Rankings from AP Poll

The 2011 Boise State Broncos football team represented Boise State University in the 2011 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Broncos were led by head coach Chris Petersen, winner of the 2010 Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award, and played their home games at Bronco Stadium. This season was Boise State's first in the Mountain West Conference after spending the previous ten years in the Western Athletic Conference. They finished the season 12–1, 6–1 Mountain West play to finish in second place. They were invited the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas for the second consecutive year where they defeated Arizona State 56–24.

Between 2008 and 2011, the Broncos went 50–3 to become the first team in FBS history to win 50 games in four years. With the 50–3 record, quarterback Kellen Moore set a new record for the most wins by a starting quarterback in FBS history, passing former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy (45 wins).

Previous season

The Broncos opened the season ranked #3 and #5 in the AP and coaches polls, respectively, by far the highest season starting ranking in school history and the highest starting position for a non-BCS team. They opened the season against #6/#10 Virginia Tech at FedExField in one of the nation's premier games of the opening weekend. They defeated the eventual ACC champions 33–30 on a game winning touchdown drive with less than two minutes to play. The Broncos would win their next nine games and climbed to #2 in the coaches, AP and Harris polls and #3 in the BCS poll for their highest ranking ever in all four polls. On November 26, #3 Boise State lost to their rival #19 Nevada in overtime after two missed field goals by Kyle Brotzman. The Broncos would repeat as conference champions, shared with Nevada and Hawaii with a 7–1 conference record. The conference title was the Broncos third straight and eighth in their ten-year history in the WAC. They were invited to the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas where they defeated Utah 26–3 to finish the season 12–1 and ranked #7/#9 in the coaches/AP polls.

All-blue uniform ban

Boise State was banned by the Mountain West Conference from wearing their traditional all-blue uniforms during conference home games. MW commissioner Craig Thompson's reason for the rule was that coaches had stated that the Broncos received a "competitive advantage" when wearing all blue on the blue turf of Bronco Stadium. Boise State head coach Chris Petersen was quoted that he thought the ban was "ridiculous".[19]

Preseason polls

On August 3, Boise State was ranked #7 in the preseason USA Today Coaches' Poll, receiving 1,065 points.[20] Their season opening opponent, Georgia, will start the year ranked #22 making this the third straight season Boise State will open the year against a ranked team from a BCS conference. Boise State won the previous two (Oregon and Virginia Tech).

On August 20, Boise State was ranked #5 in the preseason AP Poll, receiving 1,200 points including 2 first place votes.

Boise State was set to play Utah in Boise in 2011, with games in 2012 and 2013 also scheduled. However, due to their move to the Pac-12, where they will play nine conference games, and their desire to continue their rivalry with former conference member and newly independent BYU, Utah bought their way out of the series.[21] Boise State replaced Utah with Fresno State and Nevada[22] as both schools were also looking for another game due to having one less conference game due to Boise State's departure from the WAC. Fresno State and Nevada will become conference games again in 2012 as they will join the Mountain West.

Locations for Mountain West Conference games were announced on November 4, 2010.[23]

Boise State was scheduled to open the 2011 season at Mississippi, however, on November 20, 2010 they announced they would open the season against Georgia in the 2011 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta.[24] Their meeting with Mississippi will be pushed back to 2014 also in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.

On January 25, Boise State's conference game with TCU, which was originally scheduled to be played in Fort Worth, was moved to Boise.[25] The move was due in part to TCU announcing they would be leaving for the Big East Conference in 2012 (they ultimately went to the Big 12 instead). To accommodate the change, the Broncos will now play San Diego State in San Diego instead of Boise.

The Mountain West released dates for conference games on March 3, 2011.

On March 21, as part of the WAC's TV contract with ESPN, it was announced that the game at Fresno State will be moved to Friday, October 7 to be broadcast on ESPN. This will be the 11th straight year the Battle for the Milk Can will be broadcast on the ESPN family of networks.[26]

On April 7, the Mountain West announced times and TV for all conference and home MW games.[27]

For the first time in 40 years, Boise State will not play their in-state rival Idaho and currently have no future matchups scheduled.

