Oklahoma Dominates the Redbirds

Oklahoma 35, Illinois State 3 — Tune-Up with Teeth John Mateer’s OU debut looked surgical: 30/37 for 392 yards with 15 explosive completions. Ben Arbuckle kept it efficient. WR depth flashed, and TE/Kanak packages changed the math. Run game needs juice. Defense stayed vanilla but stingy, rotated a ton, and left room to crank up havoc before Michigan.
