Oklahoma State’s offense is making a case as the most efficient in program history, though the season is still unfolding. Quarterback Drew Mestemaker also earned semifinalist honors for two major national awards, while the Cowboys prepare for Saturday night’s game against Texas Tech.

By the Numbers
  • In 1988, OSU scored 66 touchdowns and 11 field goals across an estimated 140 possessions.
  • In seven games in 2026, excluding Tulsa and Murray State, OSU has scored 38 touchdowns and 17 field goals in 81 possessions.
Yes, But

The 2026 offense has a chance to set a program benchmark, but the comparison is preliminary: the season isn’t finished, and the cited numbers exclude two games.

What's Next

OSU’s final stretch will show whether its offensive efficiency holds up and strengthens the case for the best offense in program history.

Bottom Line

The numbers point to a historic offense in the making, but the Cowboys still have to sustain that production through the rest of the season.
