Four months after he announced he was transferring away from Boise State, Hank Bachmeier has landed at Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs, which play in Conference USA, went 3-9 last season, the first under head coach Sonny Cumbie. Its starting quarterback, fr eshman Landry Lyddy, entered the transfer portal just over a week ago. "I wanted to play in the Air Raid and in a pass-friendly offense," Bachmeier told ESPN. "I think Coach Cumbie and his track record are a great fit. It's an offense that any quarterbac k would want to play in." As many remember, Bachmeier hit the transfer portal after four treacherous games to start his senior season.The Broncos' four-year starting quarterback turned the ball over three times in the opener against Oregon State a nd was benched for Taylen Green. Then a few weeks later, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound former four-star recruit completed less than 40% of his passes in an embarrassing loss at UTEP. Offensive coordinator Tim Plough was fired the next day and Bachmeier was in the transfer portal not long after. Bachmeier, who will head to Louisiana Tech with two years of eligibility remaining, came to Boise State in 2019 as the highest-ranked quarterback recruit to ever sign with a Mountain West school. - Idaho Press

Former Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier is heading to the Bayou State to finish his college football career. Bachmeier told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Wednesday that he's going to Louisiana Tech, a Conference USA school. He has two years of eligibility remaining. The four-year starter for the Broncos announced he was transferring last September, not long after Boise State lost to major underdog UTEP and offensive coordinator Tim Plough was fired.PM Bachmeier said he picked the program in Ruston, Louisiana, in part because of head coach Sonny Cumbie's Air Raid scheme on offense. The system routinely produced quarterbacks who passed for more than 4,000 yards a season when he was the offensive coordinator at Texas Tech. The native of Murrieta, Cal ifornia, won the starting job all four years he was at Boise State. He went 20-9 as the starter and ranks in the top 10 in program history in career passing yards (6,605, No. 7) and touchdown passes (41, No. 7). Louisiana Tech finished 10th in its 11-tea m league last season, going 3-9 overall and 2-6 in C-USA play. - Idaho Statesman

Although action doesn't officially start until Monday, among the reported quarterbacks in, or planning to be to enter the transfer portal as of Dec. 1 is Boise State's Hank Bachmeier: He was a three-year starter for the Broncos who decided in September t his season to move on. He is most definitely not a dual-threat guy. Bachmeier finished his time at Boise with 6,605 passing yards and 41 TDs but also 19 interceptions from 2019-22. He battled through injuries and played behind an underperforming offensiv e line. Any team looking for a pass-first quarterback figures to at least have at least a modicum of interest in Bachmeier, who has seasons of eligibility remaining. - NFL Draft Scout and online sources

Boise State fired offensive coordinator Tim Plough on Saturday and replaced him with former college and NFL head coach Dirk Koetter for the rest of the season. Boise State head coach Andy Avalos announced the change after the Broncos were stunned in a 27 -10 loss to UTEP on Friday night. Long known for its offensive ingenuity and scoring points, the Broncos (2-2) have struggled on that side of the ball, even in their two victories. Koetter has been working as an analyst for the Broncos. "This was a diffi cult decision, but I believe it is in the best interest of our program," Avalos said. "Our team goals are still in front of us and we are focused on working to accomplish them. Tim is a good football coach and I have no doubt he will continue to positive ly impact the young men he works with in the future." Koetter was Boise State's head coach from 1998-2000 and was 26-10 in his tenure with the Broncos.His time at Boise State set the stage for the growth of the program that took place first under Dan Hawkins and then with Chris Petersen in charge. Koetter left Boise State for Arizona State where he was the head coach for six seasons and led the Sun Devils to four bowl appearances. Koetter went on to a long career in the NFL that included three se asons as the head coach in Tampa Bay where the Bucs went 19-29. He was also an offensive coordinator with Jacksonville, Atlanta twice and Tampa Bay. Plough joined Boise State in January 2021 from UC Davis where he had served as offensive coordinator and associate head coach. - AP College Football

The Boise State defense held the Lobos (1-1, 0-1) to 123 total yards, with more than half of that coming on Geordon Porter's 69-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarte r. Through three quarters, New Mexico had 48 total yards. The Broncos led 10-0 at halftime before scoring three touchdowns in the second half, including one on a blocked punt. New Mexico's other fourth-quarter score came on Christian Washington's 100-yar d kickoff return. - Boise State/AP College Football

