AUSTIN, Texas -- After a month of losing on the road, Texas desperately needed something good to happen at home. For the players, and for head coach Charlie Strong.They got it in a rough-around-the-edges 27-6 win over Iowa State on Saturday night behind a big third quarter and a defense that finally showed some life.Shane Buechele passed for 296 yards and two touchdowns as the Longhorns snapped a three-game losing streak. Buechele threw scoring strikes of 37 yards to Jerrod Heard and 75 yards and Devin Duvernay in the third after the Longhorns high-powered offense managed just a single field goal in the first half and trailed 6-3.Three straight road losses and a defense that ranks among the worst in the country had fueled intense speculation that Strongs job is on the line in his third season. He has two years left on a guaranteed five-year contract that pays him more than $5 million per season.The win snapped a 14-game losing streak when Texas (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) trailed at halftime.Coach Strong would tell you right now dont go play for him, but we do, Heard said.Texas played its best defensive game of the season. Strong took over defensive play-calling two weeks ago and the Longhorns responded with eight sacks against Iowa State, containing a Cyclones offense that was averaging 39 points over the previous three games.The difference was we believed in ourselves and made plays. Had fun, defensive end Breckyn Hager said.DOnta Foreman rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown for Texas, his seventh game in a row with at least 100 yards.Joel Lanning passed for 140 yards for Iowa State (1-6, 0-4).TAKEAWAYSIowa State: The Cyclones collapse came early this week. Iowa State lost upset bids with fourth-quarter meltdowns the previous two weeks, but were undone this week by the Longhorns big-strike touchdowns in the third.They wore us out, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. We did a really good job against the run in the first half. Their adjustment was to go to the passing game.Texas: A big sigh of relief for Strong. Its arguably his biggest win because he simply couldnt afford to lose. Now he has to string together some more. Texas has yet to win more than three straight games under Strong and the Longhorns go back on the road for two of their next three games.`We want to be undefeated at home. Now we have to play better on the road, Strong said. Our defense, they finally stepped up. The whole team. I said, `Challenge yourself. If you think you are a good football team, go perform.FOREMAN ROLLINGThe Texas running back is pounding his way through the Longhorns record book. His seven consecutive 100 yard games ranks second in school history, trailing only former Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbells 11.DEEP STRIKEBuechele, a freshman, has eight touchdown passes for 29 yards or longer this season.I was nervous myself when it was being 6-3, Strong said. But I know this our offense is so explosive were going to go score ... It takes a little time and well hit a home run, then boom, well hit another one.UP NEXTIowa State: The Cyclones are off next week, then host Kansas State on Oct. 29.Texas: The Longhorns play at Kansas State next Saturday.

Hampshire 398 for 9 (McManus 117*, Wheater 59, Ervine 52, Footitt 3-62) trail Surrey 637 for 7 dec by 239 runsScorecard In situations like today at the Ageas Bowl, both sides go through their own toil. Surrey begin looking to whittle away 18 more chances. Hampshires batsmen preparing to concentrate on and forget each delivery. Ticking off the arrears from the start of play wouldnt work: you can lose your way counting down from 564.But with 15 minutes gone, both overnight batsmen had perished to the part-time leg spin of Dom Sibley. With Zafar Ansari absent from the field with a back injury - Surrey are awaiting the results of the scan - and with their batsmen relaying to their spinners that turn was available from wide, Gareth Batty gave the ball to Sibley to get spin into the left-handers. Ryan McLaren was trapped with the days first ball before Tom Alsop drove loosely to Jason Roy at first slip.That Surrey had made early inroads was an unexpected bonus. But they had prepared for a long slog. Before they took the field, coach Michael Di Venuto implored persistence, patience and other virtues that come in handy when trench work is on the horizon. I may have thrown in a few swear words there, too.For a while, it looked like they might just get away with grass stains and the odd scraped joint, as wickets fell at quick enough intervals to keep them on track. Adam Wheater and Sean Ervine put on 102 for the fifth wicket - Wheater going to his fifty with three pristinely timed fours through the off side in one Stuart Meaker over - but he chipped Mark Footitt to extra cover 10 minutes before lunch, giving the Surrey attack an unexpected aperitif.They came out in good voice after lunch, reminding Hampshire keeper Lewis McManus that this is where the grown-ups play. Batty stuck himself and Aaron Finch in front of the bat to ramp up the pressure. It told.In the midst of perhaps the spell of the match from Meaker, who had started getting some reverse swing thanks to Jade Dernbach, on as 12th man, relentlessly working on the ball between deliveries, beat McManus on the outside and inside edge.McManus, with just one off 16 balls, finally managed to push into the off side for what he thought was a single. Ervine tried to tell him othherwise, but McManus called through, as Rory Burns gathered cleanly from cover point and threw down the stumps at the keepers end.dddddddddddd Ervine never stood a chance.Gareth Berg came and went for an enterprising 40 which, in the grand scheme of the game, amounted to some glancing counter blows. When he was bowled by Batty, McManus still only had 14 from 49 balls and was playing like someone with five runs in his previous three innings this season.It was at that point that his innings changed. He shedded what timidness he had carried onto the field and began finding the boundary. The 50 came up in 93 balls, but as the day wore on, he embraced the challenge of seeing how far he could push the opposition. Batty was sent into the stands over wide mid-on.In July of last year, he held out against Durham, batting for more than 50 overs in the fourth innings of the match, with No. 11 Mason Crane for company. He drew on that experience when Brad Wheal came to the crease, at first shielding him and then, when satisfied that Wheals technique could stand the test of a now wilting Surrey attack and the fourth batting point secured, had a dip for personal glory.He was on 65 when Wheal came to the crease and evidently did not want to leave himself at the mercy of his partner. Shots were played: Sibley heaved over square leg and then dabbed fine, to the left of the keeper Ben Foakes.There was a wonder if he would make it to three figures when Meaker returned to give him a once over again. But having got right behind each delivery and with a bit of extra pluck to summon on, he rode the bounce of one behind square on the leg side to move to his maiden first-class century off his 171st ball.He walked off unbeaten, Wheal in tow, having spent more than four hours watching the overs tick down and the runs tick up. Elated post match, palms drenched from the sticky work and the hand shakes of every Surrey fielder, he could not quite remember just how many Hampshire were behind still: 239, if youre counting.Tomorrow brings similar challenges. But as both sides showed today, neither are shy of the work required.
