Good morning, Bronco Nation! Every season during fall camp, Boise State Football undergoes an Inferno Day.  During Inferno Day, the team practices inside the Caven-Williams Indoor Facility where the heat is cranked up to the max. The idea is to simulate above-average temperatures that the team is likely to experience early in the season.
