  "account": "Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker stunned the college football world with a dominant performance against projected No. 1 pick Dante Moore and the Oregon Ducks. Standing at 6'3\", Mestemaker connected for 317 passing yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for a 75-yard touchdown run and overcoming a defender for a game-winning score. Mestemaker, a walk-on from Vandegrift High School, previously set records at North Texas, throwing for 608 yards last season. After transferring to Oklahoma State, he rushed for over 100 yards for the first time this season. Mestemaker's success on Saturday marked a remarkable turnaround after a disappointing opener against Tulsa.",
  "summary": "Drew Mestemaker never started a game at quarterback for Vandegrift High School in Austin, but he again made some college football history today.",