Boise State opened the season with a win against a top 20 (AP poll) team from a BCS conference for the third straight year with their 35–21 win in the fourth annual Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. Georgia got on the board first with an 80-yard touchdown run by Brandon Boykin, which was his first career offensive play. Boise State tie the game up later in the first quarter when Kellen Moore found freshman wide receiver Matt Miller for a 17-yard touchdown. The TD pass was Moore's 100th career touchdown pass. 48 seconds before halftime, Boise State would take the lead when Moore connected on his second touchdown pass, this time from 12 yards out to tight end Kyle Efaw to give the Broncos a 14–7 halftime lead. Boise State increased their lead in the third quarter with a 7-yard touchdown run by Doug Martin and Moore's third touchdown pass of 3 yards to Tyler Shoemaker for a 28–7 lead. After Boise State was penalized for being offsides on a fourth and seven during a punt, Georgia went for it on fourth and two and scored on a 36-yard touchdown to Orson Charles from Aaron Murray to cut into the lead at the end of the third quarter. The Broncos drove the ball 76 yards on their last scoring drive, capped off by a 1-yard D.J. Harper touchdown run. Another long Georgia touchdown from 51 yards out brought the scoring to an end and the Broncos would leave Atlanta with their first ever win against a team from the SEC (previously 0–4). Kellen Moore is now 5–0 in his career against BCS teams. The Bronco defense finished with six sacks, 2.5 by Shea McClellin, and one interception by Jerrell Gavins.

Uniform combination: blue helmet, white jersey, orange pants.

Kellen Moore completed a career high 32 passes to nine different receivers for 455 yards and five touchdowns as the Broncos rolled to a 40–15 win over preseason MAC favorite Toledo. After forcing the Broncos to punt on their first possession, Toledo took and early lead on a 24-yard touchdown pass to go up 6–0 (pat failed). The Broncos would answer on Moore's first TD pass of the night from 26 yards out to Tyler Shoemaker. His second TD pass of the night came on the Broncos next possession when Doug Martin took a screen pass 71 yards for a 13–6 Bronco lead at the end of the first quarter. After trading punts throughout the second quarter, the Broncos would put together a 7-play, 64-yard drive in only 1:05, capped off with a 1-yard TD pass from Moore to Shoemaker, to score with 17 seconds before halftime. A kickoff out of bounds gave the Rockets great field possession and managed a 35-yard field goal and cut the Bronco lead to 20–9 at the half. In the third quarter, Toledo looked like they were going to keep the game close as they drove to the Bronco's 11-yard line. However, Shae McClellin tipped a Rocket pass that was intercepted by Chase Baker to end the Toledo hopes. The Broncos followed by marching 88 yards, capped off with Moore's fourth TD pass to Kyle Efaw, to take a 27–9 lead. Toledo's last chance to get back into the game came when Moore was intercepted and the Rockets drove to the six-yard line. However, the Broncos forced a fumble that was recovered by J.C. Percy. Moore would add another TD pass to Shoemaker for 17 yards later in the 4th to put the Broncos up 33–9. Toledo would score quick to make it 33–15 but the Broncos would milk the clock with their second string and add a final touchdown by Drew Wright for a final score of 40–15.

Boise State dominated Tulsa in rout to their 350th regular season win in school history. After stalling inside the 5-yard line on the first drive of the game, the Broncos would control the rest of the first half with three Kellen Moore touchdown passes, two to Tyler Shoemaker, and a 33-yard Doug Martin touchdown run to give the Broncos a 27–0 lead at halftime. Kellen Moore would only play one series in the second half, but it was long enough to add a fourth touchdown pass, this time to Mitch Burroughs. The Tulsa offense was able to drive the field on the Bronco defense pretty consistently in the second half, scoring three touchdowns. But backup quarterback Joe Southwick was able to keep the Broncos lead out of reach with a touchdown pass to Gabe Linehan, the Broncos fifth touchdown threw the air on the night. The Bronco defense recorded four interceptions of Tulsa quarterback G.J. Kinnie, two by Jerrell Gavins.

Boise State avenged their only loss from the 2010 season in dominating fashion with a 30–10 win over their rival Nevada. Kellen Moore had one of his worst days of his career statistically with only 142 yards and two interceptions, but he also managed two touchdowns on 19 completions. Doug Martin did the rest of the damage running the ball 21 times for 126 yards and two touchdowns. His second touchdown was a 43 yarder at the beginning of the 3rd quarter to put the Broncos up 27–0. The Bronco defense completely shut down the powerful pistol attack of the Wolf Pack, holding Nevada to only 59 yards rushing. 53 of Nevada's 182 total yards came on a late touchdown with less than one minute to play. Boise State attempted and made their first field goal of the season, a 31 yarder from freshman Dan Goodale.

