Two teams determined to add a non-conference game to the schedule will meet in an unlikely, impromptu matchup in Fort Worth.
Louisiana Tech (5-3, 4-2 C-USA) was originally slated to play Baylor on Sept. 12. Meanwhile, TCU (5-4, 5-4 Big 12) was supposed to play its Iron Skillet rival SMU one day prior, on Sept. 11, but COVID-19 issues canceled both games.
The programs aligned their desires for an additional game, and now Louisiana Tech gets a shot at a Big 12 program while TCU hosts a non-conference game in a ceremonial sendoff for the seniors.
