Oklahoma State Knocks Off No. 6 Oregon 39-31 for First Major Upset of the Season
Oklahoma State outgained Oregon 559-281 and turned a late fourth-down stop into a 39-31 win as Dan Lanning drew criticism.
On Saturday, Oklahoma State University Cowboys upset No. 6 Oregon 39-31 at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, marking the first win of the season for head coach Eric Morris.
Seeking redemption after a loss to Tulsa, the Cowboys entered the game carrying a 12-game losing streak dating back to last season. Oklahoma State's desperation contrasted sharply with Oregon's undefeated start.
Quarterback Drew Mestemaker completed 26 of 43 passes for 317 yards and two touchdowns, adding 109 rushing yards and a score to dismantle the Ducks' defense throughout the matchup.
Fans stormed the field at the stadium after the final whistle, celebrating as Oklahoma State became the first team in college football history to snap a 10-plus-game losing streak against a top-10 opponent.
As the Ducks fall to 1-1, head coach Dan Lanning faces mounting criticism following the road loss. Oregon will attempt to bounce back on a short week at Autzen Stadium on Friday, September 18 against FCS Portland State.