Wyoming is expecting a down year this season, but they are looking forward to good play at quarterback. Senior Hank bachmeier is consistent and plays with poise. He is one of only five returning MW signal-callers that started the majority of their team's games last season. Bachmeier didn't put up as gaudy of numbers as Utah State's Logan Bonner or Fresno State's Jake Haener, who led top-15 passing attacks last season, but his third year as a starter was plenty productive. The former four-star recruit pa ssed for 3,079 yards and 20 touchdowns, while throwing eight interceptions and posting a 62.8% completion percentage. - Wyoming Tribune Eagle

Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier has met quite of few of his sports idols during his college career. Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott, who has spoken to the team twice during Bachmeier's career, and Bo Jackson top his list, but he said meeting Denver Bron cos quarterback Russell Wilson on Monday ranks right up there. "It was a big honor for all of us quarterbacks to speak to him and be around a true professional," Bachmeier told the Idaho Statesman. "I was pretty star-struck. I took a lot of his words to heart, and the biggest thing I took away was how intentional and deliberate he was in everything he did." Wilson - a nine-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion with the Seattle Seahawks, who traded him to Denver in March - was in Boise for an event wit h Alaska Airlines.Between appearances, he took time to meet with Boise State's quarterbacks and speak to a group of players and coaches. "He was big on what he let himself consume in terms of social media and the external influences that can kind of affect you," Bachmeier said, "and he talked about speaking a championship language to yourself." Bachmeier said one of the most impressive things about Wilson's career is how much he's accomplished despite those who doubted him. The 5-foot-11 All-Pro was the shortest one in a group picture he took with the quarterbacks, especially when compared to 6-foot-6 redshirt freshman Taylen Green. - Idaho Statesman

Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier will be on the field when the Broncos have the first of their 15 spring practices on Friday, but he'll take part in a limited capacity, Boise State coach Andy Avalos said Thursday. Bachmeier is still recovering from offseason knee surgery, but he's ahead of schedule, according to the second-year coach. Bachmeier - who beat out USC transfer Jack Sears to win the starting job last fall - said in December that he played through a damaged meniscus in his right knee las t season. He had surgery to repair it on Dec. 29. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound native of Murrieta, California, posted career highs in completions (252), passing yards (3,079) and passing touchdowns (20) last season. He is already ranked in the top 10 all-time at Boise State in some categories, including career passing yards (6,108, No. 7) and career TD passes (35, No. 10). - Idaho Statesman

Boise State continued its mastery of Wyoming, winning its fifth straight and 15th out of 16 games in the series. Wyoming (5-5, 1-5 Mountain West) lost its fifth game out of its last six after a 4-0 start. The Broncos (6-4, 4-2) won for only the second time at home this season, but it wasn't easy. After exchanging touchdowns, the teams settled in for a defensive slugfest in the first half. Jonah Dalmas booted a 43-yard field goal as time expired to give Boise State a 10-7 halftime lead. Boise State continued to struggle offensively in the second half, managing only a 35-yard fiel d goal from Dalmas before the Broncos' defense provided the spark to break the game open. - Boise State/AP College Football

Hank Bachmeier passed for 283 yards and a touchdown and Boise State had five sacks and forced three turnovers to mute No. 25 Fresno State's high-scoring offense in a 40-14 victory Saturday night. Boise State (5-4, 3-2) dominated in the rematch of the 201 8 Mountain West championship game. The Broncos lost that snow-filled game in overtime and had to wait three years to get their revenge, but never trailed and took advantage of a sloppy night by the Bulldogs (7-3, 4-2). "Had a pretty good idea that they w ere going to be able to do this today because of how they worked throughout the week, their mindset, how they focused when we got down here," Boise State coach Andy Avalos said. "Nobody wavered from the plan." George Holani rushed for 117 yards on 21 car ries. Jonah Dalmas matched his career best with four field goals.Dalmas had a fifth field goal taken away when Fresno State was called for roughing the kicker. Three plays later. Bachmeier threw a 10-yard TD to Khalil Shakir. It was Boise State's defense, however, that had everyone buzzing after the game. "That was everything," Dalmas said. "We needed all those crucial stops that we got. They all did their jobs, did it effectively, efficiently. The defense was a huge part of creating great field position for us." Jake Haener passed for 279 yards and two touchdowns for Fresno State, but threw three interceptions - one in the end zone. Fresno State had all sorts of problems and was held to its lowest point total of the season while playing in fron t of its first sellout at home since 2017. - Boise State/AP College Football

