Boise State Breaks Nebraska Record for Wins in a 7-Year Period

Move over, Cornhuskers!

With Boise State's 12-1 season last year, the Broncos relegated Nebraska to the title of former modern record holder for the most college football wins in a seven-year period.  Nebraska held the record for 12 years, as the Cornhuskers amassed a record of 81-8 from 1993 to 1999.  But now Coach Chris Petersen's team holds the mark at 82-10.


Boise State was 9-4 in 2005, 13-0 in 2006, 10-3 in 2007, 12-1 in 2008, 14-0 in 2009, 12-1 in 2010 and 12-1 again last season.


We're going to need a book pretty soon to hold all of the modern NCAA records that Boise State holds.

Boise State: The Only Modern College Football Team to Win 12 Games Four Years in a Row

Boise State set yet another modern record last year when they became the only college football team since the 19th century to win 12 or more games four years in a row.


The Broncos were tied with Oklahoma (2002-2004) and USC (2003-2005) with three such seasons until the Broncos went 12-1 with a 56-24 victory over Arizona State.  Boise State thus became the champion of 12-win seasons in the last 112 years.  Boise State has now set numerous modern NCAA records, which I will be detailing in the days to come as we get ready for Spring Football.
