AUSTIN -- Texas players met with the media on Tuesday to preview Saturday's home game vs. No. 22 Iowa State (6-3, 5-2 Big 12), a major conference clash that also happens to be senior night for the No. 19 Longhorns (7-3, 5-2 Big 12).
Here are five takeaways from Tuesday's availability:
1. Sam Ehlinger and his improved mechanics
