Questionable game-management decisions sink No. 17 Texas against No. 13 Iowa State in 23-20 loss

Sam Ehlinger was all alone once again.

On the sideline of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, the senior quarterback was left despondent after he watched junior kicker Cameron Dicker miss a 57-yard field goal as time expired and his home career ended with the No. 17 Texas Longhorns falling to the No. 13 Iowa State Cyclones in a 23-20 loss.

On Twitter, Colin Cowherd put it simply — “The Texas Longhorns should never lose to Iowa State in football.”

Cowherd’s take is not unfamiliar, though. When Texas lost to Iowa State in 2010, a Cyclones team with Tom Herman as the offensive coordinator, Longhorns defensive tackle Kheeston Randall made a similar statement.
