Oklahoma had so much drama this year that how good their defense was completely overlooked. They had as good a case as anyone for best defense in the SEC. Give them just a competent offense and they'll be a problem.
Yes BUT their secondary is absolute garbage if the front 7 isn’t getting pressure. Now, I will say it’s hard to be great at defense when you’re on the field for the most snaps in the entire sport but the secondary is definitely where they need to improve
@@Bass_n_barbells i think it's more about the system requiring the secondary to take the blunt of it, especially the 10--15 yard area. LSU exposed that. it's not an automatic that it will be a problem, but if there is an open spot, it's that. they have to be perfect a times basically. when bend don't break doesn't work, you'll see those 3rd and 10-15 plays turn into 1st downs. I've been watching this for years, going back to when BV was at OU as a D cord.
Arbuckle being here is arguably as big of a deal as mateer himself because the play calling last year was beyond awful. We got another OL today and a couple of WR's yesterday. its starting to look like we will be better next year (thank goodness) mostly because its so easy to improve this offense simply due to it being horrendous. mediocre offense gets us wins against TN, Mizzou and South Carolina. Maybe even LSU but we will never know. it certainly gets us at least 2 more wins which is huge.
@@B00MERS00NERTX I didn't see any important ones on the offensive line we had one of the worst offensive lines in the country and I don't see it getting any better the only thing that's going to improve this team is an entire new coaching staff it's time to get rid of Brent venables
@@jdwilmoth false. There’s a lot of young talented guys on the o line. That’s why towards the end of the year, you seen the line get better. Well that was because they finally started playing the guys for the future.
Uh huh!!! I’m not doing it this off season. I’ll wait til I see it on the field. As an OU fan I’m so tired of hearing stats, promises and old history. Call me negative or whatever I need to see it!!!!!
@ I’ll definitely still watch and pray they win but I’m sooooo over excuses and watching other teams win championships. Can we be the chiefs for once and not the cowboys!!!!
Not that I’m saying it’s gonna happen but this has the feel of Baker, Kyler, Jalen, and even DG! Guys that were good but on teams that weren’t as good. They came to OU and two won Heisman’s, one was a finalist but didn’t win, then DG was a finalist this year. I’m hoping this is the result. I’m being cautiously optimistic for Mateer and I think he’ll be able to teach Hawkins some confidence.
Settle down. He doesn't have Bakers accuracy or quick release. He is a good scrambler, both for yards and to extend plays. But lets not pin the Heisman on him just yet. I will settle for the obvious that it's a massive improvement over last year. "YUGE!"
@@WilliamBrown-x5y I think there is a lot of room to say "settle down" on both sides of this topic, don't get me wrong. He is a 3 freaking million dollar QB, who was the #1 in the portal this cycle. He isn't Baker. But he doesn't have to be Baker, to do big things given he will have an elite defense, instead of the literal worse defense to ever play in the post season, since helmets started being plastic.
They get to 10 wins it becomes a play off season with that schedule. With 9 wins thats a good up swing. Its the next season when that schedule turns over things get interesting for an OU run IMO.
A big "so what?" Washington State lost their last 3 games to teams with losing records. The OU community these days is like a stray animal that will be happy to consume anything.
He has nothing to work with and he has to play in the hardest conference in college football all I gotta say is good luck teams he is going to play this conference he is going to built different even Baker couldn’t save this roster Oklahoma has now
@@kenardmason8565 he was terrible despite the bad OC and OL . Even when he had protection, he was a terrible reader of defenses and a turnover machine running and passing
What the heck is a "progrum"? Do y'all have illiterate editors/proofreaders? Hard to take a media outlet that makes such egregious mistakes on their thumbnail...
I'm not that impressed with this kid of course he has outrageous stats but look at the competition he's played against he's played to get some of the weakest competition in the country but we will say
The stats aren't even that crazy, through the air. I think it's the film people like. He is out there running for his life every down, and extending plays, and making explosive throws. It's not like he sat in the pocket and picked apart scrub defenses. His receivers weren't much better than the corners they went against. Now...this talk comparing him to Baker....come on now. Let's not get carried away, fans.
As an Oklahoma fan we did sign him to an extension. Brent Venables is a great coach and I think we may have it figured it out with this new OC and QB. Red River will be a fun one next season like it should be. Best rivalry in the world
@Tommy4Gauge cope with what? That miami is in better shape than OU? That we'll still be better without him than you inbreds will be with him? Talk about an easy pill to swallow.

