If he manages to match his 1,713 yards from his sophomore season he will pass Chris Thomas ( ) and Brock Forsey ( ) for second place. He trails Thomas by 853 yards and Forsey by 1,461 yards. Johnson would need 1,891 yards to pass Cedric Minter ( ) for the all-time rushing lead at Boise State. Johnson also ranks in the top 10 in rushing touchdowns (3rd), career touchdowns (6th), 100-yard games (6th) and scoring (10th) at Boise State. NCAA Active Leaders: Career Rushing Yards 1.

The school has developed a web site ( where up-to-date stats and highlights of the junior running back can be tracked. Johnson s chances at factoring in the Heisman Trophy race are good after he finished eighth in the voting last season as a sophomore. Johnson was the first Boise State player to ever crack the top 10 in Heisman voting. JOHNSON PLAYS BEST ON NATIONAL TELEVISION: No doubt, Ian Johnson made believers of ESPN an its viewers last season. In four games on the television network, the Bronco sophomore rushed for 715 yards and 14 touchdowns--an average of yards and 3.5 touchdowns per game. He added to his impressive national television numbers when he rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown against Oklahoma, who finished 16th in the nation against the run allowing less than 100 yards per game, in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl on Fox. He capped the performance on the national stage scoring the winning points on a two-point coversion in overtime. JOHNSON LOOKS TO JOIN WAC GREATS MARSHALL FAULK AND LADAINIAN TOMLINSON IN WAC RECORD BOOKS: If Ian Johnson s rushing and touchdown totals as a junior match those from his sophomore season, the Bronco running back will move into some elite company in the Western Athletic Conference career record books. Last season, Johnson gained 1,713 yards and scored 25 touchdowns. If he puts those numbers up again this year he will finish his junior season with 4,089 career rushing yards and 54 career touchdowns. Those numbers would rank Johnson fourth all-time in rushing behind TCU s LaDainian Tomlinson (5,263), Colorado State s Steve Bartalo (4,813) and San Diego State s Marshall Faulk (4,589), the only three running backs in league history to gain 4,000 career rushing yards. The 54 rushing touchdowns would rank Johnson in a second-place tie with Tomlinson, behind only Faulk s 57 career touchdowns. Faulk has 62 total touchdowns, scoring five nonrushing TDs. Johnson rushed for 81 yardss but couldn t find the end zone in Boise State s loss to Washington.

20 19th add/fact sheet: boise state vs. wyoming notes Boise State Head Coach - Chris Petersen In the history of college football, only one coach since 1900 has won 13 games in his first season at the helm of a Division I football team. That coach is Chris Petersen. Petersen, moving into his second season at the helm of the Bronco program, led Boise State to an undefeated 13-0 season, including a overtime win over Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl last season. Petersen also became the first Boise State coach to earn national coach of the year honors winning the 2006 Paul Bear Bryant Coach of the Year award. The award was only one of a number of honors Petersen received. He was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award, a semifinalist for the George Munger Coach of the Year Award and was the Region 4 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. The perfect season ended with Boise State ranked fifth in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and sixth in the USA Today Coaches Poll, the highest rankings for the Broncos in school history.

