Given how bad his first pass was he really showed us what he can do!

Thrilled for him.

Really opened things up offensively and it paid off. Maybe Hicks is just one of those guys who plays better when he is the focal point of the offense?

With our defense established as being quite good, it might be time to keep that offense opened up against UConn and Memphis. Keep UConn from hanging around and the Memphis game is going to be very similar to tonight's pace.

I’m glad his interception from Cincy didn’t carry over to this game. He truly do a reset like a senior like player does. Much progress!

Maybe he needed the benching as some kind of wakeup call. He has been a different player since he got the job back.

He's going to leave SMU holding almost every passing record in the books...and he's doing it in just 3 seasons. Announcers said he is already playing as a graduate student so I suppose that means he would have a lot of options if he chooses to leave SMU for his final season of eligibility. Will be interesting to see whether he really enjoys being at SMU or chooses to play elsewhere next year.

Since he is already a graduate student, if he transfers he must sit out a year. He will be back....

Hou QB was awful. How is he considered All-Conference caliber?
