No. 7 Texas at Iowa State

The season is quickly coming to an end, with the No. 7 Texas traveling to Ames, Iowa, for their final road game of the year against Iowa State.

Before the season began, the Longhorns hoped to at least end up in the conference championship game. After all, it’s Steve Sarkisian’s third year as the head coach of Texas and his team needed to take the next step.

Texas has a chance to clinch a spot in the Big 12 Championship game with a victory on Saturday and will be one step closer to a shot at the College Football Playoff.

Unfortunately for the Longhorns, winning out doesn’t guarantee a shot in the playoff. Texas will need help from other teams to advance, but they must focus on one week at a time and hope the dominoes fall in the right place.

Here are the numbers comparing Texas and Iowa State this season.
