AP:Â TCU needs to be more emotional in non-Big 12 game vs. SMU
The Associated Press
DALLAS – Other than getting a victory, TCU coach Gary Patterson was far from satisfied because of what he perceived as a lack of emotion from his Horned Frogs in their Big 12 opener.
Now they play their final non-conference game against former SWC rival SMU in the game known as the Battle for the Iron Skillet. And the Frogs’ first road game this season comes on a short week, with kickoff Friday night.
“We understand how this game plays out. Every year, it’s been a war,” Patterson said this week. “So you better get ready to play in this ballgame.”
TCU (2-1) has won 14 of the last 16 games in the Dallas-Fort Worth rivalry, but the Mustangs are 2-1 for the first time since 2011 — the last time they beat the Frogs.
