But it wasn’t the alma mater. It wasn’t “Ride ‘Em, Cowboys.” It was something rarely heard from OSU.
“10-0! 10-0!”
The Cowboy football team stood arm in arm, showered with cheers from the few faithful who had traveled to Ames to watch them play Iowa State.
Minutes earlier, Jeff Carr caught a pass from J.W. Walsh and raced into the end zone to give the Cowboys their first lead of the game. Under five minutes remained.
It wasn’t the first time the Cowboys trailed by 17 points this season. It wasn’t the first time they were completely abused in the first half, only to put together a brilliant second half and win.
