Bronco Stampede

Led by sledgehammer-waving safety Winston Venable (17), the Boise State team galloped onto the blue turf of Bronco Stadium on Nov. 27 before a game against Western Athletic Conference rival Nevada. The Broncos defeated the Wolf Pack 44-33.

"Usually the team runs out of the fog right after the horse and rider, but at this game they came out slowly, in one group, like a regiment, and paused for a few seconds before breaking into a run. I've never been more pleased with their display of the concept of a team." -- Photographer Otto Kitsinger/Getty Images
