AUSTIN — After Chuba Hubbard scored his first touchdown of the game, Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” played through the speakers.
Through the first half of an intense Big 12 matchup at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, the Oklahoma State and Texas football teams have followed the song’s message.
The Longhorns are clinging to a 21-20 lead at halftime. The Cowboys’ run game couldn’t carry them as it has earlier this season, but they capitalized on an opportunity after Texas’ Jake Smith muffed a punt. OSU capped a four-play drive with Hubbard’s 1-yard rush into the end zone, and kicker Matt Ammendola’s PAT put the Cowboys only one point behind the Longhorns.
