Welcome to week two of What We Learned. We just witnessed the first win of Head Coach Jonathan Smith’s career as the Beavers beat the Southern Utah Thunderbirds 48 to 25. Let’s look at some takeaways from this game.
Last week we mentioned that Conor Blount looked like he could be the quarterback going forward; after week two, it looks like the job is his to lose. Week one starter, Jake Luton, came into the game after halftime, and the Beavers only put up seven more points on the board. Perhaps, since the game was in hand, the home team let off the gas and the lack of Trevon Bradford and Artavis Pierce made the offense ineffective, but I think we’ve seen enough to declare Blount the man.
