Overview
- The Cowboys beat No. 6 Oregon 39-31 in Stillwater, a shock win that snapped a long FBS losing streak and handed Eric Morris his first victory at Oklahoma State.
- Quarterback Drew Mestemaker produced a breakout performance, passing for 317 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 109 yards and a score for 426 total yards.
- Mestemaker opened the game with a 75-yard run that Oklahoma State confirmed is the longest quarterback rush in school history and later scored a decisive, airborne 10-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
- Oklahoma State dominated the box score, outgaining Oregon 554 yards to 281 and converting 25 first downs to Oregon’s 12, and national committees named Mestemaker and Morris weekly award winners.
- The upset drew extra attention from a broadcast error that mirrored a highlight of Mestemaker, and the Cowboys now return home to face Murray State on Sept. 19 before entering Big 12 play.
