Oklahoma football news: Brent Venables confirms John Mateer's QB1 status after getting smoked by Georgia

Following a lopsided 41-13 defeat against Georgia over the weekend, Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables addressed lingering questions regarding his roster by firmly declaring that John Mateer remains the team's primary signal-caller. The Sooners have stumbled out of the gate with a pair of early losses, raising questions about whether a lineup change might be necessary to salvage the remainder of their campaign.

Mateer has experienced a turbulent start to the season following lofty preseason expectations, failing to surpass 300 passing yards or 45 rushing yards in any single matchup thus far. The program now faces a daunting schedule featuring upcoming clashes against powerhouse conference opponents such as Texas, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Florida, Ole Miss, and Missouri as they attempt to regroup.
