The Boise State–Idaho football rivalry is a college football rivalry between the Broncos of Boise State University and Vandals of the University of Idaho in Moscow, the only two Division I FBS programs in the state of Idaho. The game was played annually 1971–2010, and with the exception of the 2001–04 games, the rivalry was a conference game (Big Sky 1971–95, Big West 1996–2000, and WAC 2005–10). Boise State moved from the WAC to the Mountain West Conference in 2011 and the rivalry went on hiatus, with no future games currently scheduled. The teams have played for the Governor's Trophy since 2001, won by BSU every year. In 2009, the game was televised nationally for the first time on ESPNU from Bronco Stadium in Boise. The 40th game in the rivalry in 2010 was televised live in prime time on ESPN2 on Friday, November 12 from the Kibbie Dome in Moscow.〔(Go Vandals.com ) - Vandals announce 2010 football schedule - 2010-03-22〕 ==First games== The first meeting was in 1971, a season-opening night game at the year-old Bronco Stadium in Boise on September 11. The game was originally scheduled to be played in Moscow, but due to inclement weather in the spring, the Vandals' new stadium was a month behind schedule. Idaho rented BSU's stadium and was the "home" team,〔 but the "visiting" Broncos built a 28–7 lead at halftime and pulled off a convincing 42–14 upset before 16,123 for an instant rivalry.〔〔 Tony Knap's Broncos went 10–2 in 1971 and won the Camellia Bowl, but their two losses were both in conference. Idaho went 8–3 for the best record to date in school history; Don Robbins' 1971 Vandals were Big Sky champions, won eight consecutive games, and had three players selected in the 1972 NFL Draft. The second game was played at the end of the 1972 season, again in Boise before 14,516 on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The Vandals took a 7–0 halftime lead but Boise State responded in the third quarter with three touchdowns. Idaho returned an interception 75 yards for a touchdown and the Vandal freshman back-up quarterback ran for a touchdown with three minutes remaining to pull within a point; another run on the two-point conversion gave Idaho the win and evened the series at a game each. It was the first Big Sky home loss for the Broncos, who dropped to 7–4. Idaho finished 1972 at 4–7. Bronco Stadium was expanded after the 1974 season and had the highest seating capacity in the Big Sky Conference. The rivalry contests with Idaho in Boise from 1976 to 1994 were the conferences' highest-attended games for those seasons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boise State–Idaho football rivalry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
