Texas beats Iowa State 17-7

Three interceptions from Cyclone’s quarterback Jacob Park and a pair of calls by the officiating crew sunk the hopes of Iowa State. Texas fumbled a kickoff but officials ruled that the runner was down before he lost control of the ball. Five seconds later the Cyclones took a fumbled backward pass into the end zone that was the subsequently overturned due to the ball going forward before the fumble. Both the Longhorns and Cyclones had struggles moving the ball. Of the 13 drives in the first half, there were seven punts, three turnovers and only two scoring drives. Iowa State couldn’t get anything going right for them on the ground with sophomore David Montgomery only managing 35 yards. UT quarterback Shane Buechele threw for 171 yards and a touchdown while completing passes to 11 different receivers. Next week the Longhorns host Kansas State while the Cyclones travel to Norman to face the Sooners.
