11 days until kickoff, Bronco Nation!

From 2008-2011, Boise State football became the first team in FBS history to win 50 games in four years, and much of that is thanks to the elite quarterback play from Bronco legend, Kellen Moore. No. 11 still holds the record for wins by a quarterback, having lost only three games in his entire collegiate career. He saved his best for last, passing for 3,800 yards and 43 touchdowns in his senior season as he helped the Broncos beat Arizona State in the Maaco Bowl to reach the 50-win mark.
