Brent Venables addresses John Mateer's interception issues against New Mexico
Summary

Brent Venables commented on the struggles of quarterback John Mateer during the Oklahoma Sooners' matchup against the New Mexico Lobos on September 21, 2026. Mateer threw two interceptions, with the second stemming from a mental error by running back Xavier Robinson. Oklahoma's offense was limited to under 300 yards and averaged 1.9 yards per carry, turning the ball over three times overall. Despite a strong defensive performance, holding New Mexico to six points, the Sooners will face tougher competition ahead as they prepare to play the Georgia Bulldogs next week.
