Ben Hicks visit update (story)...

[jimbeau77]

I’ll remember this post

Good for you - remember away big boy! I remember watching Ty Storey go 0-8 as a starting QB. I’ll bet you $500 dollars if Hicks starts 8 games at Arkansas he’ll win four more than that.

Deal?

Comparing a 5th year senior who has 3 years previous experience playing in the same system and has been a starter for 3 years to a guy like Storey, with no playing experience in general and none in CCM’s system is not exactly fair now is it?

Hicks May win 4 more games next year than Ty did last year.
But heres what we don’t know;

If Hicks would have won any more games last year while taking the beating Ty did.

If Ty would have won more games next year with another year exp in the offense & hopefully improved Oline & skill players.

How many games did Hicks win at SMU last year running a new offense? Uh 3 I think at SMU.

What happened last year is now water under the bridge

Giving yourself the best opportunity to win is what you have to do now.

[/quote]You’re right. We don’t know and will never know. To some, that’s a shame. And to others, not so much. Here’s the deal: Arkansas is moving on with Ben Hicks, and Ty sounds like he is moving on with his career elsewhere. I will root for Hicks and Ty.

I will say this about Hicks, he led SMU to a 54-17 thumbing of N.Texas which embarrassed us… we are better off at QB with him.

Yep and every QB on our roster but Ty Storey played in that game.
Not that it would have mattered because we could not stop NTS at time in the game.

We should be better off with Hicks on offense, but he doesnt play defense.

Hicks DID NOT DRUB the N Texas team that beat us. SMU played N Texas first game of season and lost 46-23. N Texas beat us 44-17, in their third game of the season. Not that much of a difference if you ask me

Whew. What a thread.

I love the suggested topics option

Baked could have put me in bankruptcy court! How foolish of me to put any faith in this staff to improve in their second year of a “rebuild.” Least amount of progress of any 2nd year staff in the country.

Hicks hasn’t started 8 games yet so you are in the clear!
