Road Trip to Stillwater: The 69-3 Encore
Saturday, Sept 12 | Boone Pickens Stadium, Stillwater | Last: W 69-3 (2025)
Key Matchups
The Read
The vibe: Oregon should win this game. The only real question is whether the Ducks make it clean or make 9 AM feel illegal.
What makes it weird: Oklahoma State rebuilt with roughly 90 newcomers. Nobody, including Oklahoma State, entirely knows what this team is yet.
The question: Can Oregon make this boring before Stillwater makes it interesting?
Opinion, clearly labeled. Everything below this block is sourced and dated.
Oklahoma State in 2026
Oklahoma State is 0-1, and the opener is more complicated than the score. They lost 24-10 at Tulsa as a 13.5-point favorite and turned it over four times, which is what beat them. Their defense was the good half of that night: Tulsa converted 1 of 11 third downs. Eric Morris arrived from North Texas after Mike Gundy was fired three games into 2025, and he rebuilt the roster around roughly 90 newcomers, including the North Texas trio of quarterback Drew Mestemaker, running back Caleb Hawkins and receiver Wyatt Young. The Cowboys carry the longest home-opener winning streak in the country at 30 games, and this is the first time Oregon has ever played in Stillwater.

The Call: our Oregon vs Oklahoma State score prediction
1 for 1 on winners. 10 points off on the scores.Oklahoma State is in year one of a full teardown: 1-11 in 2025, a new head coach, and a roster rebuilt around 21 players Eric Morris brought with him from North Texas. Oregon's second and third string would compete in most conferences. The road-game tax is what keeps this from being 69-3 again.

Do not have ESPN?
ESPN is a cable channel, so an antenna will not get you this one. You need a service that carries it: Fubo does, and so do YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV and Sling. We have no affiliate relationship with any of them, so pick on price.

What to Wear
Oregon Athletics is asking fans to wear green for this one. If you need it, here is Oregon gear in that color on Amazon. The official Duck Store stocks it too and the school gets the money there, which is the better call if you do not mind paying a bit more.
