Oklahoma State defeats Oregon 39-31 for Eric Morris first coaching win
Summary

The Oklahoma State Cowboys defeated the Oregon Ducks 39-31 on September 12, 2026, marking the first win for head coach Eric Morris. Played in Stillwater following a lengthy rain delay, the game ended with fans storming the field after Drew Mestemaker knelt to secure the final outcome. The victory provided a significant turn for Oklahoma State, which had not recorded an FBS win since 2024 and opened the current season with a loss to Tulsa. This result follows a lopsided 69-3 defeat to Oregon during their previous meeting last year. The program now shifts focus toward upcoming Big 12 conference play scheduled to begin September 26. Discussion regarding potential disciplinary action from the conference for the field storming remains ongoing due to inconsistent application of league policies regarding stadium security.
