The Boise State University football team plays college football as a member of the Western Athletic Conference. Known as the Broncos, the team plays their home games at Bronco Stadium on campus in Boise. It is one of the most identifiable fields in all of sports because, unlike other fields that are green in color, the field at Bronco Stadium is blue.
Building the Program
Slowly and steadily, the Broncos program began to build momentum and become an elite program. Among the players from their past includes: Ian Johnson, Randy Trautman, Jim McMillan, Chris Carr, Jared Zabransky, Jeb Putzier and Kimo von Oelhoffen.
Three Trick Plays Stun Oklahoma
Boise State had a magical season in 2006, and were extended an invitation to play in the Fiesta Bowl against Big 12 powerhouse Oklahoma. Trailing 35-28 and facing a 4th-and-18, the Broncos scored a touchdown on a hook and lateral pass play to send the game into overtime. After a quick score by the Sooners, Boise managed to get inside the five-yard line and scored on a halfback option pass. Trailing by one, they went for two and scored the conversion when Johnson took a handoff from Zabransky on a Statue of Liberty play to win the game.

2010 player to watch
In 2010 Sophomore OT Brenel Myers may be the next big thing to come from the Boise State Broncos football program. In the 2009 Fiesta Bowl Myers made just his second career start, and first career start at Tackle and he soundly handled TCU DE stud Jerry Hughes. He ha completed a strong spring with the football team, and looks to become a beast on the offensive line in the 2010 season.
