 It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win. The BSU football team escaped an NSIC North matchup against Northern State last week with a three-point overtime victory without their starting quarterback and kicker. It's unsure if they will have their kicker back this week, but it appears as if the Beavers will have to be without starting quarterback Jordan Hine once again this weekend when they host Mynot State for a homecoming matchup, meaning sophomore quarterback Nick Mellon will make his second straight start for the 22nd ranked Beavers. Nick could be the starter, without a doubt. And the play would be played both the kids. Jared Henning has done a really nice job. He was the backup quarterback. We were trying to redshirt Nick, but that didn't work out. So Nick has more game experience from last year. Jared did a few things really nice last week, so the plan would be run the ball, kind of run the same offense with Jared that we ran with Jordy and then we have to switch a few things up probably when Nick's out there. To get that first start on your belt is really huge. Just know what game day is like going in as the starter. It's huge. I feel a lot more prepared and ready to go this week.
