Williams, Boise State defense shines in 24-13 win over Troy

BOISE, Idaho -- Just before Boise State's Avery Williams touched the ball for the first time, he couldn't even see it. Still, the ball fell into his hands and 81 yards later, he was standing in the end zone.

Williams' punt return in the first quarter sparked Boise State, while the Broncos' defense stymied Troy all game long to post a 24-13 victory on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.

"I saw the ball for the first two seconds and then I couldn't see it anymore," said Williams, who shaded his eyes during the kick.
