The Boise State Broncos football program represents Boise State University in college football and competes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) as a member of the Mountain West Conference. The Broncos play their home games on campus at Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho, and their head coach is Bryan Harsin. The program is 11–6 in bowl games since 1999, including a 3–0 record in the Fiesta Bowl.
Originally a junior college, Boise State first fielded a football team in 1933 under head coach Dusty Kline. That team compiled a record of 1–2–1.
Kline was succeeded by Max Eiden. Under Eiden, the Broncos posted a record of 17–23–1 from 1934 to 1939.
The Broncos posted records of 4–2, 3–4, and 2–4–2 in 1940, 1941 and 1946 under head coach Harry Jacoby. (The Broncos did not compete in football from 1942 to 1945 due to the events surrounding World War II).
After a year as an assistant, Lyle Smith was promoted to head football coach of Boise Junior College in 1947. Riding a 31-game winning streak in 1950, the team moved into a new 10,000-seat stadium. With the outbreak of the Korean War, Smith missed all but the first three games of the 1950 season and the entire 1951 season due to military duty. He returned in 1952 and was a leading candidate for the vacant job at his alma mater Idaho in 1954, but withdrew his name from consideration, content at Boise. Boise won thirteen conference titles in football under Smith and the NJCAA National Football Championship in 1958. Smith's final record is 156–26–6 (.846).
