Iowa State Football Post-Mortem: Texas
Reese Strickland-USA TODAY SportsOne final time to take on the Texas Longhorns. Arguably the Cyclones’ toughest game of the year, but they get it right where they want it. A home game... in prime time... in November. What could go wrong?
What Went Wrong
Special Teams
Oh yeah. The margins. I suppose that could go wrong. As they always seem to do in the biggest games in the most inopportune times. Whether that’s a high snap leading to a missed field goal, or giving up a punt return touchdown (called back on a block in the back penalty), or even having an extra point blocked and returned for 2 points the other way, the special teams couldn’t get out of their own way on Saturday Night.
