Just when we all thought things were getting better, we got a kick between the legs and were sent back to reality.
Iowa State led 6-3 at half. We knew the offense needed to get more points on the board. The defense was playing well, creating an early turnover and limiting Texas to practically nothing. The score wasn’t great, but we sure felt good about what was happening and Charlie Strong all but had the moving trucks in his driveway.
What we were not prepared for was the 24-point onslaught that Texas came out with in the second half.
