Mestemaker has 3 passing touchdowns, 1 rushing touchdown, 4 interceptions, 1 fumble, a two score loss to Tulsa, and a win against the 6 ranked Oregon Ducks… HUH? Don’t get me wrong, the kid looked great but if looking at just stats, his start to the season is an interesting one to say the least.

Mestemaker has very high highs and very low lows

He's like the Joe Flacco of college football

u/Frommunist Georgia • Oklahoma State Sep 12 '26

Not a lot of football snaps from him. He’ll grow. I think leaving for the draft this year might be one year too early but he certainly has the tools to become a really good NFL qb

u/Teach_Piece TCU Horned Frogs • Texas A&M Aggies Sep 12 '26

Does he stay at OSU or transfer again?

30

u/Frommunist Georgia • Oklahoma State Sep 12 '26

He loves Morris so he should stay. He turned down bigger money to come to osu

25

u/Lilies_of_Edelweiss Texas Longhorns • Virginia Cavaliers Sep 12 '26

Loves is probably an understatement. This is a guy who went from never playing varsity QB to being an FBS awardwinning QB as a freshman. If I were Drew, I'd worship the ground Coach Morris walks on. I miss them 😭 UNT looking alright against UNLV tho

16

u/Lilies_of_Edelweiss Texas Longhorns • Virginia Cavaliers Sep 12 '26

He only transferred to OSU to follow his head coach, who brought him from a guy who had 0 varsity snaps at QB to the single game/single season record holder for passing yards at UNT... as a freshman. But huh, I wonder if he'll transfer out?

u/PresidentRevrac Indiana Hoosiers • Harvard Crimson Sep 12 '26

Yeah, allegedly he was IU’s first target at QB and turned us down. So I doubt he’ll transfer unless something exceptional happens

u/colonel750 Oklahoma State • /r/CFB Award F… Sep 13 '26

He signed a two year NIL contract. I'm pretty sure he stays if he feels we can go the distance in year 2.

u/Misdirected_Colors Oklahoma State Cowboys Sep 12 '26

Last week he played timid and we suffered for it. This week he said fuck it YOLO and it is the reason we won even if it hurt the margin

u/ObjectiveStrategy386 Georgia • Georgia Southern Sep 12 '26

Oh so you’re saying he’s elite?

4

u/RCA1202 Oklahoma Sooners Sep 12 '26

He has the potential to be

3

u/Gottatrytho Notre Dame • Illinois State Sep 12 '26

Ah. He's waiting in his Orange and Black for Joe Burrow to come take over.

u/silverhk Notre Dame Fighting Irish Sep 12 '26

Well with that analogy, if Oklahoma State's playoffs started this week, CFB could be in trouble.

u/TheArmageddon12 Oklahoma State Cowboys Sep 13 '26

closer to jameis winston. 4900 yard season with 30 touchdowns 30 interceptions incoming

1

u/RCA1202 Oklahoma Sooners Sep 13 '26

I actually did think about saying Winston...

But Flacco is a pretty good comp too

u/muttonchops215 Ohio State Buckeyes • Iowa Hawkeyes Sep 12 '26

So he is the dragon

u/LaSopaSabrosa Michigan • /r/CFBRisk Veteran Sep 12 '26

An Elite Dragon you say?

u/rented4823 Wisconsin Badgers • Sickos Sep 12 '26

More like Moistmaker.

u/Cog_HS Iowa State • Burning Couch Cup Sep 12 '26

Can I suggest a tweak to Moistermaker?

u/jimbojangles1987 Texas A&M Aggies Sep 12 '26

MY SANDWICH!?

u/Poopingisasignipoop Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 12 '26

Oh really? Did you confuse it with your turkey sandwich with a Mestemaker?

u/SinCityRaidersLV /r/CFB Sep 12 '26

His two picks today were tipped balls though

1

u/colonel750 Oklahoma State • /r/CFB Award F… Sep 13 '26

There was a lot of natural talent on that Oregon D, it was rhe same player who tipped the ball at the LoS 3 times. The third time saved Oregon from a DPI call.

23

u/realadvicenobs Sep 12 '26

both his picks today werent on him

51

u/DDub04 South Carolina • Palmetto Bowl Sep 12 '26 edited Sep 12 '26

Plus like 650 total yards.

Welcome back Jameis?

u/B1GTOBACC0 Oklahoma State • Arkansas Sep 12 '26

I think Tulsa was a wakeup call. Ok State came out acting like "We're power 4 and they aren't," and got punched in the mouth for it.

7

u/sam5904 Kansas Jayhawks • George Mason Patriots Sep 12 '26

His 2 INTs today were off of tips. Not really his fault.

6

u/AnotherUnfunnyName Duke • Carolina Victory Bell Sep 12 '26

Did they transfer in a new offensive line after week 1?

4

u/faders Oklahoma State Cowboys Sep 12 '26

He’s got the core skills. He’s just really green

u/Darthmalak3347 Oklahoma State Cowboys • TCU Horned Frogs Sep 12 '26

he did say his hero is josh allen, and thats a Josh Allen Statline.

u/FAMUgolfer Florida State • Florida A&M Sep 12 '26

Certified gunslinger

u/VegetableTour6790 Oklahoma State Cowboys Sep 12 '26

It goes to show what a small sample size can betray statistics

2

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats Sep 12 '26

Everyone all aboard Mr. Mestemaker's wild ride.

u/Fryboy11 Minnesota Golden Gophers • Marching Band Sep 12 '26

Don't forget 1 defender knocked out with his ass.

u/Millies_ButtersMilk Michigan Wolverines Sep 12 '26

Dude four turnovers is what I thought Bryce was going to have today and OK State still won like damn

1

u/hesgrant Ohio State Buckeyes • Team Chaos Sep 12 '26

Those are some serious Jameis Winston numbers

u/_Football_Cream_ Texas Longhorns Sep 13 '26

This is just the perfect sample for how college football makes absolutely zero sense. I love it.

u/tSignet Texas Longhorns • Pop-Tarts Bowl Sep 12 '26

Cignetti’s going to turn him into the next Mendoza in 2027
