Friday night’s matchup against TCU will be a memorable one – not only because it’s the Battle for the Iron Skillet, but also because SMU football players will wear special helmets to honor Dallas and SMU police.
SMU will commemorate the five Dallas police officers who perished during a downtown ambush in July while also remembering SMU officer Mark McCullers, who was killed in a flash flood days before the attack.
On July 7, five Dallas police officers were killed while nine were injured in an attack during a peaceful Black Lives Matter-organized rally downtown.
