Summary
- Drew Mestemaker led Oklahoma State to a stunning 39-31 win.
- The Cowboys outgained heavily favored Oregon significantly.
- Fans tore down a goalpost after the historic upset victory.
In a dramatic upset, the Oklahoma State Cowboys defeated the No. 6 Oregon Ducks 39-31 on Saturday, marking a significant victory for head coach Eric Morris. Quarterback Drew Mestemaker delivered a standout performance, contributing 426 total yards and three touchdowns to secure the win.
The Cowboys' defense held the heavily favored Ducks to just 281 total yards, a stark contrast to Oklahoma State's own 554 yards gained. This impressive performance ended a 21-game skid against FBS opponents and delighted fans who rushed the field, tearing down a goalpost in celebration.
Coach Morris highlighted the team's intense preparation following a difficult previous season. The victory, achieved despite a 90-minute rain delay, erased the sting of a season-opening loss and signaled a hopeful new chapter for the program against a national title contender.
Oregon, which had been favored by 23 1/2 points, suffered a major blow to its championship aspirations. Quarterback Dante Moore threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns but was largely contained by the Cowboys' defense. The Ducks will now host Portland State next Friday.
