To give you an idea of what the SMU roster looks like with fall camp a month away, we’re breaking it down position by position.

Here is the situation at quarterback.

A look at the SMU pecking order:

1. Matt Davis, Jr.
2. Ben Hicks, Fr.
3. Jordan Severt, RS-Fr.
4. Darrell Colbert, RS-Fr.
5. Garrett Krstich, Sr.

SMU finally has stability at the quarterback position after a whirlwind of a season in 2014 that saw a number of players get their shots under center.

Davis emerged as a viable option late in the year. The former Texas A&M signal-caller still needs to improve as a passer, but he was arguably SMU’s best offense weapon. A natural athlete, Davis led the Ponies in both passing and rushing despite starting just five games.

Davis had a solid spring and his athleticism makes him a good fit for Chad Morris’ offensive system. With Morris at the helm, Davis should make strides and might be in line for a big season,

While Davis appears to be the clear cut favorite to win the starting job, true freshman Ben Hicks will push him in fall camp. The Hewitt Midway product was an Elite 11 finalist a year ago and comes in with extremely high expectations.

Davis played in the game last season but did not play a lot.  He will be a lot tougher to defend this season.

They have two true freshmen listed as top ten players and Matt Davis #1.  I don't care how many offers or stars these guys have, it's no excuse to lose to this.  I'm sure they will be nice maybe midway through the season, but if they are doing anything spectacular in their second game of the season on us, then the season is already over.  i don't care who it is either.  Buyers, Davis, Grindle...no excuse for two true freshmen to not get a rude awakening to D1 football.
