For Ben Hicks, football finally fun again
Ben Hicks must love the Big Easy.
The junior quarterback threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns, including a 67-yard strike to James Proche in the final minutes that proved to be the deciding score in the Mustangs’ 27-23 comeback win over Tulane Saturday in New Orleans.
It was Hicks’ first start since September 15 when SMU lost on the road to Michigan and his first victory as a starter since November 2017.
“We felt like he was going to give us the best chance to win,” SMU head coach Sonny Dykes said. “He made enough plays down the stretch to help us do that.”
