3. Kekaula Kaniho, CB

When you are part of a defense that helps shut out a team in a whole half it’s only fair to show some recognition. Cornerback Kekaula Kaniho for the Broncos did his part on Saturday night.

The senior cornerback recorded seven total tackles with them all being solo tackles which is impressive. Kaniho also had two tackles for a loss as well.

Kaniho had a few of his teammates finish ahead of him in tackles but did not have as many solo tackles, or tackles for a loss, so I gave the game ball to him.

The senior cornerback was solid for Boise State but was not the best defender on the field for the Broncos.
