Oklahoma State prepares for matchup against Oregon Ducks

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are preparing for a high-stakes matchup against the No. 6 Oregon Ducks at Boone Pickens Stadium this Saturday. Following a season-opening loss to Tulsa, the Cowboys (0-1) are looking for redemption against a highly-ranked Oregon squad (1-0).

Head coach Eric Morris addressed several challenges facing the team, including poor execution on third and fourth downs during the Tulsa game. The Cowboys are also dealing with significant roster setbacks, most notably a season-ending lower-leg injury to offensive tackle Jake Sexton. This injury leaves the team without two expected starting offensive tackles to protect quarterback Drew Mestemaker.

Oregon enters the game with a strong offensive profile, averaging 34 points per game, and will be led by quarterback Dante Moore. The upcoming contest follows a 2025 meeting where Oregon defeated Oklahoma State with a score of 69-3.
