UNIVERSITY PARK -- Ben Hicks is happy to be back at practice.
The junior quarterback just finished his first week with the new SMU coaching staff, led by head coach Sonny Dykes. After three years learning under Chad Morris and his power-spread offense, Hicks can already see one major difference in Dykes' Air Raid attack.

"I think, to me, it's more high-percentage throws," Hicks explained after Saturday's practice. "It's not as much backyard football. The offense seems more detailed and descriptive.
