5 takeaways from SMU’s spring game

Will Brown has improved, but his consistency is still a question

Last year, Will Brown replaced Ben Hicks in Michigan Stadium and held his own against one of college football’s best defenses. But he struggled with consistency down the stretch and was benched in favor of Hicks following SMU’s loss to UCF.

With Hicks gone to Arkansas and transfer Shane Buechele yet to arrive, Brown was the starter during the spring game. While he made tremendous strides with his mechanics, which had been (and sometimes remain) wonky, Brown struggled in the spring game. He threw two interceptions and missed several passes badly.
