Cedar City • Southern Utah's Cody Larsen is the Great West Conference's defensive player of the week for his performance in Saturday's 27-24 victory at Northern Arizona.
A defensive tackle from Jordan High School, Larsen contributed three tackles, two "hurries" of the Lumberjack quarterback and a blocked field goal to a come-from-behind victory that clinched SUU's second straight winning season.
The Thunderbirds finished 6-5 despite playing seven games on the road. They went 3-0 against Big Sky Conference opponents in their final season before joining the league.
