UNIVERSITY PARK -- SMU could make history Friday night against TCU, but not that the Mustangs would like to.
Across the last six years, the Mustangs are winless against TCU and enter Friday's annual Battle for the Iron Skillet as 22-point underdogs. SMU has never lost seven consecutive games to the Horned Frogs, and the Mustangs' season opener didn't provide hope that they could avoid infamy.
SMU (0-1) was sluggish in a 46-23 loss to North Texas last week that included the Mean Green jumping out to a 36-0 lead. The Mustangs had two first downs in the first three quarters and held the ball for barely 15 minutes overall.
