A year ago the debate had been raging for weeks, maybe months.
Who would be the starting quarterback for the University of Arkansas?
A strong case was made for Ben Hicks, who had played for Chad Morris at SMU, so he knew the offense and all the verbiage.
He had set some records. He was already a graduate.
If there was a red flag it was that under Sonny Dykes, who replaced Morris as the Mustangs’ head coach, he did lose his starting job for part of his senior season.
