One of Boise State’s kings of chaos earned himself a little reward Monday.
Senior cornerback Tyler Horton earned the first Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week honor following his big game in Saturday’s 56-20 win at Troy. Horton ran two fumbles back for touchdowns, tying the NCAA record, had four tackles and disrupted a screen pass that was intercepted by linebacker Tony Lashley.
The Broncos’ defense has nicknamed themselves the “Kings of Chaos,” aiming to create negative plays. The Broncos had five sacks and four turnovers Saturday, plus broke out the viral phenomenon — the Turnover Throne.
