Texas 26, Iowa State 24
Bijan Robinson vs. Breece Hall did not disappoint. Robinson had the bigger start, with 82 yards in the first half, to just 27 for Hall. But Hall came back in the second half, and brought the Cyclones back with him, from a 20-7 halftime deficit to a 21-20 4th quarter lead. The Longhorns scored early in the 4th, but missed the 2 point conversion. The big swing was facing 4th and 4 from the Texas 22 with just over 6 minutes left, and lined up to go for it, Iowa State took a false start penalty, and then elected to kick the field goal. They never got back in field goal range. Hall did finish with 163 yards and 2 touchdowns, to 148 for Robinson.
