The 1982 Boise State Broncos football team represented Boise State University in the 1982 NCAA Division I-AA football season. The Broncos competed in the Big Sky Conference and played their home games on campus at Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho. The Broncos were led by seventh–year head coach Jim Criner, Boise State finished the season 8–3 overall and 4–3 in conference for fourth place.[1]
Entering the rivalry game with Idaho at Bronco Stadium on October 30, Boise State had a five–game winning streak over the Vandals.[2] Idaho won 24–17,[3] and the Broncos did not defeat the Vandals for over a decade, until 1994.
Two months after the season ended, Criner left for Iowa State University of the Big Eight Conference for an annual base salary of $58,000 for five years,[4] plus an estimated $92,000 per year of media and camp income.[5] Defensive coordinator Lyle Setencich was soon promoted to head coach in January 1983.[6][7]
