CFB: Two Boise State players honored by WAC


Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — The Western Athletic Conference has singled out two players from No. 6 Boise State for their performance against Hawaii last weekend.

WAC officials named safety Jeron Johnson as the top defensive player of the week and kicker Kyle Brotzman as the top special teams player.

Johnson picked off two passes and recovered a fumble in the Broncos' 54-9 victory over the Warriors Saturday night. Two of the turnovers led to 10 Boise State points.

Brotzman chipped in 18 points in the victory, the Broncos' second straight over Hawaii. Brotzman had a career-high four field goals and six extra points. His four field goals are the most by any WAC kicker this season. He also had a punt for 72 yards, the longest punt in the conference this season.
