In less than a week, the Texas Longhorns will host the Iowa State Cyclones on senior night. There was no game last week for the home team as the Jayhawks game was postponed until Dec. 12 due to COVID-19 issues on the Kansas side. The Cyclones throttled Kansas State in their game over the weekend 45-0. Now the two teams will play to put themselves in the driver’s seat in the race to the Big 12 Championship game.

These two teams have met 17 times in their brief history with the Longhorns holding the 14-3 advantage. Iowa State won last year in Ames, 23-21. The Longhorns have never lost two consecutive games to this team. The arrow is pointing up for the burnt orange in this one. In Sam Ehlinger‘s final game at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, can the team help send him off on a positive note?
