The 1977 Boise State Broncos football team represented Boise State University in the 1977 NCAA Division II football season. The Broncos competed in the Big Sky Conference and played their home games on campus at Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho. Led by second-year head coach Jim Criner, the Broncos were 9–2 overall and 6–0 in conference to win the Big Sky title, their fourth in five years.
This was the final season for BSU football in Division II; the Big Sky was in Division I for its other sports and joined the newly created Division I-AA in 1978.[1]
Because of their regular season ending on November 26, Boise State could not participate in the eight-team Division II playoffs, which began earlier that day. Big Sky runner-up Northern Arizona took the berth but suffered a 35-point shutout loss at home.[2][3][4]
