Inside, others climb the staircase to a wide sanctuary where pews double as a sanctuary for a much needed nap.

Sunday morning means it is time to worship.

There will definitely be two teams with something to prove on the field Saturday. In 2005, TCU was coming off a big win and the Mustangs were coming off a tough loss to Baylor.

SMU had something to prove, while TCU was on top of the world and got knocked down by the seemingly lowly Mustangs.
