Analyst expresses confidence in John Mateer's prospects this season

College football analyst Josh Pate has expressed optimism regarding Oklahoma Sooners quarterback John Mateer ahead of the upcoming season. This follows Mateer's performance before and after his thumb injury last year, where he initially showcased significant promise. With a focus on enhancing the run game and bolstering the receiving corps through new transfers, Oklahoma aims to support Mateer more effectively. The Sooners ranked No. 92 in total offense last season, making improvements crucial for their success. The team hopes for a resurgence from Mateer as he begins the new season healthy and with additional playmaking options.
