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).
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.
