The SMU Mustangs have secured the Iron Skillet Bowl for the first time since 2021. Here's a recap of their 66-42 victory over the TCU Horned Frogs.
Fast forward 39 years and one bye week later, the 2024 version of the Mustangs re-wrote the script against their cross-town rivals in a 66-35 beat down of the Horned Frogs to claim the 103rd all-time meeting in the Iron Skillet Bowl, while surpassing the 60 point mark for the first time in the series.
- DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN: After the Mustangs' defense took the field, TCU collected two first downs. Facing a 4th and 1 from the 50-yard line, running back Cam Cook was stopped short. Cook fumbled, and after a review confirmed lost possession of the ball, which was then returned by cornerback Brandon Crossley for a 51-yard touchdown.
- TOUCHDOWN: TCU capitalized on the turnover, converting the Jennings fumble into points as Cook scored a touchdown from 7 yards out and closing in on the Mustangs' lead. - PICK-SIX: The Mustangs continued their scoring frenzy as safety Ahmaad Moses returned a 60-yard interception off a pass by Hoover towards the sideline.
- TOUCHDOWN: With just over 10 minutes remaining, Jennings connected with wide receiver Romello Brinson on a 51-yard catch-and-run. Brinson hurdled over a TCU defender, advancing the Mustangs into plus territory. Four plays later, Jennings connected with Brashard Smith for a 24-yard touchdown. The Mustangs elected to go for two and successfully converted after Jennings once again found Smith off a roll out, making it a three-possession game.
