BOISE, Idaho - Today marks the official beginning to the 2013 Boise State football season, with the Broncos opening fall camp. The veterans will practice in the morning, and newcomers and select veterans will practice in the afternoon.
Tomorrow BroncoSports.com will unveil a new series: #BroncoFootball 25 Days of Fall Camp.
Every morning, a new post will include the team's schedule for the day and statistical information corresponding to the day of the countdown. Check back throughout the day for video interviews, practice photo galleries and a look back at former Broncos.
Whenever something new is added to the page, it will be announced on Twitter. So if you aren't already, follow @BroncoSportsFB, or simply check back throughout the day.
Though the series doesn't officially begin until tomorrow, here is a bit of a preview as to what you will find:
FACTS RELATING TO #26...
...Boise State has given up just 26 sacks the last three seasons, fewer than 46 teams allowed in 2012 alone.
Boise State is one of only two schools to rank in the top 10 nationally in sacks allowed each of the last three seasons. The Broncos led the country in the statistical category in 2011, allowing 0.62 sacks per game. Boise State was also third-nationally in 2010 (0.62) and sixth-nationally in 2012 (0.77).
The Broncos have averaged just 0.67 sacks allowed per game the last three seasons, second only to Air Force (0.59) during that time. However, the Broncos threw the ball 1,295 times, compared to just 523 attempts for the Falcons.
...Brock Forsey set the school record with 26 rushing touchdowns in 2002.
Following the season, he was selected in the sixth round of the National Football League Draft by the Chicago Bears, the first Bronco running back to be drafted since Jon Francis in 1986 (New York Giants; Seventh Round).
