We've reached the midpoint of the SMU season, with the Mustangs sitting at 4-2 and 1-1 in American Conference play during its bye week. This is the first in a two-part series grading SMU's position groups. First up is the offense, but check back on Friday for the defensive rankings.
Quarterback
Starter: Ben Hicks
Backups: D.J. Gillins, Rafe Peavey
Grade: B
Hicks has led an offense that ranks eighth in the country in scoring with 43.8 points per game. That said, he's still got room to grow before the end of his sophomore season.
