What is the Iron Skillet? SMU and TCU are by far the biggest rivals when it comes down to football. This legend started in 1946 when a TCU fan saw a SMU fan frying a frog leg and thought the game should decide who got the frog legs. Of course SMU won and received the frog legs and the iron skillet. Friday will be the 96th Battle for the Iron Skillet.
What advantages does SMU hold? Overall, TCU will have the most advantage with their players, but SMU will have the most motivation. Even though dual-threat quarterback Matt Davis is out for the season, Ben Hicks has been making promising plays.
