- Oklahoma State ended a 21-game FBS losing streak with a 39-31 stunner over No. 6 Oregon on Saturday, outgaining the Ducks 554-281 despite being 23.5-point underdogs
- Drew Mestemaker, one of 88 new players on the Cowboys' roster, threw for 317 yards and two TDs and rushed for 109 yards and a score, bouncing back from a poor opener
- Coach Eric Morris picked up his first victory at Oklahoma State after the Cowboys went 1-11 last year and lost their opener to Tulsa 24-10
- Oregon's Dante Moore, who opted to return for his senior year over the NFL draft, finished 14-of-21 for 191 yards as the preseason No. 2 Ducks fell to 1-1
- Devon Jackson returned an interception 96 yards for a touchdown and Sam Keltner kicked four field goals to seal Oklahoma State's 31st straight home-opener win
Why it matters: Oregon, the preseason No. 2 and a College Football Playoff frontrunner, now sits at 1-1 after losing as 23.5-point road favorites — a result that deals a serious blow to the Ducks' national title hopes. For Oklahoma State, which went 1-11 last year and overhauled most of its roster, this is the signature win that legitimizes the Eric Morris rebuild.