In their first conference game as a member of the Mountain West, Boise State took no time announcing their presence by setting a school record for total yards in a blowout win over Colorado State. Doug Martin would start the scoring for the Broncos with rushing touchdowns from 26 and 65 yards.

Harper scored on a 36-yard run and Kellen Moore found his brother Kirby from 9 yards out to extend the lead to 35–0. Colorado State went to their bag of tricks and scored on two touchdown passes by a wide receiver and a running back to cut into the lead 35–13 at the half. The Rams looked to seize momentum by holding the Broncos to a 3-and-out on their first possession. However, the Broncos would fake the punt with a 37-yard run by Tyler Shoemaker and score on Doug Martin's 3rd TD run from 14 yards just three plays later. Boise State would add three more 3rd-quarter touchdowns with 2 Kellen Moore TD passes, including one to Shoemaker of 62 yards, and a D.J. Harpter TD run. Boise State set a school record with 742 total yards and outgained the Rams by 511 yards. The Bronco defense recorded seven tackles for loss with three sacks, two by Tyrone Crawford who also recovered a fumble. Shae McClellin had an interception.

Harper, replacing injured starting running back Doug Martin, went 49 yards on two plays and scored on a 15-yard rush to give the Broncos a 41–14 lead. Both teams traded touchdowns by the second teamers for a final of 48–21. This was Kellen Moore's 46th win, setting a new record for most wins by an NCAA quarterback and surpassing the previous mark set by former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy.

4th meeting. 2–1 all time. Last meeting 2009 season, 17–10 Broncos win in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl. This is the first time they have met in the regular season as all three previous meetings have been in bowl games.

Uniform combination: white helmets, orange jersey, orange pants.

For the second year in a row Boise State's BCS fate was decided by a field goal as #24 TCU knocked off the Broncos when Dan Goodale's final second field goal sailed wide right to give the Horned Frogs a 36–35 win. The Broncos came out fast scoring just four minutes into the game when Kellen Moore found Matt Miller for a 22-yard touchdown. TCU would answer by going deep, first with a 74-yard touchdown pass from Casey Pachall to Josh Boyce, then Pachall found Brandon Carter for a 75-yard touchdown. D.J. Harper would tie the game with a 17-yard touchdown run before Pachall went deep again to Boyce, this time from 69 yards out (PAT failed) for a 20–14 TCU lead at the half. It was the first time the Broncos had trailed at halftime since the 2007 Hawaii Bowl. The lead for TCU did not last for long as Bronco defensive end Tyrone Crawford returned a fumble for a touchdown on the Horned Frogs first play of the second half. Seven minutes later D.J. Harper added his second touchdown run, this time from three yards out for a 28–20 Bronco lead. TCU marched 86 yards, capped off with a Josh Boyce 3-yard touchdown reception, and tied the game after a two-point conversion when Pachall dove for the endzone, just barely breaking the plane. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Kellen Moore connected with Dallas Burroughs for a 54-yard touchdown to put the Broncos up 35–28. Both teams traded punts throughout the fourth before the Broncos got the ball back with 5:37 left. The Broncos ran the clock down to 2:26 before backup running back Drew Wright, playing due to injuries to both Doug Martin and D.J. Harper, fumbled giving TCU the ball at the 27-yard line. Casey Pachall methodically marched the Horned Frogs down the field and found Brandon Carter for a 25-yard touchdown. TCU chose to go for two where Pachall found Boyce on a pass toward the sideline. The Bronco defender went for the interception and missed letting Boyce walk in for the 36–35 lead. After a kickoff out of bounds and a TCU holding penalty, the Broncos where on the 50 with 1:05 to play. After 3 straight incompletions, TCU was controversially flagged for pass interference on fourth down. Two Kellen Moore completions moved the Broncos to the 22-yard line with 21 seconds to play and they had a timeout. They chose to move the ball to the middle of the field to set up a 39-yard field goal which Dan Goodale pushed right. The loss ended the Broncos 65 game regular season home winning streak and 47 game conference home winning streak. Both streaks where the longest ever streaks in the FBS era (since 1978).[34] The loss also ended the longest overall home winning streak at 35.
