Skip Bayless highlights brutal play by Oklahoma’s John Mateer in 2026

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer is facing intense scrutiny following a sharp decline in his performance during the 2026 season. Once considered a Heisman Trophy contender, the signal-caller has struggled to maintain consistency, leading to public criticism from Skip Bayless regarding his potential benching.

During a 17-10 loss to Michigan, Mateer recorded 189 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception, while also contributing 45 rushing yards. Following subsequent offensive difficulties in a defeat against Georgia, coach Brent Venables has publicly maintained his commitment to Mateer as the starting quarterback ahead of the Red River Rivalry game against Texas.
