What to Know

A Big 12 battle is on tap between the Texas Longhorns and the Iowa State Cyclones at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium. With a combined 944 yards of offense in their previous games, we can expect a fast-paced contest.

Texas was hampered by 100 penalty yards against the Kansas State Wildcats last week, but luckily for them that wasn't the tale of the game. Texas came out on top in a nail-biter against Kansas State, sneaking past 27-24. The victory came about thanks to a strong surge after the the first quarter to overcome a 14 to nothing deficit.

Meanwhile, Iowa State had victory within their grasp but couldn't quite capture it as the squad lost 42-41 to the Oklahoma Sooners. Iowa State might have lost, but man -- QB Brock Purdy was a total machine. He passed for 282 yards and five TDs on 30 attempts. Purdy's performance made up for a slower matchup against the Oklahoma State Cowboys three weeks ago. Not surprisingly, Purdy's sharp performance set his single-game passing touchdown high for the season.

Texas' win lifted them to 6-3 while Iowa State's loss dropped them down to 5-4. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Cyclones rank eighth in the league when it comes to passing yards per game, with 323.2 on average. Less enviably, the Longhorns are seventh worst in the nation in passing yards allowed per game, with 299.6 on average. So the Texas squad has its work cut out for it.
