There’s a tendency for college football to have a short memory— conferences are often only perceived as being as good as their one most recent season, teams are only perceived being as good as their most recent game.
After today’s 54-32 thrashing of UNT, the SMU Mustangs stand at 2-0 and will seem, by all accounts, to be a vastly improved team headed into next week. And after two big wins this may indeed be the case, relying on quarterback Ben Hicks who dominated the Mean Green defense, throwing for 312 yards and four touchdowns.
