Rankings from The Sports Network poll

The 1995 Boise State Broncos football team represented Boise State University in the 1995 NCAA Division I-AA football season, their last season in Division I-AA. The Broncos competed in the Big Sky Conference and played their home games on campus at Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho. Led by third-year head coach Pokey Allen, Boise State finished the season 7–4 overall and 4–3 in conference, ranked 21st in the final regular season poll.[1]

This was Boise State's final season as a member of the Big Sky and Division I-AA; they began play in Division I-A in the Big West Conference in 1996.

Season[edit]

Coming off a successful previous season of 13–2 and the runner-up in the national championship,[2] BSU was ranked eighth in the preseason I-AA poll,[3] and climbed to third after an opening victory at Division I-A Utah State.[4][5] A three-game losing streak dropped them out of the poll by mid-season,[6] after wide-margin losses to Montana and Northern Arizona.[7][8]

After five consecutive wins, the Broncos climbed back to #16 prior to the regular season finale at rival Idaho,[9] whom they defeated the previous year in Boise to break a twelve-game losing streak in the series.[10] With a likely playoff berth on the line;[11][12] BSU lost by twenty in the Kibbie Dome to end their season in a four-way tied for second place.[13][14][15] Surging Idaho (6–4) was selected for the final at-large berth for the postseason,[16][17][18] but was matched against top-ranked McNeese State in southwest Louisiana and made a quick exit.[19][20][21]

Allen's cancer[edit]

Allen had been diagnosed in December 1994 with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of muscle cancer.[22][23] The tumor in his upper right arm was removed in March and he underwent extensive chemotherapy and a stem-cell transplant in July at the Fred Hutchinson Center in Seattle.[24] He returned to coach the Broncos while going through treatment, and the cancer was declared in remission in December 1995, but the doctors warned of likely recurrence.
