As the Iowa State Cyclones prepare to face the Texas Longhorns at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and statistics will play a significant role. The Cyclones have displayed a pattern of close contests in their recent matchups, which could be indicative of their performance on game day.
In their last outing against the Wildcats, the Cyclones narrowly missed victory with a final score of 10-9. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their defense racked up three sacks and forced one fumble. Their punting game was strong with an average of 44 yards per punt and three placed inside the 20-yard line. However, they failed to score any touchdowns and had to rely solely on field goals for points.
The previous week saw another tight game against the Jayhawks that ended in an 11-14 defeat for Iowa State. The offense managed to put together more yardage with 313 total yards but struggled with turnovers having two interceptions and one lost fumble. Their red zone efficiency was at fifty percent which they will look to improve upon.
Against Baylor Bears before that, Iowa State scored more freely but still fell short by seven points (24-31). They showed better third-down efficiency converting over fifty percent of attempts but penalties were an issue racking up seventy-eight penalty yards.
While these games highlight some areas for improvement such as red zone conversions and minimizing turnovers, they also show resilience in tight situations which could be crucial when facing Texas Longhorns on their home turf.
