To put it lightly, Texas is in desperate need for an inspirational win right now.
After blowing double-digit leads in three consecutive losses, the Longhorns are hoping to avoid the program’s first four-game losing streak since 2010 when they travel to Ames to face Iowa State in Week 10.
This will be the 19th meeting between the two programs, where Texas leads the series 14-4. However, the Cyclones have bested the Longhorns recently, winning the last two matchups.
While both teams have underwhelmed this season, Iowa State has the edge over Texas by 6.5 points courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook. This is not a good matchup for the Longhorns on paper. They will need to improve in the trenches and play sound run defense to limit Iowa State running back Breece Hall.
Will Texas finally get the monkey off their back this week?
