Akey: Wideout Marcel Posey out for year

Idaho football coach Robb Akey confirmed that backup wide receiver and kick returner Marcel Posey will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. He sustained the knee injury during Saturday’s 38-17 loss at Nebraska. Akey hopes to have injured starting guard Tevita Halaholo and receivers Preston Davis and Justin Veltung back against UNLV. Halaholo missed the second half of the NU game.

The Vandals and Rebels play Saturday at 7:30 p.m. on ESPNU. Check back later for more.
