OU discusses quarterback change amid loss to Georgia

Oklahoma faced a 41-13 defeat to Georgia on September 26, 2026, as quarterback John Mateer committed three turnovers. Despite completing 25 of 34 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns, his errors proved costly. Coach Brent Venables acknowledged discussions about replacing Mateer following the game, citing concerns over confidence and execution. Offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle expressed faith in Mateer but emphasized the need for improvement. The Sooners' rushing attack struggled, totaling just 65 yards on 35 carries. With their next game against Texas approaching, Mateer's performance and confidence will be critical for the team's prospects.
