Ask the Fans: How Important is the 2022 Battle for the Iron Skillet?

“The next one.” That is always the correct answer to the question What’s the most important game on the schedule?

Horned Frog fans are quick to call out the Battle for the Iron Skillet as the “Super Bowl” for the folks out east; but for the 2022 season, the case could be made that this game also holds special importance for those in Purple. The Mustangs took home the Iron Skillet in the final two editions of the Gary Patterson era, pushing the longtime Head Coach out the door in favor of the coach responsible for those TCU losses, SMU’s Sonny Dykes.
