The Broncos enter the 2018 season coming off of a championship year with most of their key contributors returning. Since Harsin arrived in 2014, he has faced the expectations that come with being the head coach at Boise State, and nothing will change this year. Expectations in Boise, Idaho are as high as they have ever been since Kellen Moore donned the blue and orange.
The Broncos have everything you could ask for in a championship team: a senior starter at quarterback, a one thousand yard rusher, and a proven defense. The Broncos have had some good teams under Harsin; he has won two Mountain West Championships, a handful of games over power five teams, and a Fiesta Bowl.
