AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Texas Longhorns are feeling good again.

They've won three in a row, quarterback David Ash is coming off his best game of the season and fan discontent with coach Mack Brown has cooled a bit with a 31-22 win at Texas Tech.

Even the much-maligned defense has a shot of confidence.

How long will it last? Next up for No. 19 Texas (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) is Iowa State (5-4, 2-4), the team that ripped the heart out of the Longhorns' season in 2010.

Brown said Monday he'll remind his team of how the Cyclones caught Texas in a very similar situation two years ago. For their part, the players say they'll work hard to avoid any letdown against the Cyclones.
