After a four-year run our seniors are at 49-3 (94% winning percentage).  They are playing tonight in the Maaco Bowl in Las Vegas and we hope to extend that record to 50-3.
Our quarterback, Kellen Moore has the highest percentages in college football but gets overlooked because he plays for a smaller university in Boise, Idaho.  We hope you will all tune in to ESPN tonight at 6 pm Mountain Standard Time and watch a great game with Arizona State University.
Thanks for the great games you have shared with us, the fans. Go Boise State!
