WAC champion Broncos say aloha to Hawaii on ESPN2, Saturday

After playing their final game at Bronco Stadium last Saturday,

the Boise State Broncos will travel to Hawaii for the

much-anticipated conference showdown versus the Rainbow Warriors

8-4 (5-2) in the final regular season game of 2003. Boise State,

ranked 17th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ poll and 18th in

the AP poll, clinched its fourth conference title in the last five

years (two in the Big West) with its 56-3 victory over Nevada last

week. If Boise State beats Hawaii, it would be the first time since

1987-88 that a team finished with back-to-back 8-0 conference

records.

The Broncos’ win last Saturday was the ninth in a row,

extending their WAC winning streak to 17 games. The streak is the

second longest in the nation behind North Texas’ 18-game Sun

Belt Conference winning streak. The streak is also the third

longest in WAC history. Boise State has not lost a conference game

since losing at Louisiana Tech on Nov. 3, 2001. The record is 25

games set by Brigham Young from 1982-85. Arizona State had a

19-game winning streak (1969-71).

The Broncos have outscored their WAC opponents 823-253 during

the streak, an average score of 48.4-14.9. Last year, Boise State

set a WAC record by winning its eight league games by a 37.3-point

margin.
