Boise State Broncos Football – A Move That’s For The Best

Boise State University used to be represented in the WAC (Western Athletic Conference) by the Boise State Broncos. The Broncos were made famous by their 13-0 WAC championship in 2006. This was followed by their overtime win against the Oklahoma Sooners during the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. In 2009, The Broncos became the second college football team to end a season with a score of 14-0. In the succeeding 2010 Fiesta Bowl they defeated the TCU Horned Frogs, previously undefeated.

However, apparently caused by the rivalry between the team and the University of Idaho’s team, for the 2011 season, the Broncos are playing in the Mountain West Conference. The dispute apparently arose from the publication in the University of Idaho student newspaper. The publication was an editorial purporting to list good reasons for hating Boise state. But that apparently was just the match which lit up the pent up hostility which had brewing between the two universities, at least from the point of view of Boise State University President Bob Kustra.

Even if the issue about the controversial publication is all over the media and the internet, others think the reaction of the Boise president was not called for. Whoever may be right, one thing is certain. The Broncos won’t be competing against the Idaho team in the 2011 conference. But what is to prevent them from meeting up at the finals?

The Boise team holds the record for uninterrupted wins. All in all it has achieved 22 of these. Additionally, they have the greatest number of wins, totaling 14 in all, for one season. As well, they have the highest margin of points over the losing team in the first Division of the NCAA. This is their 74 point edge over Humboldt State

The team’s career records are impressive. Among these are the record of passing yards, held by Ryan Din Widdie with 9,819 all in all. The same person holds the top slot for passing touchdowns. The first place for rushing yards is held by Cedric Minter with a value of 4,457. The record for rushing touchdowns is retained by Ian Johnson who has a total of 58 of these to his name. Ryan Ikebe is on top for receiving yards, totaling 2,741 times.

Like wise the team has a number of single game records. The person with the most passing yards in one game for 2003 is Ryan Dinwiddie with 532. The person with the most passing touchdowns in one game in 1974 was Jim McMillan with 6. The person with the most all-purpose offense in one game is Brock Forsey in 2000 with 292. The team also had the highest points in one game in 2003 with 77 points versus San Jose State.

They also had several victories in Division I-A Bowl Game Appearances. In 1999 there was the Humanitarian Bowl. One year later in 2000 the same victory was repeated and then again in 2002. Another event that the team won a number of times is the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl of 2007 and 2010.

A number of their players have also been awarded with the title of All-Americans by Associated Press.
