It did not look good at first, when Boise State sophomore cornerback Avery Williams went down hurt in the fourth quarter Saturday.
Williams’ elbow was hit as junior defensive end Chase Hatada came in to make a tackle against Troy. Sophomore STUD end Curtis Weaver waved the training staff over, and Williams spent a few moments on the turf.
After the game, Williams was seen with ice wrapped around it. A starter on defense and an electric punt returner, his absence would be substantial Saturday against UConn. Boise State coach Bryan Harsin shed a little — key word, a little — light on his status Monday.
