AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – The Texas Longhorns have turned Austin into the road trip everyone wants to make.
Not for the cool bars and live music scene. This is where teams in desperate need of a win go get one.
UCLA did it first, smacking Texas 34-12 on Sept. 25. The Horns were back home for the first time in a month on Saturday and took a 28-21 whipping by Iowa State, a team that had been outscored 120-27 the previous two weeks.
The loss to the Cyclones was more thorough than the final score would suggest. Texas (4-3) turned the ball over four times and trailed 28-6 early in the fourth quarter to a team that ranked No. 112 in total defense and 104th in total offense.
Here comes the scary part for Texas: Explosive Baylor (6-1) comes to town next weekend.
