Member of 1980 National Championship Team to Raise Blue Chaos Flag Saturday

BOISE, Idaho – Former Boise State defensive lineman Michel Borgeau, a member of the Broncos' 1980 National Championship team, will be raising the Blue Chaos Flag prior to kickoff against North Dakota Saturday morning.

Borgeau overcame two knee injuries to earn four letters from 1980 to 1983, accumulating 176 total tackles (59 solo, 117 assisted) for the Blue and Orange. He tallied 25 tackles for a total loss of 139 yards while recovering five fumbles, causing two QB hurries, one forced fumble and one pass deflection.

A two-time All-Big Sky Conference honoree (1981, 1983), Borgeau received honorable mention All-America honors by the Associated Press in 1981, when he totaled 57 tackles over seven games, before his first knee injury caused him to miss the final six games of the season.

He was credited with eight tackles for a loss of 55 yards his senior season with 52 total tackles on the year, prompting his selection for the 1983 Blue-Gray All-Star Game.

Borgeau went on to be selected in the 11^th Round of the 1984 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints with the 291^st pick overall. His professional prospects lay north of the border, however, as the Montreal, Quebec, Canada-native went on to play for the Ottawa Rough Riders and Edmonton Eskimos in the Canadian Football League.

Kickoff on Saturday against North Dakota is set for 10:03 a.m. with the game airing live on FS1 starting at 10 a.m.. Borgeau is slated to raise the Blue Chaos Flag at approximately 10:01 a.m.
