WATCH: Texas football releases hype video ahead of Iowa State game

The Longhorns have to be ready for a three-hour fight.

The Texas Football account graced Twitter with another hype video this week. It might be one of the best short films of the season.

Heading into what will undoubtedly be a physical battle, the video compared the game to a boxing match. It will certainly mirror that as Texas faces the blue collar, hard-nosed Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday.

The game could end up being a 15-round fight if Matt Campbell and the Cyclones have anything to say about it. Iowa State is comfortable in close game situations and refuses to stay on the ground after getting knocked down. In addition, Campbell finds a way to coach his team into games, lulling the opposition to sleep before he strikes.

The focus for Texas is clear. The Longhorns have to be ready for a three-hour fight. Steve Sarkisian and company will have to play fundamentally sound football to avoid letting Iowa State land a late knockout punch.

The game will be another chance to prove the team can close tight ballgames against tough competition.
