The zone read play was effective. The other plays they ran it with Freeman solo in the backfield to spread the defense wide but nobody bought that we would throw and it didn't work.

It is supposed to really be our version of 18 wheeler, red zone offense to prevent more INTs.

Freeman has to throw the ball a little to at least have the defense respect the pass and not load the box every time he plays QB.

And or Hicks needs to run in the zone read in order for it to be effective.

I recognize that most kids who play any position in college played QB in High School since they were probably one of the best athletes on their High School Team. Yes Freeman has been playing RB so far at SMU... Why not try him at QB? I recognize that Freeman was put in to maybe run a few select plays in the Wildcat formation. Not sure if Ke'Mon Freeman can throw, but he has to be better than Ben Hicks.

Imagine Freeman at QB, Xavier Jones, Braeden West, or Jordan Carmouche in the backfield. Seems like an opposing defense would have a lot more to think about. At a bare minimum the defense would have to pay attention to the threat of Freeman running.

The spotlight is too big for Ben Hicks. I recognize that Hicks is a Redshirt Freshman, but let's stop with all the excuses for his poor performance. Hicks has all the hype and none of the production. How many interceptions has Hicks throws in 2+ games? How many missed throws has he made? This is embarrassing. Good news is that we do have a couple of QBs coming to SMU next year that could compete for the Starting QB Position, but let's be honest here, they won't be here soon enough. We need results now.

SMU needs a leader at QB. The offense does not look good with Hicks at the helm. Let's try something different!

Duke is playing a redshirt QB today and leading Notre Dame on the road.

It would seem the if they had written him off as qb that rock would be listed as the third string over him. Looks like they think it could work

Collin Rock just moved over to QB about 3 weeks ago

We have also lost the 2 games against the 2 teams with better recruited talent and won against the 2 teams with worse recruited talent. Recruiting determines a high percentage of most games-more than on field Coaching
