Iowa State easily handled BYU in a 45-13 victory during Week 11. The Cyclones have won four of their previous five games.

Iowa State vs. Texas predictions

Longhorns Wire: Texas 28, Iowa State 24

Joey Hickey writes, "Iowa State has been a thorn in Texas’ side for four seasons despite the Longhorns earning a narrow victory last year. That said, a win for Texas all but clinches the Longhorns’ place in the Big 12 title game. Texas should go all out to secure a victory. They win another a close one."

Winner and Whiners: Iowa State will cover the spread

Ben Hayes writes, "Iowa State is well-coached, which is why they didn't implode after starting the season at 2-3, which included a defeat to Ohio. Iowa State has won four of their last five games. This will not be an easy win for Texas on the road."

Des Moines Register: Iowa State 27, Texas 24

Randy Peterson writes, "Iowa State has beaten Texas three of the most recent four times the teams have met at Jack Trice Stadium, so there’s that. The Longhorns are knee-deep in the College Football Playoff chase, so there’s that, too. If this game was played any other time than at night at Jack Trice Stadium, I’d probably say Texas wins. For this game, though, I like the Cyclones under the lights and fireworks on Senior Night. I like Becht having his best game, against a defense that’s allowed 247.0 passing yards a game."

FanSided: Points will be at a premium

Reed Wallach writes, "The Longhorns are below the national average in terms of explosive play rate and 46th in success rate. Now, the team has a quarterback still working his way back from a shoulder injury and lost its starting running back. Iowa State's 3-3-5 defense is great at limiting big plays and forcing teams to go the length of the field.

"I believe this game can become a defensive struggle under the lights in Ames and play on Iowa State's terms. With that being said, I'd prefer to take the under than the side."

ESPN: Texas has a 78.4% chance to win on the road
