Playboy's 2008 Top 50 College Football Rankings

« prev - home - next »

20. Boise State

Coach:
Chris Petersen begins his third season.

Last season:
10-3. Boise State lost to East Carolina in a wild 41-38 shoot-out in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl.

Studs: Running back Ian Johnson, who will always be remembered for his performance two years ago in BSU's upset win over Oklahoma, is now a senior. He's already a two-time All-WAC performer. A pair of Kyles, Wilson and Brotzman, are budding all-stars. Wilson is a defensive back, while Brotzman is the Broncos' punter and field-goal kicker.

Scoop: Petersen has an intriguing decision to make at quarterback. Go with talent and youth in hotshot freshman Kellen Moore or experience with senior Bush Hamdan? There are also some promising young runners to back up Johnson, but they're going to work behind an offensive line that starts three freshmen. Petersen is counting on his defense to be more stubborn this year.

Prediction: 9-3
