Mateer Misfires Put Oklahoma's Season on Shaky Ground After Michigan Loss

Oklahoma's offense stalled in the loss to Michigan as quarterback John Mateer went 7 of 16 for 52 yards before finishing 1 of 8 for 3 yards on the final drive, with an interception; his accuracy and decision making have been a trend since his return from hand surgery, and the Sooners' overall attack struggled despite some second-half reliance on tight ends and QB runs. With a brutal remaining slate featuring Georgia and Texas, concerns about play calling, line development, and Mateer's progression loom large for Brent Venables.
