The No. 21 Texas Longhorns hit the road to face the No. 15 Iowa State Cyclones in Ames on Saturday.
Despite three losses in the last four games, Iowa State is the surprise team in the Big 12 this season under first-year head coach TJ Otzelberger after wins over Xavier, Memphis, and Iowa during non-conference play and a victory over surging Texas Tech.
And those losses certainly aren’t a sign that the Cyclones were overrated heading into the Big 12 schedule — Iowa State took Baylor and Kansas to the wire and lost to Oklahoma on the road.
