Is he out of eligibility? If not, why would he leave? He throws way too many sidearm passes to think he'd be a high draft pick at this point. But if he has eligibility left, he'll make a lot of money in college next year.

i don't think he'll play much unless there is a serious injury to mateer.
and i'm not too worried about mateer leaving for the nfl after this season.
he's going to have to learn to throw the ball a whole lot better to be an nfl qb.

I'm not a scout so I'm not going to argue with you. He doesn't strike me as a 1st round pick but wouldn't mind being wrong. Since we're in the NIL era, I can't see a QB who can make a ton of money in college leave early for the NFL unless he was good enough to be a 1st round pick.

I’m just projecting. No scout here either.

I will stand by the statement that averaging 3 yards per carry as a group, when one of those games was against an FCS, is, in fact, poor production. I would guess that would be the worst output in modern OU history if it holds up over the season, and stats are facts. The other fact is that they more or less abandoned even trying to give them the ball for most of the game. The final drive is the one time they got back to it.

3 YPC is servicable when playing a great defense. It can get the job done.
But yeah nowhere close to where it needs to be over the course of the season

it is close. we're a passing/qb run offense with a great defense.
sure it would be great to have it all...but an average rb run game is good enough.
i'm not too concerned. as the o-line gets better....and blaylock gets more experience...i think the rb ground game will be just fine.

If we can get above 4 I think that will be enough

the pass blocking is currently ahead of the run blocking but the starting oline combo didn't play in week 1 .. and they did "OK" blocking a very very good michigan front 7 ..

i would bet that the run game progresses ..

I'm pretty optimistic as well.
They did some good things. Just need them to stay healthy to string some time together

Hawkins or portal!

I don't think so, unless he gets a lot better. He still has plenty to work on, and with his low release, I'm not sure he'll ever project as a high NFL draft pick.

I'd be pretty surprised if he isn't back next year.

Bowl games don't count against the 4 games to redshirt.

They are trying to redshirt him, but that gets tricky because you can't predict injuries. Unless OU just routes Temple, I think he might not play this week. I would hope Kent State is a game they can play him in though.

I did not remember that being the case. Hard to keep track of all of the changing rules. (I still haven't learned the nfl kickoff rules yet)

I would not be surprised if temple gives us a good game. We should use 1 of his 4 in a "tune-up" game, then hedge the rest of the year in case of injury
