It wasn’t pretty for the Texas Longhorns, but a win is a win, especially against an Iowa State Cyclones team that’s beaten you on the last three outings. So what is there to clean up following the home win to notch their fifth win of the season? Through the first four games, Texas was 15/45 on the money down for an abysmal 33% conversion rate. Through the last three games, including the 6-13 outing against Iowa State, Texas is converting 56% of its third downs. On the first two drives of the second half with an opportunity to go up three scores on Iowa State, Texas failed to convert on 3rd and 9 and 3rd and 10, respectively, and kept the door open for Iowa State.
