Mustangs Look For Revenge And Take Back The Iron Skillet Against TCU

DALLAS, TEXAS — The 103rd meeting between SMU and TCU for the Iron Skillet will be held at Gerald Ford Stadium Saturday, September 21st. Both teams are going into this match up after previous week losses. The Mustangs put up a good fight but were held without a touchdown two weeks ago in an 18-15 loss to BYU.

The Horned Frogs blew a 21-point lead after halftime when UCF scored in the final minute. TCU head coach Sonny Dykes has been the winning coach the last four meetings, including both games since moving to TCU after leading SMU’s first consecutive wins in the series since 1992-93.T

When it comes to players both teams have explosive, stand out guys, who will shake up any stadium. Keep an eye out for SMU kicker Collin Rogers who is currently tied for the national lead with eight made field goals this season. He set the single game school record with five against BYU, including two kicks over 50 yards.

TCU WR Jack Bech is third in the Big 12 with 116.7 yards receiving per game. He had nine catches for 200 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown, last week against UCF.

Although The Frogs have won 20 of the 26 meetings, SMU had a nine-game home winning streak before the loss to BYU. Dykes is 20-10 at TCU. Rhett Lashlee has the same record at SMU since replacing Dykes there. Tip off is set for 4pm CT.
