What's on the line?

Everybody's favorite D-FW rivalry is back as the Horned Frogs and Mustangs battle for the 98th Iron Skillet. TCU has won 16 of its last 18 meetings with SMU; the Mustangs haven't upset the Frogs since 2011 and haven't won the Skillet at home since 2005.

There's obvious recruiting implications and pride on the line. A successful defense of the Skillet would be just another notch in the belt of TCU head coach Gary Patterson.
