BOISE, Idaho (AP) _ Richie Brockel, the starting tight end and
captain of the No. 6 Boise State offense, is expected to miss the
rest of the season with a foot injury.
Brockel, who has eight catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns
this season, injured his left foot in the Broncos' 63-25 blowout
over rival Idaho Saturday. Coach Chris Petersen declined to provide
details of the injury, but said Brockel, a senior, is undergoing
tests Monday.
Petersen and teammates said Brockel's value is in setting the
physical tone for the offense and being a leader.
The Broncos (10-0) also lost freshman running back Matt
Kaiserman for the season. Kaiserman, who saw his first action last
month at Hawaii, suffered a broken right leg. In four games,
Kaiserman has 33 carries for 150 yards and one touchdown.
