BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Boise State receiver Austin Pettis and kick returner Titus Young are among the top players in the Western Athletic Conference this week.

Pettis was tapped as offensive player of the week after helping the No. 6 Broncos beat rival Idaho 63-25 in Boise Saturday. Pettis caught eight passes for 123 yards and four touchdowns. The four TDs tied a school record and gives Pettis 14 for the season, most in the nation.

Young was named the league's top special teams player after returning three kicks for 130 yards, including one 100-yard return for a touchdown in the final minute of the first half.

The Broncos are now 10-0 on the season and gearing up to play at Utah State Friday night.