Hank Bachmeier threw for 172 yards and Boise State forced four turnovers in a 26-17 upset victory over No. 10 BYU on Saturday. Cyrus Habibi-Likio ran for a season-high 75 yards and a touchdown, and Andrew Van Buren added a season-high 60 yards and a touc hdown to help the Broncos (3-3) snap a two-game losing streak in the series. The Broncos held the Cougars (5-1) to a single touchdown over the final three quarters after blowing second-half leads in losses to UCF and Nevada. "We finally finished the seco nd half," Bachmeier said. "I think we've always been capable of doing it." Jaren Hall threw for a career-high 302 yards and a touchdown for BYU, and Tyler Allgeier ran for 73 yards and a touchdown.The Cougars outgained Boise State 413-312 in total yards. "I felt like we moved the ball pretty well, except for a couple of drives," Hall said. "We just didn't take care of the ball and did a lot of uncharacteristic things...and put our defense in a tough spot several times. That's pretty much the stor y of the game for us." Hall looked sharp during the first quarter despite a two-game absence with a rib injury. He completed long passes to open each of BYU's first two drives. Hall punctuated the second drive with a 14-yard strike to Samson Nacua that m ade it 10-0. Boise State rallied to take a 20-10 halftime, capitalizing on back-to-back BYU fumbles.

Hank Bachmeier threw for two touchdowns, Boise State's defense frustrated Utah State and the Broncos won their 22nd-straight conference opener with a 27-3 win over the Aggies on Saturday. The back-breaker was a 3-yard pass from Bachmeier to Scott Matlock with 5:09 to play. That capped a 15-yard drive after a critical fumble by Utah State quarterback Andrew Peasley. It took the Broncos nine plays and 4 minutes, 23 seconds to cover 15 yards because of penalties.Utah State (3-1, 1-1 Mountain West Co nference), off to its best start since the 1978 team opened 5-0, finally scored on a field goal less than a minute into the fourth quarter. But even then, the Aggies had a first-and-goal on that drive. Boise State (2-2, 1-0) answered that with a field go al and followed with Jackson Cravens' strip sack and Demitri Washington's recovery. Utah State had 217 yards in the first half but trailed 10-0 and finished with 443 yards with little to show for it. The Aggies entered the game third in the nation at 563 .3 yards. - Boise State/AP College Football

Hank Bachmeier threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns, and Stefan Cobbs added a special teams touchdown and a 61-yard scoring reception as Boise State defeated UTEP 54-13 Friday night. Boise State (1-1) gave first-year coach Andy Avalos his first win and the program's 20th straight home opening victory, playing in front of a capacity crowd for the first time since 2019. Avalos, who played linebacker at Boise State from 2001-04, relished the victory as well as the opportunity to play in front of a raucou s home crowd. "To be able to go out in that stadium and have it packed the way it was—when there's that type of energy in the stadium, that's a home field advantage," Avalos said. UTEP (2-1) appeared primed to put up a fight early despite being 25-poin t underdogs. But six turnovers along with a defense prone to yield big plays ultimately doomed the Miners. "(Boise State) played a great game and did a lot of really good stuff, but we didn't play well and made way too many turnovers," UTEP coach Dana Di mel said. "Way too many mistakes to win in an environment like this." - Boise State/AP College Football

