RECAPPINGTHE BOISE STATE 2009 SEASON

Although this was Boise State’s second best season that they had managed to participate in for four years, they were still not considered worthy of competing in the National Championships. 2009 season came with better rewards than 2008. You see, in 2008, Broncos went undefeated when they played in the regular season, but they did not even get a single chance to play in BCS bowl. However, Boise State got that chance to play in BCS in 2009 after they improved their upsets and toughened their schedule in major conferences. They did not waste their opportunity; rather, they won the Fiesta Bowl for the second time in four years.
Broncos’ game with Oregon in the season opener was probably Boise’s best. Oregon had been expected to fight for 2009 Pac 10 Title, so it shocked many people when Broncos won that game, even though they had proven themselves a challenge to the Ducks in the previous year in Eugene. The Ducks’ loss did not dampen their spirits though Boise State fought to defend their dominance with an awesome 19 – 8 win. Byron Hout’s post game punch for LeGarette Brout gave Boise State a clear path throughout the season.
Boise State then rolled easily in its next game, dominating Miami (OH) 48-0 on the smurf turf in Boise. Kellen Moore threw for 307 yards and four touchdowns in the win. The high scoring offense was still effective the following week in a 51-34 win over Fresno State. The Broncos were not seriously challenged in their next two games, either. A road trip to Bowling Green produced and easy 49-14 win against the nation’s best receiver, Freddie Barnes. Boise State also beat UC-Davis 34-16 before visiting a difficult Tulsa team.
Against Tulsa, they only led 18-14 at halftime before pulling away slightly with 10 straight second half points. Tulsa got within 28-21 early in the fourth quarter, but Boise State’s defense was able to stop the big plays and hold on for the win. It is the closest an opponent would come to beating the Broncos all season. It is also the last time Boise State was held under 40 points until the Fiesta Bowl against Texas Christian. The broncos rolled over Hawaii (54-9), San Jose State (45-7), Louisiana Tech (45-35), Idaho (63-25), Utah State (52-21), Nevada (44-33), and new Mexico State (42-7) to complete a 13-0 regular season. They were selected for their second BCS bowl in school history, and it was the first time ever that two non-BCS conference schools received bids.
The Broncos, however, could not keep up with their splendid performance against the big boys again. The match up against TCU in Fiesta Bowl ended in a 17-16 loss after re-matching the Poinsettia Bowl game from 2008 season. However, Boise State could not resist revenge. Brandyn Thompson made an interception at 51 yards to answer a touchdown. They were successful at completing a fake punt to secure two yard touchdown through Dough Martin. They won 17-10 against the Horned Frogs.
