Moore Now #4 in Wins by a College Quarterback

Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore is now #5 in NCAA history for wins by a quarterback.  With Boise State's impressive 26-3 win over #20 Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl, Moore is 38-2 in his Boise State career.  I will be publishing much more on this subject in the days to come.


Here is the current top five:


1.  Colt McCoy of Texas was 45-8 from 2006-2009.
2.  Andy Dalton of TCU was 42-7 from 2007-2010.*
3.  David Greene ( Georgia ) was 42-10 (2001-2004)
4.  Kellen Moore of Boise State is 40-2 from 2008-current.*
5.  Peyton Manning was 39-6 from 1994-1997 for Tennessee .
6.  Ken Dorsey was 38-2 from the latter part of 1999 through 2002 for Miami of Florida.

Boise State Third Team Since 1898 With 3 Straight 12-Win Seasons

This one is amazing--the third team since 1898 to win 12 games in three consecutive seasons.  Pause and think about that.


Oklahoma (2002-2004) and USC (2003-2005) are the only ones besides Boise State to do that since the 19th century.  But Oklahoma and USC did not win as many games in those three years; of course last week I told you that Boise State had set the modern record for wins in a three year period.  They finished with 38 wins from 2008-2010.

Brotzman Breaks NCAA Scoring Record for Kickers

Boise State placekicker Kyle Brotzman is now the all-time NCAA scoring leader among kickers.  Brotzman scored eight points in Boise State's lopsided 26-3 win over #20 Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl, giving him 439 for his career.  Brotzman passed Art Carmody of Louisville, who had 433 points.  Brotzman finished his career as the #3 scorer in NCAA history.  He also is now #1 at Boise State with a career 44.6 punting average.

Boise State Sets Modern Records

Boise State became the third team since 1898 to win 12 or more games in three consecutive years, joining Oklahoma (2002-2004) and USC (2003-2005). However, the Sooners and Trojans did not win as many games in three years. Boise State broke the modern record last night with their 38th win since 2008 last night. The Broncos are behind four legendary teams from college football’s early years--Pennsylvania (43-1 from 1895-1897), Yale (42-1-2 from 1894-1896), Yale (41-2 from 1898-1890) and Pennsylvania (39-4 from 1892-1894). Coach Chris Petersen's team also broke the modern record for wins in a five-year period, as the Broncos are 61-5 since Petersen took over.  Nebraska (60-3 from 1993-1997) and Oklahoma (60-7 from 2002-2004) were the existing record holders until Boise State came along. Boise State also tied Nebraska’s modern record for most wins in a seven-year period. Nebraska was 81-8 from 1993-1999 while the Broncos were 81-10 from 2004-2010.


Boise State broke modern records last year for the most wins in an eight-year period and the most wins in a 10-year period. With the slew of marks this year, the Broncos now own the modern records for most wins in 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, 8 years, 10 years, 11 years and 12 years.

Broncos Send Strong Message to Pac-12

The Pac-10 Conference had a chance to look at a team it recently invited into the league, Utah, and one it passed over, Boise State.  They didn't like what they saw.

With Boise State's overpowering 26-3 win in the Las Vegas Bowl, the Broncos sent a message to the Pac-12 Conference that perhaps they made the wrong choice when they invited Utah earlier this year instead of Boise State.  Earlier this year, the Pac-10 added Utah and Colorado despite the fact that Boise State's football team and athletic department as a whole is more successful than the two members they did add.
