BOISE, Idaho (AP) -Dealing with missing two field goals in Boise State’s loss to Nevada is difficult enough.
Now Boise State kicker Kyle Brotzman is having to endure threats and an endless dose of taunts and barbs on social networking sites.
Brotzman missed a game-winner at the end of regulation then a short attempt in overtime in the Broncos’ 34-31 loss Friday night.
Within hours of the loss, police got reports about angry fans leaving threatening telephone messages with a person thought to be with the Brotzman family.
Then came a handful of Facebook pages, some filled with ugly name-calling and jabs aimed at Brotzman – while other posts offered support.
Coach Chris Petersen tried to deflect criticism away from Brotzman Monday, saying the loss can’t be blamed on one person or play.
