Oklahoma State Snaps 21-Game FBS Losing Streak, Stuns No. 6 Oregon
Oklahoma State secured the first major upset of the 2026 season on Saturday, defeating No. 6 Oregon 39-31. This victory notably ended the Cowboys' 21-game losing streak against FBS opponents.
STILLWATER, Okla. -- 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 23½ 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.
