Texas a two touchdown favorite over Cyclones

Vegas doesn’t care that Iowa State beat Texas 24-0 last season in Ames.



Following another fourth quarter Cyclone collapse on Saturday, Iowa State has opened as a 13.5 point underdog for next Saturday’s 6 p.m. kick (Cyclones.tv) at Texas.

The Longhorns have lost three games in a row after season opening victories over Notre Dame and UTEP.

The Cyclones have held fourth quarter double-digit leads over Baylor and Oklahoma State only to come away with two disappointing losses as the outcomes.
