One day, these tight losses are going to turn into decisive wins. One day, Iowa State will begin their reign as a football powerhouse. That day is this Saturday.
Right now: 1-5
Iowa State travels to Austin to face a Texas squad that is far from flawless. In four of their five games this year, Texas has allowed 40+ points. To see something as holey as the Texas defense, you’d have to go to the Vatican. Iowa State wins 77-76. Charlie Strong is given a “Kirk Ferentz” 10-year contract extension for “signs of improvement” due to the fact that Texas loses by 23 fewer points to Iowa State in 2016 than they did in 2015.
