronco fans seen had throughout the last two seasons. This time it was Hendricks who came out of the backfield in a pass pattern after handing the ball off on a fake run. Wide receiver Andre Banks threw the ball back across the field and Hendricks made his first career reception. The touchdown covered 11 yards as Hendricks went up to take the ball away from a UTEP defender in the end zone and seal the Bronco win at 38-23. Hendricks ended the game, and his impressive Bronco career, with 247 passing yards, a touchdown pass and two rushing touchdowns, while fittingly making the final Boise State touchdown of the 2000 season on a reception.

2009 Boise State Postseason RecordsBroncos Complete Incredible Season with Victory

Over Iowa State in Crucial.com Humanitarian BowlBoise State 34, Iowa State 16

December 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.”

Season with Victory in the Inaugural PlainsCapital Fort Worth Bowl

Boise State 34, TCU 31December 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.

2009 Boise State Postseason RecordsBroncos Perfect Season Falls One Game Short in 44-40

Loss to Louisville in AutoZone Liberty BowlLouisville 44, Boise State 40

December 31, 2004 – Liberty Bowl – Memphis, Tennessee

Louisville snapped Boise State’s 22-game winning streak, which was the nation’s longest, in the highest-scoring game in Liberty Bowl history with a 44-40 victory. The Cardinals (11-1) won their third Liberty Bowl by handing the Broncos (11-1) their first loss since September 2003. Eric Shelton scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run with 6:48 left, as the eighth-ranked Cardinals held off the 10th-ranked Broncos on New Year’s Eve. The Broncos had one last chance to win after Art Carmody’s 19-yard field goal with 1:10 left put Louisville ahead by four. Quarterback Jared Zabransky drove the Broncos to the Louisville 30 before his final pass into the end zone was intercepted by Louisville safety Kerry Rhodes as time expired. Everyone expected a high-scoring game in a bowl pairing the nation’s top two offenses. The teams didn’t disappoint as they swapped the lead five times. The 84 combined points topped the 80

points by Colorado and Alabama in 1969 and was one of a handful of Liberty Bowl records set. Louisville won only for the second time in seven bowls despite a season-high four turnovers. The Cardinals rolled up 564 yards, topping 500 yards for the ninth time that season. This was the biggest game in school history for Boise State, a program that moved up to Division I-A in 1996. The Broncos, who played their first three bowls on the blue turf of Bronco Stadium, thought they could keep up with an offense that had trailed only Louisville for most yards and points in the country. But the Broncos, who lost 12 starters from their 2003 squad, finished with 284 yards offense, well below their 511.6-yard average. The teams still rewrote the Liberty Bowl record book. They combined for the most points in the first quarter with 24, and their 52 points were the most for the first half. Boise State kicker Tyler Jones had a record 48-yard field goal on the Broncos’ first drive, and Bronco linebacker Andy Avalos had a 92-yard interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter that bested the 79-yarder by Michael Jordan of Tulane in 1998. Boise State led as much as 34-21 early in the third quarter after scoring 24 straight points. The Cardinals settled down in the second half as quarterback Stefan LeFors drove them on an 81-play drive in eight plays, which he capped with a 14-yard TD toss to J.R. Russell. LeFors then gave Louisville the lead back at 35-34 when he ran in from a yard out with 2:17 left in the third. Boise State’s last lead was at 40-35 when Jon Helmandollar plunged in from 2 yards with 10:51 left. Zabransky finished the game completing 14-of-29 passes for 199 yards and one touchdown for the Broncos. T.J. Acree was Boise State’s top receiver with four catches for 57 yards and one score. Lee Marks led the Broncos rushing attack with 66 yards on 15 carries. Two Broncos were in double digits for tackles made with safety Cam Hall leading the team with 19 and rover Chris Carr adding 10.

It was nearly a comeback for the ages. Boise State’s second-half rally came up just short as the Broncos lost 27-21 to No. 19 Boston College in the MPC Computers Bowl in Bronco Stadium. Boston College’s Ryan Glasper picked off Bronco quarterback Jared Zabransky’s pass in the end zone with 40 seconds to play to salvage a win for the Eagles, who led 27-0 with 1:30 to play in the third quarter.

Boise State stormed back thanks to big plays. Zabransky found Drisan James with a 53-yard touchdown pass to pull the Broncos to within 27-7. The Broncos got the ball back when safety Marty Tadman picked off Matt Ryan at Boston College’s 33. The Broncos capitalized with a four-play drive for a touchdown that was capped by a Zabransky 2-yard touchdown run. Boise State crawled even closer after a big play on special teams. Quinton Jones returned a punt 92 yards for a score and Boise State was within a touchdown, 27-21. The Broncos got the chance to win the game with one final possession. Boise State drove to the Boston College 5-yard line after a fourth-and-nine conversion and a pass interference call on the Eagles. Zabransky found freshman Vinny Perretta for 32 yards on the fourth-and-nine to get the ball down to the Boston College 14. The Broncos’ drive and the hopes of continuing their 31-game home winning streak ended when Glasper picked off the pass. Jones finished the game with a school-record 151 punt return yards, and his 92-yard return for a touchdown tied the school record he set earlier in the season at Hawaii. Zabransky finished with 279 yards passing while completing 20-of-35 with one touchdown and two interceptions. Legedu Naanee had five catches for 52 yards, Perretta had a career-best four catches for a career-high 84 yards and Jerard Rabb and Jeff Carpenter had four catches each. Korey Hall led Boise State with 15 tackles, while Tadman had 11 tackles and an interception and Colt Brooks added 10 tackles.

Fiesta Bowl Victory over OklahomaBoise State 43, Oklahoma 42 (OT)

January 1, 2007 – University of Phoenix Stadium – Glendale, Arizona 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.

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.

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.
