🔷 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF

12 days until kickoff, Bronco Nation!

Boise State legend Jim McMillan quarterbacked the Broncos from 1972-74. No. 12 left Boise State as the school's career record holder in career passing yards (5,508), career passing touchdowns (58) and total offense (6,115). All three marks stood until Tony Hilde (1993-96) broke them more than two decades later, and all three marks still rank amongst the Broncos' all-time top 10.
