Oklahoma State Big 12 football and soccer competitions

Overview

Oklahoma State University athletics recently engaged in Big 12 competition involving football and women’s soccer. In football, the No. 18 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, holding a three-game winning streak, hosted the UCF Knights at Boone Pickens Stadium on October 10, 2026. This Week 6 matchup marked the first time UCF played in Stillwater.

Oklahoma State entered the contest with a 3-1 record under head coach Eric Morris. As one of five teams in the Big 12 without a conference loss, the Cowboys aimed to maintain their standing for conference championship contention. UCF arrived with a 3-2 record under Scott Frost, noting a history of winning previous meetings against Oklahoma State despite a streak of 11 consecutive away losses.

The Cowboys secured a 42-28 victory over the Knights. Although the game was tied 21-21 at halftime, Oklahoma State outscored UCF 21-7 in the second half. Quarterback Drew Mestemaker led the offense, and safety Evan Jackson contributed a defensive touchdown via a scoop-and-score. Head coach Eric Morris noted that while the team faced challenges with the run game and early tackling issues, they demonstrated the grit necessary to overcome UCF’s clock-management strategy. The win moves the Cowboys to a 4-1 record as they prepare for their upcoming matchup against Houston.

In women’s soccer, the Oklahoma State Cowgirls were scheduled to host No. 12 Texas Tech before traveling to face UCF.
