Oklahoma State’s Upset Victory Ends Oregon’s Winning Streak

1 week ago 0

Oregon’s impressive winning streak met an unexpected halt as Oklahoma State achieved a 39-31 victory, marking the first major upset of the season. This victory ended the Cowboys’ long-standing 21-game losing streak against FBS opponents and provided Coach Eric Morris his initial win with the team. Simultaneously, Oregon saw its 41-game winning streak against unranked teams come to a close.

The triumph in Stillwater spurred an unforgettable celebration for Oklahoma State, especially following their 1-11 record last season and beginning this year with a loss to Tulsa, finishing 24-10. Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker played a key role in the upset, throwing for 317 yards and two touchdowns, adding 109 rushing yards and another touchdown.

Oregon, who entered the season as the No. 2 preseason team, appeared vulnerable after a hard-fought win over Boise State at home. The loss significantly affects their national title aspirations. The Ducks were heavily favored in this game, making the defeat even more surprising.

Oklahoma State supporters filled the field in celebration after the victory. Mestemaker’s performance was particularly notable, recovering from a disappointing season opener. His decisive 10-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter secured the lead for the Cowboys.

Running back Caleb Hawkins also contributed, showcasing strong performance during the game. Looking ahead, Oregon will host Portland State on Friday night, while Oklahoma State will face off against Murray State next Saturday.
