Boise’s Shot at History

By Joe Klein, Senior Staff Writer

Boise St. is at it’s best a couple weeks after a 17-10 upset victory in the Fiesta Bowl over #3 TCU. Led by Sophmore QB Kellen Moore, the Broncos went 14-0 and ended 4th in the BCS and AP Rankings. The Broncos averaged 460 yards and 27 ppg, and showed some defense in victories over TCU and Pac-10 Champion Oregon. They will return 21 of 22 starters (they will only miss a CB) and they should go unbeaten. Reported by ESPN, if the Broncos end in the top 2, they will go to the BCS National Championship. Originally, Boise St. was a stop for young coaches who went on to coach BCS caliber teams. Now, all that has changed. Coach Chris Petersen has signed a 5 year extension with the Broncos, with an option for 2016. That said, the Broncos will play Oregon St, and will also play Virginia Tech. Here is their 2010 schedule as of right now;
Week 1 vs. Toledo; Week 2 at Wyoming; Week 3 vs. Oregon St.; Week 4 vs. Virginia Tech
Expect a National Championship appearance.
