Oregon DucksOklahoma State Cowboys

The No. 6 Oregon Ducks took a historic loss on the road against the unranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, with quarterback Drew Mestemaker taking three kneel downs to seal a 39-31 victory. In the history of college football, this is the first time a team broke a 12-game losing streak by beating a top-10 ranked opponent.

As the Oklahoma State offense established itself early with a clear connection between Mestemaker and wide receiver Wyatt Young, the Ducks couldn't find any momentum on offense, with a few takeaways from the defense keeping Oregon competitive. Below are three things fans can learn from this historic loss.

No. 1: Oregon's Offensive Line Needs An Adjustment

With just over 50 yards of total offense to end the first quarter, it became clear early on that the Oregon Duck starting offensive line rotation of Ziyare Addison, Trent Ferguson, Iapani Laloulu, Dave Iuli and Fox Crader needs to change.

Crader in particular could not hold the exterior in the second half, leading to pressure on quarterback Dante Moore that sped up his progressions and led to incompletions throughout the match-up. Moore was sacked four times during this game. In the fourth quarter, Crader completely misses a blitzing Cowboys defender during an Oregon attempt to convert a fourth down, helping give the Cowboys back the ball.

With swap-ins from Kendre Harrison, plus Tommy Tofi and Kawika Rogers at the tackle positions, it did not seem to remedy this situation.

No. 2: Oregon's Defensive Line Struggled Even With A'Mauri Washington

Even before senior defensive lineman A’Mauri Washington left the game during the first quarter with an undisclosed injury, the Ducks’ defensive line looked nowhere close to the top position group in the nation preseason evaluations projected. Washington himself was even called offsides early, yielding 16 yards in the first quarter. The Ducks could not get a single sack on Mestemaker, with Oklahoma State's offense finishing the game with 554 total yards (317 in the air, 237 on the ground) and 25 first downs.

Senior defensive lineman Bear Alexander totaled four tackles the entire game, with the early-departing Washington clocking in three total tackles for his limited turf time.

No. 3: The Play Calling Was Head-Scratching

For two internal hires with offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer and defensive coordinator Chris Hampton, it was clear during the game that the play calling hindered what the Ducks were able to accomplish on the field.

On offense, Oregon was 0-3 in fourth down attempts. In the last two-minute drill when sophomore running back Dierre Hill Jr. fumbled the ball sealing Oregon's loss, the Ducks needed 55 yards of gain and instead a pitch-play was called on first down, leading to that fumble. Plus, two delay of game calls during the fourth quarter in Oregon's second-to-last drive showed poor clock management.

Below is a play-by-play breakdown from the game. The latest updates are at the top.

GAMEDAY WEATHER ISSUES

Kickoff was originally scheduled for 9 a.m. PT, but lightning strikes in the area caused players to evacuate the field and fans to be directed towards the concourses. The game officially kicked off 90 minutes later, at 10:30 am PT.

The NCAA's policy calls for suspending play when lightning is detected within eight miles of the stadium. Teams must wait at least 30 minutes without another strike within that radius, followed by a short warmup. Each new strike within 8 miles resets the clock.

The weather forecast according to AccuWeather does not show thunderstorms until 4 p.m. local time, five hours after the Oregon vs. Oklahoma State game was set to kickoff. How the weather will actually impact the playing surface and the actual game remains to be seen, but both the Ducks and Cowboys had their warm-ups interrupted roughly 80 minutes before kickoff.

The heat index values are projected as high as 106 degrees in Stillwater on Saturday. Punishing heat, high humidity and the threat of thunderstorms looms.

Oregon receiver Dakorien Moore isn’t intimidated by the forecast because of his experiences at Duncanville High School in Texas.

“I’m kind of used to the weather, so I kind of know how to handle it,” Moore said. “The summer workouts in high school were way worse than what we’re going to be facing, so I’ll be totally fine.”

PREVIEW

The Cowboys enter their match-up against the Ducks after a 24-10 loss on the road against Tulsa. To be fair, this new era under Morris also comes with 91 new names on the Cowboy's roster, so there's quite a bit of adjusting to account for in little time.

Against Tulsa, the Cowboys showed struggle in moving the ball during short yardage situations (not unlike Oregon's inability against the Broncos to pick up short yardage, especially in fourth down situations). The Cowboys also couldn't seem to recover from the loss of their fifth-year senior left tackle Jacob Sexton, who went down with a season-ending broken leg injury on the teams' first drive.

On the other end of the chain, the Ducks are entering this match-up after a shaky performance against the Boise State Broncos that nevertheless resulted in a win at Autzen Stadium. However, the Ducks' inability to stop the Broncos' run game in the first half, racking up ten penalties for 90 yards in lost yardage, plus a few misjudged punt returns seemed to overshadow some of the highlights.

Running back Jordon Davison led the ground game with 90 rushing yards while wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan finished with 150 yards and one touchdown.

After the win against the Broncos, the ticket prices for the Ducks' trip to Stillwater, Oklahoma took a dive.

Douglas Utu Not Participating In Warm-ups

Douglas Utu, who started for the Ducks against Boise State at the left guard slot on the offensive line, was seen with a wrap and brace on his right knee during warmups. He did not participate during contact warmups with the rest of the offensive line corps, holding his helmet during that portion of warmups.

A Big NFL Turn-out

According to ESPN's Max Olson, "Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort, Falcons GM Ian Cunningham, Falcons president of football Matt Ryan and 20 scouts are in attendance today."

Some of those 20 scouts come from the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Celeveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants, New York Jets, and Seattle Seahawks.

OREGON'S GAME CAPTAINS

WEATHER REPORT

Beyond the Ducks arriving a day earlier than their usual travel schedule to account for the 9 a.m. PT kickoff time, there's also the factor of the Oklahoma heat. According to AccuWeather, the weather will hit a 95 degree high with little relief in the shade, plus "Very warm with some sun, then turning cloudy; a thunderstorm in parts of the area in the afternoon; a hot afternoon for football; stay hydrated."

Oklahoma State, who is dealing with a sold-out crowd, will offer free cold zones located in the West end zone of the concourse level for fans. Complimentary hydration stations are located on the north, south and west sides of the stadium, both on the concourse level and on the upper concourse level.

"When I was at Arizona State, I'm sure I coached in some hot ones. It's a different type of heat. That's the oven heat. In Georgia, I've coached in some really humid ones, and same with Memphis or my time in Texas. So I've certainly been in some hot games," Lanning said in his pregame press conference.

"I think in these games, again, it's what preparation you can do throughout the week to make sure you're able to perform when you get there? Then it's about how many players you have who can play winning football, because strength in numbers has to show up in a game like that," Lanning said.

HISTORY

This is the third time the Ducks played the Cowboys, with Oregon claiming the historical record at 0-2. The first time the Ducks played the Cowboys was during the 2008 Pacific Holiday Bowl, where Oregon won 42-31. With five lead changes in the second half, quarterback Jeremiah Masoli punched in three touchdowns on the ground and one in the air.

Funny enough, this game will be the first time in Cowboys' history an active Big Ten Conference member played at Boone Pickens Stadium.

Speaking of the 2008 Holiday Bowl, Oregon's uniforms for this match-up directly references that past victory with highlights playing as running back Jordon Davison shows off the threads, including the first white helmet mask with a non-white helmet in the modern era.
