Texas vs Iowa State Game Preview

Why Iowa State Will Win

The Cyclones are SO close.

That doesn’t mean much in a Big 12 with all ten teams good enough to beat anyone else in the league, but all three losses could’ve gone either way thanks to a defense that’s stuffing just about everything.

Kansas is rolling up points at will on everyone – it was held to 14 points and was a few missed kicks away from dropping that.

Kansas State’s high-powered ground game was held to 131 yards by the best run defense on the best overall D in the league.

Texas might have cranked up the offense against Alabama – and everyone else – but it has yet to deal with a defensive front that’s able to hold up the run like the Cyclones do.

Bijan Robinson will get his yards, and the Longhorns will get close to 150, but they won’t be able to take over like they’ll want to.

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why Texas Will Win

Iowa State doesn’t have the explosion if the Longhorns get off to a good start.

Baylor got up 17-7 in the first half in the 31-24 win over the Cyclones, and that was about it. No one else has been able to crank up the early points to put the pressure on, partly because no one else has the receiving weapons Texas brings.

What did Texas do in the fantastic 49-0 destruction of Oklahoma? It exploded with three first half Quinn Ewers touchdown passes on the way to a 28-0 first half lead. Against Texas Tech the Longhorns came up with 24 points in the first half, and they got out to a 28-0 lead on West Virginia.

Steve Sarksian and the coaching staff should be able to dial up three good drives to get started, score on two of them, and that might be it.

Iowa State doesn’t have the firepower to keep up and come back without forcing a slew of mistakes, but …

What’s Going To Happen

Texas isn’t turning the ball over, and Iowa State has only forced three takeaways over the last three games.

The Cyclone D is just that good and will keep the game from getting out of hand. The passing game will make a few pushes in the second half, but there will be too much chasing.

Texas will never feel comfortable, but the defense will hold firm in key moments in the second half to get out with a third straight win.

Texas vs Iowa State Game Preview

Why Texas Will Win

If ever a program desperately needed an inspirational performance, this is it.

Texas was on its way to the Big 12 Championship, the College Football Playoff, and maybe even bigger things after the first quarter in Dallas against Oklahoma.

The team was ripping off yards in chunks, the Steve Sarkisian offense was on fire, and then …

Three straight losses later, and 4-4 Texas is just trying to get to a tasteful bowl game.

The O still has enough talent to hang with just about anyone, Iowa State’s great D is coming off an awful performance in a loss to West Virginia, and now it’s time to start bombing away.

The Cyclone defense has been among the best in the Big 12, but it’s been spotty over the last few weeks in the secondary. It was hardly a big issue, and then Mountaineer QB Jarret Doege threw for 370 yards.

Texas has to find that passing game groove again, because …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 10

Why Iowa State Will Win

Yeah, the Texas offense has a slew of wonderful parts, but it’s like an ensemble cast movie full of high-end actors that don’t quite mesh.

The passing attack has been brutally inconsistent, the rushing attack hasn’t hit 200 yards since the first week of October, and it’s all struggling just as the run defense has gone bye-bye.

It hasn’t been a total disaster, but it can’t seem to come up with any meaningful stops lately. It’s allowed 220 rushing yards or more in each of the last three games, and the team is now 0-4 when allowing at least that many. It’s 4-0 when it doesn’t.

Breece Hall and company were stuffed by Oklahoma State two weeks ago, and followed it up with 239 yards on the ground against West Virginia. The Cyclones have hit the 200-yard mark in four of the last five games, and …

– NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 9

What’s Going To Happen

They’re about to do it here, too.

No, really, what’s the problem with Texas? It’s not that hard …

Arkansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor. Texas can’t beat the good teams, it got past the four mediocre ones on the slate, and now it has to deal with another good team.

Worst of all for the Longhorns, it’s getting an outstanding Iowa State defense coming off a miserable performance against West Virginia.

It’s going to come out roaring, the Cyclone ground game will be great, and hopes of getting back to the Big 12 Championship will be back on after going off the tracks last week.

Texas (14-7) vs Iowa State (2-18) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college basketball, go to BetMGM

Why Texas Will Win

Iowa State can’t buy a break.

It’s not like the team is playing all that poorly lately, but something’s amiss when you lose 14 straight.

Texas hasn’t been playing all that well and it’s struggling to score, but Iowa State keeps failing to come up with that one big rebound, that one big basket, and that one big moment to break through in the clutch.

It’s also not creating its own breaks, failing to get to the free throw line lately and not doing enough to force the action. Worst of all, the team is shooting as well as it had all year and it’s still losing. But …

Why Iowa State Will Win

The Cyclones really are shooting well – for them.

They’ve at least flirted with 50% from the field against Baylor and TCU, and they’re coming off of two of their better shooting days from three.

Texas just can’t seem to get rolling from three, struggling way too much in three of the last four games and not making up for it in a grind of a finish.

Iowa State played well in the 78-72 loss to the Longhorns back in early January, but it got destroyed on the boards. If the rebounding margin is close, the game should be, too.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s like Texas is in a funk it can’t snap out of.

