In two of the past four meetings between the heralded Texas football program and the conference foe Oklahoma State Cowboys were decided by just two points in battles at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. When the game between Texas and Oklahoma State is played in Austin, current head coach Tom Herman and former head coach Charlie Strong tended to hang around for a long time.
It was just the efforts of head coach Mike Gundy and his stingy Oklahoma State squad to hang around for just long enough to claim what were pretty luck victories in the end to come away unscathed off the Forty Acres in 2015 and 2017.
