BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Players from Boise State and Idaho are among this week's top players in the Western Athletic Conference.
Conference officials picked Bronco cornerback Kyle Wilson as the top defensive player and Idaho kick return specialist Justin Veltung as the top special teams player.
Wilson, an all-WAC cornerback who is rarely tested by opposing quarterbacks, picked off his first pass of the season and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown in Boise State's 45-7 rout over San Jose State Saturday. Wilson also had four solo tackles.
Veltung, a true freshman, returned the opening kick 94 yards for a touchdown in a 35-34 Vandal victory over Louisiana Tech Saturday. His only other return was 17 yards, giving him 111 total return yards.
