Iowa State at Texas 11/21/20

Last meeting: Iowa State defeated Texas 23-21

Head coach Matt Campbell has completely rebuilt this program. In fact, the Cyclones upset the Longhorns in 2019 when Texas came into the matchup as the No. 19 ranked team in the nation.

If you were to ask me to bet on who the dark horse contender for the Big 12 would be, i’d say Iowa State without thinking twice. We consistently expect solid seasons from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas. But Iowa State? They’re on the right path to success, but when will they get there? Or are they already there? Even with the question marks, the Cyclones the potential to surprise many teams this season.
