SportsDay college bloggers took a look at five key issues facing each of their teams in 2017. Here are five things SMU fans should be on the lookout for:
1. Quarterback battle
Ben Hicks ended spring as the leader in the quarterback race, but it's not exactly over and done with. Arkansas transfer Rafe Peavey and junior college product DJ Gillins are both talented additions that could prove to be better options. Hicks had an up-and-down year last season but showed flashes of potential.
2. Tight end production
Chad Morris has stated that he is committed to using the tight end, but Jeremiah Gaines was an afterthought last year.
