NCAAF Boise State Broncos

Team History

The Boise State Broncos are a Division I FBS Football team based in Boise, Idaho. Initially founded in 1933 as Boise State Junior College, the Broncos have an overall record of 476–178–2.

From 1933 until 1969, Boise State was a junior college, and fielded a very successful football program, winning 13 conference titles and capturing the 1958 NJCAA National Championship.

Their winning pedigree is largely what helped them elevate to university status and join the NCAA in 1970.

After the 1970s

The Broncos team stats continued to flourish at the Division II and Division I-AA (now Division I FCS) levels throughout the 1970s and 1980s, eventually capturing a 1-AA National Championship in 1980. The program went four decades without a losing season until 1986.

That became a memorable year for the program, as it was the first season that their stadium (then called Bronco Stadium) had their now-famous Blue Turf installed. Before this, all Football fields in every level was traditionally green, whether they used grass or Astroturf. This eventually led to other programs coloring their fields three decades later, but the trend started with Boise State.

Boise State has continued to field a strong program for the last several decades. Since officially earning Division I-A (now FBS) status in 1996, the Broncos have won 14 conference titles, five division titles, and 20 bowl game appearances, with three BCS bowl games.

With wins in the 2006 and 2009 Fiesta Bowls, Boise State finished both seasons undefeated, and claimed itself National Champions despite not reaching the BCS National Title game in those years.
