5 takeaways: Team meeting 'invaluable' for Texas; Longhorns focused on winning away games

Head coach Charlie Strong and several players met with the media Monday for the team's weekly press conference. The Longhorns discussed their 27–6 win over Iowa State and their upcoming contest at Kansas State.

Here are five takeaways from Monday's media availability.

Defense looks to build on performance

Texas' defense looked like a different unit in the team's victory against the Cyclones.

The Longhorns held junior quarterback Joel Lanning and company to just six points and 280 yards after entering the contest as the conference's worst defense in points allowed.

"On defense we were able to make some good stops and guys were able to make some plays," Strong said.