While much of the country was focused on the third day of the NFL Draft on Saturday, the Boise State football team took some time to celebrate a local hero. Several Boise State players, including quarterback Hank Bachmeier, joined a car parade at Julia D avis Park put on by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to honor 2021 Idaho Child of the Year Jaleel Dodd. Dodd, 9, was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia last July, and COVID-19 made his treatment even more difficult, as only one parent wa s allowed to be with him during treatment and no other visitors were allowed.He's a huge fan of the Broncos, and after they met on Saturday, Bachmeier is now Dodd's biggest fan. "It was just an honor to go out there and see him and how tough he is , and it just puts into perspective to be grateful for what you have," Bachmeier told reporters on Sunday. "He's just fighting and it was awesome to see a smile on his face." Bachmeier said he caught a ride to the park with fellow quarterback Cade Fenneg an, and the duo presented Dodd with some Boise State gear, including a hat and poster. "I told him I was proud of him and to just keep working hard and fighting," said Bachmeier, adding that Boise State's Brooke Pahukoa played a large role in getting the Broncos involved. "We care about our community as much as they care about us." - Idaho Statesman

The last time Boise State sophomore quarterback Hank Bachmeier started back-to-back weeks was in early October 2019, when he was emerging as a young star. He's expected to do that again Saturday - 13 months later - and against the same opponent that dera iled his 2019 season: Hawaii. Bachmeier missed the Air Force win and BYU loss this season after testing positive for COVID-19, he told the media Tuesday. He returned last week to help the Broncos (3-1 overall, 3-0 Mountain West) beat Colorado State. "I c an't control injuries. I can't control a global pandemic," Bachmeier said. "They're all things that are kind of out of my sphere of control. It stinks, but they're things that I can't control. But I can control how prepared I am."Bachmeier went 6- 0 as the starter last season before he was injured in the regular-season win against Hawaii. He missed the loss to BYU, returned to beat San Jose State and got injured again, then missed the final four regular-season games and the Mountain West title gam e against Hawaii. He was back in the lineup for the bowl loss to Washington - then didn't get to play for 10 months as the Broncos waited for a belated green light to compete during the pandemic. In all, Bachmeier is 9-1 as a starter, and the Broncos are 6-2 without him. - Idaho Statesman

Boise State won its home opener for the 11 th straight time and hasn’t dropped a conference opener since 1999. Utah State continued its abysmal record against the Broncos, losing for the 17th time in the last 18 matchups. Despite the game taking place in an empty stadium with less atmosphere th an a spring game, Boise State brought plenty of intensity on defense and sprinkled in its trademark pizzazz on offense. The Broncos held Utah State to 45 total yards in the first half, keeping Utah State quarterback Jason Shelley under constant duress. M eanwhile, Bachmeier shined in his return after an injury-mired 2019 season. He utilized his full complement of receivers, completing passes to eight different players. Khalil Shakir led the corps with seven receptions and a pair of touchdowns, including a 52-yard scoring strike. - Boise State/AP College Football

New offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau said improving Bachmeier's footwork will help him deliver passes on time, which will lead to fewer collisions. "He was a little all over the map last year," Kiesau told reporters. "How you play the game at quarterbac k is getting in a rhythm so you don't have to think about some of those fundamentals and just go play the game with your eyes downfield." Bachmeier spent plenty of time this offseason working on his own to make sure each step in his drop matches the timi ng of the routes his receivers are running. "All your footwork times up with a specific route concept," Bachmeier said. "Am I too slow? Am I too fast? Am I double hitching? We've been working on all those things to get the timing down."Avoiding a sophomore slump has been on the forefront of Bachmeier's mind, but spring ball was canceled and offseason workouts were limited because of COVID-19, which left him with a little more free time than usual. He spent part of it earning the nickname "Hillbil ly Hank." The Murrieta, California, native hadn't explored much of Idaho outside of Boise and he had never ridden a horse before making a trip to teammate Tyler Eiguren's family ranch in Fruitland. He had to borrow boots and a hat and didn't even own a p air of jeans before his first ride. - Idaho Statesman

Despite the cancellation of spring sports in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus, Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson said Monday that programs in the conference will be fine for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends June 30. But if there 's no football, he said the story changes dramatically. "If there's no college football this fall, there's very little likelihood there will be any other sports because 85% of revenue derived in college athletics comes from the sport of football," Thomps on said in a video interview released by the Mountain West.In 2018-19, Boise State football generated almost half of the $50,599,483 collected by the entire athletic department. Thompson hinted that Mountain West media days may be held in a virtua l format in July, but he said the date could get pushed back depending on when, or if, football season begins. He also said scheduling is going to be a challenge, as Group of Five conferences compete with the obligations CBS and Fox already have to the N FL and Power Five college football games. "There's a lot of games that might be in a very condensed fall, if we're playing football in the fall," he said. The latest College Football Playoff budget was approved this week, according to Thompson, and it to ok a 16-20% cut. - Idaho Statesman

