Petersen's biggest accomplishment was finding Kellen Moore, the floppy-haired lefty most responsible for shifting a formerly ground-and-pound offense into an aerial assault. The pair were immensely successful. Boise State went 50-3 in Moore's four years as starter, including a Fiesta Bowl win in 2009. But the further Petersen is removed from Moore, the more pertinent it is to ask whether the quarterback made him instead of Moore simply being a product of Petersen's genius, as most assumed at the time. To wit, Boise lost seven games in Petersen's final two seasons, or more than twice as many as he did in his inaugural season and all the Moore years combined. A bad run, perhaps, but Petersen also posted three losses in 2007 — as many as that entire five-year glory stretch — before Moore arrived to vault the program back up.
