Out Of The Blue: A Film About Life & Football at Boise State

Out of the Blue into the Black
The Boise State Broncos have a reputation. Promise less with a band of rag-tag 'too small for Division I' recruits then deliver more than expected. In turn BSU is one of the most exciting teams in Division I football. To their fans they're the little, non BCS that could. Going undefeated they beat brawn with brains when they crashed the elite BCS party with a 43-42 upset victory over powerhouse Oklahoma in last year's Fiesta Bowl. This compelling, slick documentary takes the viewer beyond the feat and concentrates on the players that not only could, but did.

Director Michael Hoffman is a Payette native and former Boise State Student Body President and A-list director that struck it rich in Hollywood. Hoffman is as Boise Blue as the Broncos, yet he lets his blue collar flag fly with this film. He aptly concentrates on the fabric of this accomplishment, the players and their dreams and it's refreshing to see a story unfold where hard work is rewarded in the end...

Out of the Blue
What an inspirational show. This documentary proves that through a combination of heart, attitide and the belief in one another-now this is ultimate gift! Everyone can learn from these life lessons and experiences. Thank you Boise State for offering to share your vision- to never give up and never let anyone tell you that you don't belong.

GO BRONCOS.

Out of the Blue
Not being familiar with Boise State or even that part of the country, I enjoyed looking deeper into the program that suddenly came to the upper echelon of big-time college football with its bowl game victory over Oklahoma a few years back. This documentary was well done and exposes the ins and outs of a program that does things the right way. I would recommend it to any football fan. As a high school coach I'm always looking for documentaries on little known schools that have made it big. This particular video didn't just cover the season game by game, but rather looked closer at some of the players, coaches, and the philosophy of being a Bronco.
