 For the first time in over three years, the quarterback other than Jordan Hine will be under center for the BSU Beavers this fall. There are big shoes to fill with multiple players vying for the spot. The two leading candidates for the job are junior Jared Henning and red shirt freshman Brandon Ault. After a strong spring season, Ault earned his way onto the first team offense to start camp. He made a lot of throws and that's one thing he has is a big arm. He was a pretty touted baseball player coming out of high school and he was able to make a lot of the throws we ask him to. Ault says he's not focused on the competition and just looking to improve his game. It's really just getting myself better and getting my team better. I mean and the places will fall, whoever deserves it will be the starters. If the current standing holds into the regular season, the coaching staff expects both quarterbacks to see the field. Jared is an extremely heady kid. He's going to know our offense inside and out. He's very physical in the run game. So certainly if he does not win the starting job, if Brandon is the guy, we'll still have packages for Jared where he can get on the field and do the things that best suit him and his abilities. Henning got the chance to learn underhine for three seasons and saw just how he prepared off the field. He watched an incredible amount of film. I lived with him for three years and he was always watching film so I think that's kind of the biggest thing I picked up is to always do that. Whoever ends up winning the starting job will be running a new up-tempo offense which both quarterbacks say fit their eye. It is my favorite in high school. I ran the exact same offense, no-huddle offense, fast speed, and it's just a tool to tire out the defense. You kind of get to read the defense fast and kind of keep them in their base package just because they can do all their tricks and stuff. So the faster we play, the easier it is for the cues on us. No matter who wins the job, don't expect there to be any hard feelings. Brandon and I are good buddies. So it's just fun every day competing with him, hanging out, so it's a good time, but we'll see how it plays out. BSU opens its season in just over three weeks. Expectations are high. Picked fifth in the pre-season conference poll and second in the North Division.
