The last time SMU beat TCU in football, in 2011, June Jones was one of the hottest names in coaching and the Horned Frogs were coming off of a Rose Bowl win. A lot has changed in the seven years since, most notably, the direction of the programs. The Horned Frogs are trending upward - including accepting an invitation to a Power Five conference, while the Ponies haven’t finished above .500 just twice since 2012. It looked like SMU was trending upward with the hiring of Chad Morris, but he high-tailed it to Fayetteville after just three years in Highland Park.
