Year one of the Sonny Dykes era will kick off on the road, as the Horned Frogs’ new head football coach will make his debut in Boulder, CO when TCU Football faces off against Colorado on September 3rd.
The non-conference schedule continues with the first home date of the new era, a matchup with Tarleton — the first time the Frogs and Texans have met on the gridiron. After the September 10th home opener and yet another early bye week, the real fireworks begin; Dykes and other former members of the SMU staff will take their new team across the Metroplex to face their own team, when the 101st Battle for the Iron Skillet takes place on the campus of the Mustangs in what is sure to be a contentious matchup between two fanbases who have had a fire lit under them on and off the field over the last year plus.
