Oklahoma State vs. No. 6 Oregon: Live Updates

In this story:
Today, Mike Gundy and the Oklahoma State Cowboys are set to face off against the No. 6 Oregon Ducks, who could very well be their steepest competition all season.
The Ducks are heavily favored to win the game, owning what is likely the better two-way product with high-octane offense and stingy defense. And the game taking place in Eugene, OR, helps the Ducks' standing. Still, having convincingly taken down UT Martin to start their season 1-0, the Cowboys can't be counted out entirely.
Starting quarterback Hauss Hejny suffered an injury in OSU's opener, meaning the Cowboys will be rolling with backup Zane Flores Saturday.

You can follow along below for live updates on Oklahoma State and Oregon's afternoon matchup:
First Quarter: Oregon 20, Oklahoma State 0
Oregon is set to receive the first-half kickoff. OSU's opening kick went out of bounds, setting the Ducks up with favorable field position.
On just the second play of the game, Oregon back Noah Whittington found a gap up the middle, breezing by OSU's linebacker and secondary for an untouched 59-yard touchdown run. The Pokes followed up the disappointing opening sequence with a quick three-and-out.
On the first play of their second drive, Ducks' QB Dante Moore unloaded a bomb for Dakorien Moore, who would go 65 yards through the air for a quick second touchdown to make it a two-score game. The Ducks' two-point conversion would fail, however.
Around the nine-minute mark, Oklahoma State finally saw positive momentum in stopping the Ducks on fourth down and four.
The Cowboys finally picked up a first down after Flores threw across his body and fit the ball through a tight window, but he was run down on an attempted scramble on the next third down. Two chunk plays on the ground would see Oregon's third first-quarter touchdown, signaling a potentially long day for the Pokes with five full minutes left in the opening frame.
OSU finally strung together a series of first downs as the quarter expired, rattling off a nine-play, 57-yard drive.
Second Quarter: Oregon 41, Oklahoma State 3
The Pokes continued to run well on power plays, but ultimately stalled out right at the goal line. A Logan Ward field goal would put them on the board.
After churning the ball to midfield, Moore would air it out again, this time to Malik Benson for 42 yards and a touchdown to make it 27-3. Moore's arm talent has been apparent through the first half, especially on the throw to Benson.
The Ducks would see their fifth touchdown of the first half on a Dakorien Moore 20-yard run, which capped off a 60-yard drive that featured both ground and air game. The play would help them esclipse 200 yards rushing in the first half, and near 400 yards of offense in total.
Oregon again saw a lengthy drive to end the first half, rushing it in with just 11 seconds on the clock to make it 41-3 before the break.
Third Quarter: Oregon 69, Oklahoma State 3
After shutting OSU out, the Ducks put together a 10-play, 63-yard drive capped by an 11-yard touchdown pass from Moore. Oregon's backup kicker would shove the PAT through to make it 48-3.
Dante Moore's day finished midway through the third quarter. The Oregon slinger finished with 266 yards, completing 16 of 21 throws. He finished with three touchdowns, all through the air, averaging 12.7 yards per throw.
The Cowboys were able to stave off a 57-yard field goal from Oregon, returning the ball to their own 19.
The Ducks continued to pour it on with backups in, as Jordon Davison capped off a 50-plus yard drive with a one-yard rushing touchdown to make it 55-3. Oregon has totaled 601 yards of offense to OSU's 134. Soon after, Oregon's Jerry Mixon would steal Zane Flores short-pass, taking it to the house for 26 yards.
Nearly miraculously, Flores was again intercepted just plays later, this time with Peyton Woodyard scoring it for the Ducks. The PAT would make it 69-3, Oregon.
Final: Oregon 69, Oklahoma State 3
Both teams would go scoreless in the fourth quarter.
