You don’t hear Ryan Becker’s name much.
The sophomore tight-end isn’t a starter. He’s only had one career reception. When he is in the game, he’s on special teams or leading the way for one of SMU’s running backs. To put it simply, Becker is a role player: someone who does his job week in and week out with little fanfare. But in Saturday’s 49-28 win over UConn, Becker made the biggest play of the game.
With the heavily-favored Mustangs clinging to a seven-point lead with just over seven minutes left, SMU’s defense forced UConn to punt.
