Malcolm Brown leads the Longhorns with 34 yards on the ground, but Foswhitt Whittaker has the 16-yard touchdown run.
For Iowa State, quarterback Steele Jantz has put the ball in the air 22 times, connected on 12 of them and put one in the hands of the Longhorns. Are the Cyclones ready to withstand the Longhorns in the second half?
