How Boise State Runs Their Flood Route

Boise State was the darling of underdog teams everywhere last season when they beat traditional power Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. Down the stretch, the Broncos used a couple of gimmick plays to take advantage of the Sooners’ aggressiveness. While the plays worked in that game, Boise doesn’t have a gimmick offense. Head coach Chris Petersen has led this offense for years, first as offensive coordinator under Dan Hawkins. Upon being elevated to head coach, he turned a lot of the responsibility over to current Bronco OC Bryan Harsin. Last year the offense was as good as it has ever been and capped off the undefeated season with their exciting win in Tempe against the Sooners. But they protect their home blue ‘smurf’ turf the same way that every good team does … with good coaching, good players and a good scheme.
