UNIVERSITY PARK -- SMU had planned to use backup quarterback Ben Hicks on their fourth possession of last Saturday's opener at UNT. That strategy didn't change when the fourth series began at the Mustangs' 13-yard line.
Hicks threw the ball away after a bad snap on first down, and then handed off to Xaiver Jones for a one-yard loss. On third-and-11, with pressure coming, Hicks attempted his first collegiate pass.
