 BSU athletics have been the talk of campus as of late with none more popular than the football team. The 25th ranked Beavers were off to a 4-1 start heading into a weekend matchup with northern state just two days ago. We take you to the fourth quarter in this one. Beavers trailing 2014 Nick Mellum connects with Blake Holder from 19 yards out and BSU takes their first lead of the game 21-20. Later in the fourth BSU trailing now just over a minute to go fourth down. Beavers need this to stay alive. Mellum escapes pressure and finds Christian Lundy downfield for the first and BSU has some life under a minute to go fourth down again. Mellum another completion finding Vince Dinkle for the first and that would set up a Tahee No Main score from two yards out a couple plays later to tie it up and set up overtime in that overtime northern state lining up for the field goal but they fake it. The Beavers though they weren't fooled. Christian McElbane's pass falls incomplete so all BSU needs is a field goal to win freshman Mason Hoffer in for his first career attempt and with ice in his veins he drills it from 38 yards to win the game. He gets mobbed there at midfield as BSU wins the thriller in overtime 31-28. Here's your hero after the game. It's kind of a blur after I see the ball go through the uprights. I was like it was upright gunner on me running over on the ground. I'm speechless. I have no words for it. I didn't even think I was going to play this year and then I got hurt unfortunately when he's been such a great help all week so he's prepared me enough for this game so I thought I was prepared coming in and it was amazing surreal. I don't even know how to talk about it. And with that three-point overtime victory the Beavers have now jammed jump back up to number 22 in the most recent American Football Coaches Association poll up three spots from last week and after kicking the game winning field goal in that game true freshman kicker Mason Hoffer was named the NSIC special teams player of the week. Hoffer had four extra points on the day as well as that game winning 38 yard field goal.
