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]