Under the guidance of the 42-year old Petersen, Boise State not only met team goals but his players received national and conference accolades during the drive to the BCS. Running back Ian Johnson became the school s first Division I first-team All- America pick when SI.com and CBS Sportsline.com tabbed the sophomore as one of two running backs on their respective teams. The Sporting News honored Johnson as a second-team All-America pick, and the Associated Press named Johnson third-team All-America. Sophomore offensive lineman Ryan Clady became just the fourth Bronco to earn second-team All-America honors when he was selected by SI.com. Johnson and Clady spearheaded a Bronco offense under Petersen that placed six players on the All-WAC first or second team and finished the season second the nation in scoring and rushing touchdowns, sixth in rushing and 10th in total offense. Not to be outdone, behind Petersen s leadership the Bronco defense sported the WAC Defensive Player of the Year in Korey Hall and placed three other players on the WAC first or second team, while finishing eighth in the nation in rushing defense, 14th in total defense and 20th in scoring defense. Boise State also led the WAC in rushing defense, pass efficiency defense, scoring defense and total defense. On special teams the team was honored with the first-team All-WAC kicker and secondteam All-WAC punter. A school-record four players were picked in the 2007 NFL Draft with Gerald Alexander going to the Detroit Lions in the second round, Legedu Naanee to the San Diego Chargers in the fifth round, Korey Hall to the Green Bay Packers in the sixth round and Derek Schouman to the Buffalo Bills in the seventh round. Honors and national rankings are nothing new to Petersen. As Boise State s offensive coordinator from , he was twice (2002 and 2004) a finalist for the Broyles Award, which honors the nation s top assistant coach. With Petersen as offensive coordinator Boise State sported one of the most balanced offenses in the country averaging 41.3 points per game, while also finishing as the nation s top scoring team twice (2002 and 2003). The Broncos also finished second (2004), eighth (2005) and 18th (2001) in scoring while Petersen was running the Broncos offense. As offensive coordinator, Petersen helped Boise State boast one of the most balanced offenses in the country. The Broncos finished in the top 15 in total offense four times, including three top10 finishes first in 2002, fourth in 2004 and seventh in The Broncos had four top 20 finishes in passing during that time, including a high ranking of fifth in The Broncos also ranked in the top 25 in the country in rushing in three of the last four season that Petersen served as offensive coordinator, including 14th in 2004 and 15th in Petersen also developed a pair of Bronco quarterbacks who have ranked among the nation s most successful and accurate passers. Ryan Dinwiddie ( ) finished as the NCAA career passing efficiency leader with a rating of Dinwiddie had a career-best rating in 2002 that would have set an NCAA single-season record if he played in one more game. He also had a rating in 2001 and a rating in 2003, both good enough for fourth in the country. With Petersen as his quarterback coach, as well as offensive coordinator, Dinwiddie led the Broncos to a 28-6 record as a starter. After Dinwiddie left, Petersen helped groom Zabransky into one of the most successful quarterbacks in college football history. The Bronco quarterback helped Boise State to three straight league titles, two undefeated regular seasons and a 32-5 record as a starter, including a 23-1 record in Western Athletic Conference games.

21 20th add/fact sheet: boise state vs. wyoming notes Petersen s players at Boise State have received multiple honors, both nationally and in the WAC, while he was the offensive coordinator. In five seasons leading the Broncos offense, Petersen had two players earn national All-America honors (running back Brock Forsey in 2002 and offensive tackle Daryn Colledge in 2004), while 12 Broncos earned first-team All-WAC honors and two (Dinwiddie in 2003 and Forsey in 2002) were named WAC Offensive Player of the Year. As offensive coordinator Petersen has seen four of his players drafted into the NFL, with Colledge picked in the second round in 2005, Forsey selected in the fifth round in 2002, offensive tackle Matt Hill going in the fifth round in 2001 and tight end Jeb Putzier picked in the sixth round in Petersen came to Boise State from the University of Oregon, where he joined the coaching staff in 1995 and immediately helped contribute to a passing attack that ranked among the nation s elite each of the six seasons he served as wide receivers coach. Twice during Petersen s stay at Oregon, offensive teams he was linked to broke the school record for single-season passing yards, and three times in the same time period the Ducks broke the single-season school record for most touchdowns. Prior to working at Oregon, Petersen served as the quarterbacks coach at Portland State University from , helping the Vikings advance to the NCAA Division II playoffs both seasons. In 1992, Petersen guided the quarterbacks at the University of Pittsburgh. That season, the Panthers established a school record for passing yards and ranked eighth nationally in total offense and passing. In addition, he contributed to the development of first-team All-Big East Conference quarterback Alex Van Pelt, who eclipsed the school s passing yardage totals previously held by Dan Marino. Petersen s success as a coach can be directly linked to a record-setting career as a quarterback at his alma mater, UC Davis. He was named the Northern California Athletic Conference Player of the Year as a senior and was the top rated Division II quarterback in the nation. Petersen received second-team Kodak Division II All-America honors and still holds the Division II record for career pass completions at 69.6 percent. Petersen was inducted into the school s athletic hall of fame in After receiving his bachelor s degree in Psychology from UC Davis in 1988, Petersen started his coaching career at Davis, serving as the head freshman coach in and the receivers coach from Petersen holds a master s degree in Educational Psychology from UC Davis. He and his wife, Barbara, are the parents of two sons, Jack (12) and Sam (9).
