At Jack Trice Stadium, the Texas Longhorns showcased a determined effort in their recent game against the Iowa State Cyclones. Despite falling short by two points, the Longhorns' offense was able to accumulate a total of 322 yards. The passing game contributed significantly with quarterback play resulting in 273 yards through the air and three touchdowns, completing 22 out of 40 attempts.

The receiving corps played an integral role as they amassed all of their passing yards after catch, indicating strong performances after initial receptions. A notable statistic from this encounter was that every red zone opportunity was capitalized upon by the Longhorns; they had a perfect success rate on both red zone and goal-to-go situations.

On special teams, Texas kickers ensured that half of their kickoffs resulted in touchbacks while maintaining an average kickoff distance that reached into the end zone on every occasion.

Defensively, Texas managed to secure one interception during the game but could not return it for positive yardage. They also recorded one sack and six tackles for loss throughout four quarters of play.

Penalties were relatively controlled with only six infractions costing them fifty-five yards; however, this did not significantly hinder their overall performance.
