DALLAS (SMU) - Just weeks after the Mustangs' 2009 schedule was announced, two games have already been slated for national television broadcasts. The annual State Farm DFW Duel - Battle for the Iron Skillet game against TCU will be televised on The Mtn. with a 7 p.m. kickoff on Oct. 3, and the Mustang's game with C-USA Western Division rival Houston will be aired on CBS College Sports on Oct. 24, starting at 6:30 p.m. More television selections may be made in the coming months.

Also announced on Friday was a date change for the SMU-Tulane game. Due to a scheduling conflict for the Green Wave, the game will now be played on Nov. 28.

"Following the release of our schedule, Conference USA alerted us to the conflict, and, being a good Conference member, we worked with Tulane to remedy the situation," said SMU's Director of Athletics Steve Orsini.

A full 2009 schedule is available here.

SMU opens spring practice on Monday, March 30.
