Oklahoma QB John Mateer didn’t try to sugarcoat things after the Sooners' loss to Ole Miss on Saturday. 'Still not good enough,' Mateer said.

Mateer had surgery on the throwing hand during Oklahoma’s off week, then sat out the win over Kent State. He returned for the showdown against Texas on Oct. 11, but he had the worst game of his career and threw three interceptions in a loss. He limited mistakes in a win against South Carolina last week as the running game carried the load.

John Mateer and the No. 13 Oklahoma Sooners are 6-1 through seven games this season. Their only loss came to the Texas Longhorns in Week 7. They will now face the No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels in Week 9.

OU quarterback John Mateer was able to lead a bounce-back performance for the Sooners' offense despite throwing for just 150 yards.

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer is working to recover from a tough game against Texas. He completed just over 50% of his passes, threw three interceptions, and the Sooners lost 23-6 last Saturday.

The Sooners invested heavily in Mateer over the offseason when he transferred from Washington State, making him one of the most highly-paid players in the country, according to 247Sports. Early on, the Little Elm, Texas, native has lived up to the hype. Heading into Week 7, Mateer ranked No. 2 nationally in total offense per game.

The Oklahoma Sooners had a bad game on offense from quarterback John Mateer, and head coach Brent Venables kind of let him know about it.

NORMAN, Okla. — Trinidad Chambliss threw for 315 yards and a touchdown and Kewan Lacy ran for two scores to help No. 8 Mississippi defeat No. 13 Oklahoma 34-26 on Saturday. Ole Miss finished much differently than last week, when the Rebels led by nine in the third quarter before falling apart late in a 43-35 loss.
