How freshman Will Brown has re-opened the race for SMU's starting quarterback spot

UNIVERSITY PARK - When Will Brown came out in the third quarter as SMU’s starting quarterback at Michigan on Saturday, it was a case of a coach trying to determine what works best for his football team.

Coach Sonny Dykes doesn’t have the luxury of two NFL-bound receivers like the Mustangs had last season, although James Proche is doing a nice impersonation of Courtland Sutton and Trey Quinn.

No, this Mustangs’ team has to be different than last year’s, when Ben Hicks could use his arm to put the offense in high gear.

This year’s team is different, which is why Brown suddenly has created a bit of a quarterback question, if not a full-blown controversy.
