The Texas Longhorns (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) enter their matchup with the Iowa State Cyclones (3-3, 0-3 Big 12) riding high after a 49-0 win over the Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Shootout. The Cyclones possess one of the conference’s best defenses, but Matt Campbell’s team has produced little on offense.
