In this episode of Saturday vs Sunday, I break down TCU’s win over SMU in the Iron Skillet showdown, a game that turned into the Eric McAlister showcase. From start to finish, you could see TCU had the edge, but once McAlister got rolling in the second half, the contest was over.McAlister was simply unstoppable — 8 receptions, 254 yards, and 3 touchdowns, including a long 70-yard strike that broke SMU’s back. With TCU losing key receivers to the NFL, there was some doubt about who would step up this season. McAlister answered that question emphatically. He looked like a man among boys, and by the end of the game, it was clear TCU has found their new WR1.Quarterback Josh Hoover did his part too, throwing for 379 yards and 5 touchdowns, keeping the Horned Frogs’ offense balanced with 138 rushing yards as well. But the story was McAlister, who turned every touch into a highlight.On the flip side, SMU once again showed they can score but can’t stop anyone. That’s two straight weeks giving up over 500 yards of offense, and their once-proud defense now looks porous. Jennings remains talented but mistake-prone, throwing two interceptions that killed momentum.For TCU, though, this felt like an early-season statement win. If McAlister continues to play at this level, and Hoover keeps improving, the Horned Frogs are going to be a real factor in the Big 12 race.
