Mestemaker and Hawkins lead Oklahoma State's dominant effort over Kansas State 66-28

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- , Drew Mestemaker became the first Bowl Subdivision player with four touchdown passes, one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown since Virginia’s Brennan Armstrong against BYU in 2021 as Oklahoma State trounced Kansas State 66-28 on Saturday. Mestemaker, who finished 22-of-28 passing for 313 yards, had three first-half touchdown passes, and Caleb Hawkins had three first-half rushing touchdowns for the Cowboys. But when asked what he was most proud of after the game, OSU head coach Eric Morris said emphatically “Defense, no doubt about it. "Hats off to our staff. They did a phenomenal job putting together a great game plan. Our guys responded. I thought the turnovers and us playing complementary football and really being able to capitalize on some of those and get it out of hand by halftime was huge.
