Texas (15-2, 4-1) won a pair of home games against No. 14 TCU and Texas Tech in comeback fashion last week.
This week, Texas has a pair of road games against No. 12 Iowa State (13-3, 4-1) and West Virginia (10-7, 0-5). If the Longhorns are to stay in the Big 12 title race or keep a 14-4/13-5 type conference season alive, gaining a split on the road is imperative.
