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.