Chase Cord threw for 175 yards and three touchdowns in relief of injured starter Hank Bachmeier and No. 14 Boise State beat Hawaii 59-37 on Saturday night. The Broncos (6-0, 3-0 Mountain West) remained perfect at home against the Rainbow Warriors in seve n meetings, despite losing Bachmeier early in the second quarter when he was scrambling for a first down and spun to elude oncoming linebacker Kana'i Picanco. Bachmeier absorbed a hit in his lower back and promptly fumbled. He walked gingerly off the fie ld with the aid of staff trainers before going to the locker room. In the second half, he returned to the sidelines in street clothes.The nature and extent of Bachmeier's injury was not disclosed by the school. Hawaii (4-2, 1-1), which entered the game with the Mountain West's top passing offense and fourth nationally, fell behind early and never seemed to have an answer defensively for any of the three quarterbacks Boise State played. With Bachmeier out, Cord ensured that the Broncos' passing of fense that ranks second in the conference didn't miss a beat, throwing TD strikes of 33, 42, and 8 yards. Jaylon Henderson also played significant time at quarterback as the Broncos' trio of signal callers combined for 315 yards passing. - Boise State/AP College Football

Boise State was looking for a fast start against UNLV, especially coming off a bye week. And, while second-half defense had been the key to the No. 16 Broncos' previous four wins, their first-half defensive work was near perfect Saturday. Hank Bachmeier threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns and Boise State rode a strong defensive effort to a 38-13 win over UNLV. "The whole mindset coming off the bye was how are we going to start fast," said Boise State coach Bryan Harsin, whose team led 17-0 at halftim e. "What's our mindset Friday, Saturday night, our guys came ready to play. It was a really solid defensive performance."Khalil Shaker caught seven passes for 111 yards and a TD, John Hightower had four catches for 105 yards, including a 76-yard t ouchdown reception that make it 14-0 with 13:38 left until halftime. "They just called the play and I went on the go route," Hightower said. "As I play my part, as they come up, as they call my play. I just do what I can." Shaker's touchdown came on a pa ss from backup Chase Cord, a 24-yard hookup with 5:31 left in the game. Boise State (5-0, 2-0 Mountain West) is having a good week in its quest for a Group of Five bowl berth. On Friday night, the Broncos' closest competitor for that spot, No. 18 UCF (4- 2), lost at Cincinnati 27-24. Bachmeier opened the scoring with 11:33 left in the first quarter, finding Garrett Collingham on the right side for a 2-yard scamper through a tackler. - Boise State/AP College Football

Hank Bachmeier threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns, Robert Mahone rushed for a pair of scores in the fourth quarter, and No. 20 Boise State pulled away in the second half for a 30-19 win over Air Force on Friday night. Bachmeier's arm made up for a Br oncos' running game that was ineffective until the fourth quarter. He hit CT Thomas on a 36-yard touchdown pass in the first half while getting crunched by a defender, and added a 28-yard TD toss to tight end John Bates late in the third quarter to give the Broncos a 17-13 lead. Mahone added a pair of 10-yard TD runs in the fourth as the Broncos (4-0, 1-0 Mountain West) won their 20th straight conference opener.Bachmeier completed 19 of 26 passes in another impressive performance by the freshman in just his fourth start.

Taven Birdow led Air Force (2-1, 0-1) with 67 yards rushing, but the sec ond-best rushing attack in the country was held to 242 yards, more than 100 yards under its season average. Bachmeier also got help from his receivers, who made terrific catches. Thomas, who had a career-high 119 yards receiving, made a diving 29-yard ca tch to set up Eric Sachse's 40-yard field goal in the first half. John Hightower made a juggling reception surrounded by two defenders on a key third-down in the fourth quarter, and Mahone scored on a 10-yard TD run on the next play to give the Broncos a 23-13 lead. - Boise State/AP College Football
