With their win over the Iowa State Cyclones, the Texas Longhorns are back in the driver’s seat for the Big 12 Championship game. After catching most of the heat for the struggles in the last three weeks, the Texas defense was the primary reason for the team’s success on Saturday — not only did it play better than is has in a month, but it also managed to limit Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy’s production, which no team has done this year.
Pass defense: 148 yards, 5.1 yards per attempt, 0 TD
After getting torched for three straight weeks, the Texas Longhorns pass defense played one of its best games of the season.
