Cowboys Aim for Close Battle vs. Top Oregon | Oregon Ducks Football News

Oklahoma State’s quest for its first win under new coach Eric Morris heats up this Saturday against top-ranked Oregon — a team now in the Big Ten and undefeated, fresh off a College Football Playoff appearance. Last year’s blowout loss looms large, but fans are banking on a much tighter, more competitive game this time around. The Cowboys aim to improve dramatically on offense, especially with a balanced run game and smarter play-calling, while defensively they’ll unleash pressure on Oregon’s Dante Moore to force turnovers. Quarterback Drew Mestemaker is expected to rebound from his shaky debut, protected better and firing downfield with more efficiency. With Oregon showing signs of vulnerability and OSU sharpening its turnover game, a hard-fought battle — and maybe even two critical takeaways — could keep Stillwater alive in the national conversation.
