.
and competed as an NAIA independent for two seasons. The Broncos were accepted into the NCAA
in October 1969, and a month later into the Big Sky Conference
, effective the following July. The Broncos began NCAA competition in 1970
in Division II ("College Division" prior to 1973) in a brand new Bronco Stadium
. In 1978, the Broncos and the Big Sky moved up to the new Division I-AA (renamed FCS in 2006) and BSU won its first national championship two years later
. In 1996, the Broncos joined the Big West Conference
and moved up to Division I-A (now FBS).
In three seasons under head coach Dirk Koetter
, the Broncos won two Big West championships and moved to the WAC in 2001
, when Dan Hawkins took over and guided the Broncos to four WAC titles in five seasons before handing the reins over to Chris Petersen
. Under Petersen, Boise State has recorded two undefeated seasons, three undefeated regular seasons, and reached the Bowl Championship Series
twice. The 2006
season was capped with a win over the Oklahoma Sooners
in the memorable 2007 Fiesta Bowl
, while the 2009 team
defeated Texas Christian
in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl
to finish the season 14–0. They were just the second team ever to go 14–0 in major college football history. The 2010 team
achieved their highest preseason ranking in history as the Associated Press ranked the Broncos as the 3rd best team in the country. That same offseason, Boise State accepted an invitation to join the Mountain West Conference
starting in 2011. Later in the 2010 season, Boise State achieved the highest rankings in its history, being voted in at #2 in both the AP Poll
and the Coaches' Poll, as well as earning the #3 slot in the first BCS
ranking.
Shortly after the 2010 season, the NCAA accused Boise State of a large number of athletic violations in five sports, including football. Due to the large number of violations, and the large number of sports the violations were committed in, the NCAA leveled the charge of "lack of institutional control". The Boise State football program was given three years probation. During this time, they are to receive a reduction of three scholarships a year, and a reduction in the number of practices permitted.
in the FCS has a red surface, the University of Central Arkansas
, also an FCS program, has a grey and purple striped surface and the University of New Haven
in Division II has a blue surface). As of November 12, 2012, the Broncos are 80–3 at home since the 1999 season with the only losses being to Washington State
in 2001, AP #18 Boston College in the 2005 MPC Computers Bowl
and to TCU
in 2011. They never lost a home conference game during their 10 years as a member of the WAC (40–0). The Broncos are 77–2 in regular season home games since 1999 and were on a 65 game regular season home winning streak until losing to TCU. Prior to the loss to TCU, Boise State had not lost a home conference game since the season finale in 1998 (47 in a row).
games.
. They played every year from 1971–2010 and with the exception of games from 2001–2004 the matchup was a conference game. The rivalry is dominated by streaks as Idaho won 12 stright years from 1982–1993 while Boise State has won the most recent 12 games between 1999–2010. With Boise State's move to the Mountain West Conference
in 2011, the future of the series is in doubt as they did not play during the 2011 season and currently are not scheduled to play in the 2012 season. Boise State leads the rivalry with a series record of 22–17–1.
. The series is 10–4 all time in favor of Boise State. In 2001, the series became a WAC match-up, christened with Boise State's upset over #8 Fresno State 35–30. In 2005, the series became the Battle for the Milk Can, and #20 Fresno State ended Boise State's 31-game winning streak against WAC opponents with their 27–7 victory. The series will continue to be a conference game in 2012 in the MWC but was played as a non-conference game in Fresno in 2011. The winner of the game receives the Milk Can
.
. Boise State leads the series 25–13. Boise State and Nevada have been conference rivals in the Big Sky Conference
, the Big West Conference
, the WAC, will continue in the Mountain West 2012. The series will be played as a non-conference game in 2011 as the teams will meet in Boise during Nevada's last year in the WAC. Nevada split the WAC championship with Boise State in 2005 as both teams finished 7–1 in conference play. Boise State beat Nevada on the last game of the season in 2006, giving Boise State a birth into their first BCS bowl. In 2007, in one of the highest scoring games in NCAA Division I football history, Boise State defeated Nevada 69–67 in four overtimes. Recently, the conference championship has been decided by the Wolf Pack and Broncos' late-season games. In 2010, Nevada defeated #3 Boise State 34–31 in overtime, ending the Broncos BCS National Championship hopes. The rivalry between the two schools felt as if it had been rekindled after Nevada's win, since Boise State had won the past 10 games dating back to 1998. Boise State and Nevada have played one time in the postseason in the 1990 I-AA semifinal. Nevada won the game in triple overtime 59–52, and would go on to lose in the final.
. Both teams have had recent success during the last decade, and have battled both on the field in very close games and off the field in the polls. Boise and TCU have met four times with three of the matchups coming in bowl games. The first game was in TCU's home stadium in the inaugural Fort Worth Bowl
(now the Armed Forces Bowl
) in 2003. #17 Boise State narrowly defeated #18 TCU 34–31. The second meeting was the 2008 Poinsettia Bowl
in San Diego, where #11 TCU came back to defeat undefeated #9 Boise State 17–16. In the biggest match-up to date, both teams were selected to a BCS
bowl and met in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl
in Glendale, Arizona
, where undefeated #6 Boise State defeated undefeated #4 TCU 17–10. In 2011, TCU won the only regular season meeting defeating #5 Boise State 36–35 at Bronco Stadium, snapping the Broncos 65 game regular season home winning streak and 47 game conference home winning streak. The series was intended to become an annual game when BSU joined TCU in the Mountain West Conference, but the conference game was only played once as TCU will leave the Mountain West to join the Big 12 Conference
in 2012 (TCU in the process reversed an earlier decision to join the Big East Conference
).
games per year) starting in 2012. Boise State is also allowed to schedule a fifth non-conference game in years where the team is playing in Hawaii
, due to a special NCAA rule.
In 2012, Boise State will play Colorado State
, Fresno State
, San Diego State
, and UNLV
at home. Hawaii
, Nevada
, New Mexico, and Wyoming
will be away games. In 2013, the schedule reverses with Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming being home games and Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and UNLV being away games. The Mountain West Conference
has more football teams than scheduled conference games, so each year Boise State will skip playing one fellow conference member. In 2012 and 2013, that team will be Air Force
. The Mountain West contemplated playing a full nine game conference schedule and may choose to go to that format beginning in 2014.
Boise State is scheduled to play BYU in football every year between 2012–23.
^ Ole Miss game will be in the Chick-fil-A College Kickoff
at the Georgia Dome
in Atlanta.

Bronco Stadium
Since 1970, Boise State has played its home games in Bronco Stadium, which enjoys a reputation as one of the most difficult places in the country for opposing teams to play. The stadium is well-known for its unusual blue playing surface, which was first installed in 1986. "The Blue," as it is called by fans, is the only non-green playing surface in the Football Bowl Subdivision and is one of the most distinguishing and enduring symbols of Boise State football. Boise State is one of four college football programs in the United States to have a non-green playing surface. (Eastern Washington UniversityEastern Washington University

In 2011, citing a "competitive advantage," the Mountain West Conference banned Boise State from wearing their all-blue uniforms for home conference games as a condition of joining the conference. When questioned about the ban, Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson confirmed that either the jerseys or pants could be blue, provided that the other be white or orange.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTpgox8IQjU#t=1m18sCurrent staff
