Dave: Run game key to Texas loss, OU’s success in remaining games

by

Extremely disappointed in the outcome of the game against texas.

Going in, I thought it could go either way because texas has a lot of talent, and their two loses only made them more dangerous as they would be desperate. I thought it would probably come down to
who had the ball last.

Instead, the Sooner offense turned in their worst showing of the year and wasted another strong performance by the defense. They have now not touched the endzone against the longhorns in two full games. Let that sink in.

Fashionista: Going down south to the land of grits and crop tops

Sooners to be exposed to backwoods couture

Down south we go, where the “Fowl” Winds blow!

Returning Mateer stumbles, Sooners fall 23-6 to Longhorns in Red River Rivalry

Oklahoma fans who have attended many Red River Rivalries know seemingly how often game turns on turnovers, an explosive kicking game play or a big play that alters momentum. 

The 2025 version of the rivalry, in which Texas upset sixth-ranked Oklahoma 23-6, was no exception. 

The story line was about Sooners QB John Mateer returning to action a mere 17 days after having surgery on his throwing hand

John Mateer threw for 202 yards, but he also threw three interceptions in his return. Mateer completed 20 of 38 passes and said he felt fine physically. The junior transfer quarterback said he just didn’t play good enough for the Sooners (5-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference).

“The pain level was nothing. I mean there’s no excuse,” said Mateer, who was 20-of-38 passing and sacked five times. “I was ready to go physically, but mentally I just didn’t perform.”
