5 Quick Thoughts: Tom Herman’s Texas comes up short one last time
The season came down to a 57-yard field goal attempt by Cameron Dicker, which couldn't have been what Tom Herman envisioned for the decisive moment of his time at Texas.
Gameplan: Herman’s big stand in Austin
Ever since Matt Campbell arrived and turned Iowa State into a legitimate program, Texas’ showdown with the Cyclones has taken on massive importance at the end of the year when it comes up on the schedule.
Gameplan: Preparing for the final stretch
There’s some potential for trouble in the postponement of Texas’ road trip to Lawrence to play the Jayhawks. Three different troubling scenarios now loom for the Longhorns. Scenario one sees Oklahoma beat Oklahoma State in Bedlam on Saturday night and then each win out, Texas beats Iowa State and Kansas State, and then all they have to do in order to enter a three-way tie atop the standings is go on the road the week before the Big 12 Championship Game and beat the Jayhawks.

Gameplan: Is Texas finally breaking through on offense?
Texas has now escaped two of the most dangerous games on the schedule in consecutive weeks. The road trip to Stillwater was the obvious test for the season. Mike Gundy’s Cowboys this season often field the largest share of elite athletes, plus their pass defense and balanced, explosive offense had them undefeated heading into the Texas game. Neal Brown’s West Virginia Mountaineers are less explosive but could still present Texas’ struggling offensive line with a high level defensive front.

Gameplan: How Texas can still make the Big 12 title game
Texas’ win over Oklahoma State was frankly bizarre. When you’re outgained 530 yards to 287 and go 2/15 on third down typically you don’t feel great about your chances of victory. But Texas did win, thanks to four Oklahoma State turnovers, a Longhorn special teams touchdown, and a lot of veteran decision-making and playmaking by Sam Ehlinger.