It’s not like it was ripping teams apart when it started out 10-1, but it was able able to maintain control. There aren’t any awful losses to point to lately, but shooting has been a stronger and there are too many turnovers and not enough assists.

Texas will rebound from the loss to Texas Tech, but it won’t be anything pretty.

Texas (5-2) vs Iowa State (6-2) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM

Why Iowa State Will Win

The Cyclone offense has found its balance and groove.

When the program gets to 200 yards rushing and 200 passing, it’s 4-0. How many times did Iowa State go 200/200 last year? Once – and it beat ULM 72-20.

How many times did it do it in 2018? Twice, and five times in four years – that’s it. Now the offense has evolved, and if it does that again, it wins.

Texas is 5-0 when teams aren’t throwing the balance at the defense, and when offenses are able to do the 200/200 thing? Texas is 0-2.

The Cyclones are doing everything right. They’re converting on third downs, they’re not getting hit for a slew of penalties, and they’re leading the Big 12 in takeaways.

Let Texas make the big mistakes, mix up the offense, and it should all work.

Why Texas Will Win

The Longhorn defense has finally been able to step up against the run. To go along with that 200/200 thing, when the D holds opponents to under 100 rushing yards the team is 3-0, and the program is 12-0 over the last three years.

Okay, so Iowa State isn’t going to run for fewer than 100 yards, but Texas has figured out how to make teams one dimensional holding Baylor and West Virginia under 100 in the last three games. It’s been great against the run lately – the team is tackling better – and the pass defense will take its chances.

Texas wants to stop Cyclone 100-yard rushing machine Breece Hall first, and it starts by not letting him grind his way to the second-level. Iowa State QB Brock Purdy has been red hot – three touchdown passes in each of the last three games – but he also rolled against three mediocre teams.

– CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

Both teams are on a three-game winning streak, both are playing well, and both are looking to this as the moment to make a big statement in the Big 12 title chase.

At home, the Texas defense will continue to be strong enough, QB Sam Ehlinger will get over a few off games by being a bit more consistent down the field while also relying on the ground attack – freshman Bijan Robinson will be effective – and Texas will be on the doorstep of getting a spot in the Big 12 Championship.

Prediction

Iowa State 41, Texas 38

Moneyline (ML)

Iowa State (-257) is too steep at this price, although the Cyclones should be able to pull it out at home. Still, while they’re nearly a touchdown favorite, this one really could go either way.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Iowa State to win would return a profit of $3.90.

Against the Spread (ATS)

TEXAS (+6.5, -106) is ranked in the Top 20 for a reason. Between QB Sam Ehlinger and WR Devin Duvernay, this offense can roll up a lot of points and hang with anyone. Iowa State (-6.5, -115) also sports a high-powered offense, led by QB Brock Purdy. Remember, though, the Longhorns are 14-2 straight up in this series, and 6-1 in their seven trips to I-State.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER (65.5, -115) is the play, although you’ll be betting against all of the trends. The under is 38-16 in the past 54 for Texas against winning teams, while going 46-20 in the past 66 Big 12 battles. The under is also 19-9-2 in the past 30 for Iowa State and 7-2-1 in the past 10 against winning teams. However, both of these offenses are explosive, and the Longhorns defense is very giving.

Why Texas Will Win

All of a sudden, the Iowa State secondary has gone bye-bye.

To be fair, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma can throw the ball a little bit, but after a strong first seven games of giving up yards and keeping the big plays to a minimum, the Cyclones are getting bombed on.

Both the Sooners and Cowboys averaged way over ten yards per throw, and ISU lost both games.

Sam Ehlinger and the Texas passing game can do a little bit of everything right, and it’s about to get helped by an Iowa State secondary that’s letting just about everyone hit 70% of their passes.

No problems there – Ehlinger was nearly flawless against Kansas State after saving the day against Kansas a few weeks earlier – averaging over nine yards per throw in both games.

Mostly due to Ehlinger’s dual-threat abilities, Texas is the best in the Big 12 and fourth in the nation in third down conversions. The ability to keep the chains moving is helping to overcome a whole slew of massive problems, like …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Iowa State Will Win

Iowa State’s secondary might be having a whole slew of issues, but it’s holding the Longhorns’ beer.

Texas is getting roasted for well over 230 yards per game be everyone – Rice being the lone exception – giving up two touchdown passes or more in every game and getting ripped for way over eight yards per throw.

Iowa State’s Brock Purdy continues to make a big push to be Second Team All-Big 12 behind Mr. Hurts. He almost pulled the Cyclones out of the fire last week with five touchdown passes in a wild comeback attempt against Oklahoma – falling short on a failed two-point conversion try.

Outside of the loss to Oklahoma State – throwing three picks – he’s been able to limit the mistakes while pushing the offense in game after game. The O might sometimes take a little time off during games, but in the end, it’ll roll for close to 300 yards through the air.

It’ll have no problems doing that this week.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

Purdy had the worst game in his short career last year against the Longhorns – throwing for 130 yards in the 24-10 loss. That’s not happening this time around.

Texas is having real problems thanks to that defense that’s just not coming up with enough key stops. At home, Iowa State breaks the two game losing streak in a wild firefight that should come down to whoever has the ball last.

Brock will otutduel Sam.
