Mateer’s Tough Night, Coach’s Confidence | Oklahoma Sooners Football News

John Mateer’s shaky performance against Michigan—17-of-33, 189 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT—cost the Sooners a 17-10 loss, but coach Brent Venables and OC Ben Arbuckle say he’s handling it with grit and maturity. The interception in the fourth quarter and a late sack sealed Michigan’s win, reigniting memories of Mateer’s rough stretch late last season. Arbuckle called the game “uneven,” blaming some missed throws on communication gaps—not just John. Still, he’s confident Mateer won’t dwell, knowing he’s got big SEC games ahead, starting with Georgia. The message? Move on fast, learn from film, and let this fuel his growth.
