Texas players, fans react to Iowa State OL Jarrod Hufford’s comments
Iowa State offensive lineman Jarrod Hufford ruffled the feathers of many Texas fans and players on Tuesday evening.
Hufford spoke with the media ahead of No. 7 Texas’ matchup with Iowa State this week. The left guard didn’t hold back, stating the Longhorns don’t know what is going to be coming for them, that their egos need to be checked, and claiming the Cyclones are going to give them “one heck of a farewell present.”
Texas hasn’t performed well in Ames as of recently, losing four of the last five contests. That could explain some of the confidence in Hufford’s voice. However, this is a different Texas team than years past and Hufford just gave the Longhorns bulletin board material along with extra motivation.
Steve Sarkisian’s squad has everything to play for this week. A win over Iowa State essentially assures Texas a spot in the Big 12 Championship game and of course a College Football Playoff berth is still on the line.
Here’s how Texas fans and players reacted to Hufford’s comments on Tuesday.

Why would any human being antagonize Byron Murphy and T’vondre Sweat in what they already know is a must win game?

Is Iowa State wearing all black on Saturday night or will they actually wear their school colors for their biggest game of the year?

Morning Brew @Horns247: #IowaState senior OG Jarrod Hufford is either going down as a #Cyclones' legend or the guy who got the seventh-ranked #Longhorns to sharpen their focus Saturday night in Ames.https://t.co/RRod2WTEDl

I just saw the Jarrod Hufford comments and I am not sure you want to poke the bear when you have to deal with T'Vondre Sweat all game long. pic.twitter.com/HGb7Gqrx6g
