Mestemaker throws for 389 yards and 3 TDs as Oklahoma State beats West Virginia 41-24

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- , Drew Mestemaker threw for a season-high 389 yards and three touchdowns, Caleb Hawkins rushed for a season-high 180 yards and a score, and Oklahoma State beat West Virginia 41-24 in their Big 12 opener Saturday night. The Cowboys (3-1) roared back from a 14-3 deficit to earn an emphatic win in a hostile environment under first-year coach Eric Morris , and they did it with three players he brought with him from North Texas: Mestemaker, Hawkins and wide receiver Wyatt Young . Mestemaker was up to the task, completing 20 of his 27 passes. “Whenever you make those big plays, and everything goes quiet, it feels good running down the field,” he said. “This was definitely the best away-game environment I’ve ever played in.” Mestemaker hit Justin Bowick with a 21-yard scoring toss just before halftime and kept making big plays in blown coverage by West Virginia’s defense.
