Oklahoma State stuns No. 6 Oregon, ending 21-game FBS skid - ESPN

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.
