Ben Hicks transfers to HogsModerators: PonyPride, SmooPower Re: Ben Hicks transfers to HogsI'm sure stallion can also provide us with the info on how many of those 15 ints. were taken back for TDs. vs pick6-Hicks.
Re: Ben Hicks transfers to HogsYou cannot really compare Hicks to Gilbert , With regards to the 2012 season. Gilbert was still a head case back then and was playing in June’s run and shoot yourself in the foot offense.
But it doesn’t really matter what the stats say, Gilbert had a much better arm, could run, is more accurate, And could turn other players around him into play makers. Hicks need to play makers to succeed, Gilbert does not. While I like Hicks and appreciate what he has accomplished, Gilbert is definitely the more skilled quarterback. I just got chills imagining Gilbert throwing to proché, quinn, and Sutton Last season.

Nah, sudden case of amnesia. Stallion the king of cherry picked 'info' and 'insight'. 4 years from now he'll still be chattering about the 'total rebuild' at Arkansas, as his favorite used car salesman scratches his way to that magical 6-7 win plateau.
Re: Ben Hicks transfers to HogsVanity my favorite sin.
Re: Ben Hicks transfers to HogsI love the revisionist history around here-not only did he have a horrible TD/Int ratio in his 4th season but he couldn't see receivers downfield or wouldn't throw it downfield-he ended with a 5.8 yards PER ATTEMPT which is ridiculously bad. Now that I think about it I think I remember that being near the bottom of all NCAA QBs that year

can you also remember how many pick6's he gave up. I am sure hicks was way above him on those stats. probably even lead the nation ( sad they don't keep stats on things like that).
Re: Ben Hicks transfers to HogsSo when all is said and done, it would appear we "traded up" at the QB position, especially considering the fact that Buechele will have 2 years.

But can Boosh throw an out route?

They could use him. All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand

Re: Ben Hicks transfers to Hogs
Yes. He has plenty of arm talent and is a more accurate passer. His challenges have been more around making reads rather than throwing scripted plays (WR screen). For Shane's career, he is well over 60%, improved every year, 2-to-1 TD to INT ratio, 7.2 yards per attempt and a 132 rating. Ben was 56%, regressed this year, 2-to-1 TD to INT ratio, 7.2 yards per attempt and a 130 rating. Pretty even outside of completion percentage, and Shane was doing that against a higher level of competition. I would hope that completion percentage bump will lead to a more consistent offense.
Re: Ben Hicks transfers to Hogs100% guaranteed that Dykes is thrilled to swap Hicks for Shane.

No argument from me on this, Dad. For SD, Christmas was just a tad late but he got a huge present. Well worth the wait.
