Well, here we are, it’s November 25th and Iowa State is in first place of the Big 12 with a chance to clinch a spot in the Big 12 title game for the first time in school history. Texas also is playing for a chance in that title game, but a red-shirt wideout would like a word. Landen Akers has not necessarily played a huge role in the ISU offense this year, reeling in 14 catches for 216 yards, but he could be a great 3rd or 4th guy to get touches this week.
The Longhorns have the 3rd worst pass defense in the Big 12, only ahead of Texas Tech and Kansas State (also worth noting they give up a league-worst 283 passing yards per game).
