Oklahoma State Shuts Out Murray State 59-0
Twenty of 22. Drew Mestemaker missed twice all afternoon, threw five touchdown passes, and Oklahoma State beat Murray State 59-0 without ever having to think about it.
It was 7-0 on a 2-yard pass to Miles Coleman, 14-0 on a 13-yarder to Wyatt Young, and early in the second quarter Justin Bowick had caught a 24-yard touchdown to make it 21-0. A Sam Keltner field goal made it 24-0, then Bowick caught a 36-yarder with 3:41 left in the half for 31-0. Murray State did not score in the first half, or the second, and is 0-2.
The third quarter brought three more scores. Mestemaker hit Terrence Lewis from 31 yards for 38-0, and then Broderick Vehrs took over and threw a 10-yard touchdown to Carson Kolb for 45-0. Tre Page III ran in from 6 yards for 52-0, and KD Jones added a 6-yard run early in the fourth for the final margin. No scoring after that.
The Cowboys finished with 668 yards, 361 through the air and 307 on the ground. They did not throw an interception and lost one fumble. Eight touchdowns and one field goal made up the 59 points, and the last of them came less than three minutes into the fourth quarter. They are 2-1.
If you started Mestemaker you got 42.4 points, and if you started Bowick you got 38.8 from nine catches and 178 yards. A lot of fantasy rosters had a very good Saturday. Coleman added 14.3 on three catches, which is the kind of Saturday that makes a three-man passing game look easy.
