After that 2001 Washington State loss, you have to go all the way back to the opening game of the 1997 season, Boise State’s second year as a Division I-A program, to find a home loss as bad as the one Virginia inflicted. That year, Cal State Northridge pasted the Broncos 63–23 in Boise, only to later forfeit the win for using three ineligible players. Boise State’s coach that year? Houston Nutt, making a one-year stopover out west before taking the Arkansas job.
