As SMU approaches the end of its first full year under head coach Sonny Dykes, here are five burning questions that the Mustangs must answer this offseason:
1. Will there be a quarterback battle, and if so, how much of one?
The “coach speak” answer to this question was yes, is yes, and will always be yes. But when you have a quarterback that has passed for over 2,500 yards for three straight seasons, how much of a battle can there really be?
Ben Hicks is an interesting case. While he’s set multiple school passing records, his issues with ball security, decision making and body language have been well documented.
