After TCU’s 42-34 victory over SMU at Gerald J. Ford Stadium Saturday afternoon, Horned Frogs head coach Sonny Dykes is clearly the guy your girlfriend told you not to worry about.
In a very UFC fashion, the game itself was severely underwhelming. TCU started fast, played mediocre in the middle but mortal-combat-finished the Mustangs with a 63-yard rushing touchdown from senior running back Emari Demercado, his second touchdown of the fourth quarter.
There was no flag-planting, no intense booing of Dykes by SMU fans and no Iron Skillet in sight after the game. The crowd was a sellout of 35,569, declared the largest for a regular season game in 23-year-old Ford Stadium.
