After winning its first game of the season, the Horned Frog
football team will face Metroplex-rival Southern Methodist
6 p.m. Saturday in Dallas at the Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
The Mustangs lost 36-6 in its season-opener at Louisiana
Tech.
Offensively,
the Mustangs are led by quarterback Kelan Luker, who completed
25 of 54 passes for 216 yards in last week’s loss.
The question of the game will be how strong SMU’s defense
is after allowing 36 points against the Bulldogs and if
their running game can carry a larger load for the offense.
As for TCU, the Frogs will be looking to build on their
momentum after their win last week at North Texas.
