STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) --- Drew Mestemaker threw for 317 yards and two
touchdowns while rushing for 109 yards and a score, and Oklahoma State ended a
21-game skid against FBS opponents by pulling off the first true stunner of the
2026 season, beating No. 6 Oregon 39-31 on Saturday.
Coach Eric Morris' first victory with the Cowboys won't be forgotten by any of
the delirious fans in Stillwater, particularly after Oklahoma State went 1-11
last season and lost 24-10 to Tulsa in its season opener.
The Ducks (1-1), the preseason No. 2 who looked vulnerable in a season-opening
home win over Boise State, suffered a huge blow to their national title hopes.
Oregon had been favored by 23 1/2 points.
Mestemaker, who played for Morris last season at North Texas, bounced back from
a poor performance in the opener. His 10-yard TD run early in the fourth
quarter gave the Cowboys the lead for good.
