PrintThe Bronco seniors came to play and New Mexico was, well, sort of present, as Boise State completed the regular season with a 45-0 win over the Lobos. Kellen Moore threw for 300 yards and three scores, Doug Martin ran for 100 and two TDs, and the Bronco defense pitched a shutout, helping BSU move to 11-1 on the season and keep its BCS hopes alive.

Game recap
New Mexico is terrible. Boise State is excellent. Now about that BCS!
BCS bowls on everyone's mind
Now that the Broncos have dispatched the Lobos, attention turns to that fickle, mysterious BCS where nothing makes sense and anything is possible. And I do mean anything. Not even Chadd Cripe has things figured out beyond "Houston lost and Mike Patrick talks too much."
What we know: Boise State needs as few teams to be BCS eligible as possible in order for the Broncos to increase their odds at a BCS bowl.
What we don't know: Who is going to be BCS eligible.
If TCU gets to No. 16 tomorrow in the final rankings (the Horned Frogs are currently No. 18), they get an automatic berth. If Michigan gets to No. 14 (the Wolverines are currently No. 16), they will likely go to a BCS bowl. And that's as definitive as things get.
We will know more tomorrow. For now, feel free to discuss your theories, conspiracy and otherwise, in the comments. Oh, and you can talk about the New Mexico game, too.

What a special group of seniors
I’m so proud to be a Bronco fan thanks for everything guys.
Worth a plane ticket for a 36 hour trip to Boise?
Hell yes.
So glad to see Kellen and Co. one last time on the Blue. Thank you!

Also
The b-ball team is fun to watch and the cheerleaders look much better in their indoor uniforms

Stadium was packed, loud, and enthusiastic for our Senior Day
I’m real proud of how our fanbase has progressed. We had a packed house that was loud for a game against New Mexico on the coldest gameday of the year. Awesome job all, way to send this very special Senior class out right. They really cemented this program as a budding national power.

It was great to see Bronco Nation come out in full force tonight.

Nice job seniors(and team) , you have had an awesome run. Don't know if it can ever be matched.
Wish there had been a little more fanfare as the Seniors came off the field. On a side note, if anybody finds my frozen toes somewhere let me know.

If 2-loss TCU gets an auto bid...I'm going to puke
It was bad when they got our Rose Bowl spot on the rebound…but if another wide right field goal makes us miss a payday…I’m sick.
How is it that Boise State nearly got snubbed in 2009 when we were undefeated and now a 2-loss non-AQ…screw it…can’t talk about it any more.

TCU, is that you?
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they, too, have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.

Sad that I couldn't see Kellen's last game on the Blue
The Mtn. doesn’t get carried around my parts, so I’ve missed the last couple of games, other than highlights. Lame. I wish I could have seen the seniors in one more game at home, but I’m glad that they dominated. At least I’ll see everyone’s final game in the whatever bowl.
BSU at Rutgers or UConn? I am SO there.
Great game today...
So happy for the seniors. We love you!!
I’m hoping that TCU will not be moved up. I can’t imagine they would get enough points for that win over UNLV. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking.
sad thing is
it looked as though we struggled against UNLV…score was 48-21 whereas TCU throttled the same team =/
But yes… I hope TCU doesn’t move up either.
Thanks for an excellent four years, seniors.

What a day!!
Even the corn dogs were better than usual.
Shoe gets the Bronco TD catching record with 15 and Kellen gets the TD throwing record with 41 (beat his own record). Kellen also got the record for completions and was 28/33 (with 3 drops) – 85% completion rate. The house was packed but I was a little disappointed to see so many people gone at the half. No matter, it was a great day for the seniors and the team. Brad Elkin was bored until the very end and took a very high snap and just pounded the ball. I hope Mitch Burroughs is OK and QEB as well (what is it him with the knee? – hard to see the numbers from our seats.)
The junior tron operators need training – that is the most charitable way I can say it.
It was cold, but not as bad as last year where we were standing and sitting in snow.
Well done in every possible way, but it was great to see the D get a shutout!!

Saw Mitch entering training Facility as I exited the stands. He looked fine to me.

The Bulldogs had no answers, so they called timeout. And at that moment, every single person in the stadium knew that Georgia was in over its head. It was instant singularity of Boise State's greatness.

Dang - we might be #5 later today
and should be #4 since Stanford has the wuss scehduled and did not play, but #5 it should be. Let the BCS justify keeping the 5th best team our of a 10 team tournament.
Lets play Clemson – will be an orange orgy.
I love BSU
I love everything about our school. I love our players. I love our coaches. I love our program. I just love our Broncos. And it’s not homerism ( it is a little). If anyone paid attention, there’s no reason not to love what we’ve developed here in this great city and this great state. No matter where we end up in the bowl season and how much we get screwed, I LOVE BSU and I can’t wait to lay a beat down on who ever we play. Congratulations to our Seniors and all of our players on another fantastic season. Go Broncos.
