Iowa State vs Texas Prediction & Pick
Iowa State has beaten Texas three straight times. Now you get inflated points to back the Cycl ones, who have lost three straight close contests by 7 points or less to Big 12 foes. The Cyclones are last in the league in rushing averaging just 106 yards per game. That's a concern, but the Cyclones defense has been nearly dominant in allowing a league-low 91 rushing yards per game and 186 passing yards per game. Iowa State QB Hunter Dekkers is capable with more than 1,500 yards passing and 11 touchdowns.
Texas is worthy of their ranking and clearly on the upswing. The Longhorns power rating is even higher and QB Quinn Ewers returned from injury last week to pass for 289 yards and 4 touchdowns. The Longhorns also have a big time running back in Bijan Robinson, who will counted on to carry a big load against a stout Cyclones defensive front seven.