Word has it, Baker Mayfield sealed the deal with Mateer. Besides Miami, Bilicheck and NC were getting involved late. BOOMER
SOONER let’s freaking go
With Tom Brady trying to help Bill
Boomer
baker coming in clutch of OU even after leaving the program. he's the GOAT
No he didn’t 😂😂 ik him personally not true
If Oklahoma can start putting up points with Mateer they are going to be a problem to face next year with their defense.
Mateer’s commitment was the first domino, more skill players to come.
Notttt,nobody wants to play in norman red neck Oklahoma 😮😮
No other team was ever getting mateer. With ou getting Arbuckle and Kuceyeski it was pretty much secured to get mateer
Mateer had a chartered flight for chapel hill today. Unc came in and almost ruined it
@@loctran3817 Baker then got involved and put UNC in their place lol
If Mateer was at OU in 2024 season, they win Tennessee, Missouri, and Lsu.
🎯
Mizzou for sure. Tennessee is a coin toss but I don’t think we beat LSU even with Mateer.
You are delusional

The O line got better at the end of the year. They are mostly 1 or 2 years guys. They will be a bunch of dogs next season.
Didn't some of them enter the transfer portal?
@@jdwilmothnot the important ones

The young guys are key to the line. And they are really talented
Billichevk had tom brady call mateer to try to lure him to North Carolina wowzers😂😂
Mayfield said( I don't think so )
My Sooners with him next year and if our defense stays strong like this year we will have a chance to compete for a SEC championship
Your are delusional 😅
I just like the way he says progrum 😂
He probably says Peacan instead Pahcahn.
Like pilgrim lol
He tries hard to wash the Californian out of his accent, with a 52 y'all per episode standard.

Ur a clown big dawg 😂 keep living that 6-6 life in the sec pal
JD, am I correct to assume that Oklahoma is not able to redshirt Jr.?
Line will be fine there is just no way there will be as many injuries
Mateer is a slightly larger Mayfield…..

Baker mayfield has the heart of a lion I hope one day he will come back to Oklahoma as a qb coach
@@trevorlahey9477 Lions have the heart of a Baker.
They didn't call me PITBULL back in the day for nothing, high school dreaming. haha
Go Sooners
Good news for Miami is that Washington State has another qb in the portal they can go get. Probably save some money too.
Are you kidding me? He had such a poor end to the season that it was embarrassing to watch. Great player but come on, he can’t handle pressure
I see Johnny manziel when I watch him
John Mateer pictures
Love it for my Sooners. Boomer!!
Progrum lol

Injuries killed OU last year, it won’t happen this year
Pfff…what was JA?
A bust . Jackson Arnold . Good luck Auburn
JA was dealt a bad hand OC was terrible and no QB coach that was a recipe for disaster
@@kenardmason8565 he was terrible despite the bad OC and OL . Even when he had protection, he was a terrible reader of defenses and a turnover machine running and passing
8-4 with a mountain West schedule. 14 pts against Wyoming…ehhh ok
I know your concerned tx....
The QB coach will help Hawkins become better too ! The Defense will be even better in 2025 ! Boomer
What the heck is a "progrum"? Do y'all have illiterate editors/proofreaders? Hard to take a media outlet that makes such egregious mistakes on their thumbnail...
Yeah yall thought Arnold was the guy too lol 😆
And you thought dak was your guy
Ou still going to suck

look out sec ANOTHER former big 12 team is coming for the sec championship!!!!!!!!

Now...this talk comparing him to Baker....come on now. Let's not get carried away, fans.
Go troll somewhere else please! Claim to be a Sooner but talk crap on every post or comment!
Hope he's halway decent so Oklahoma can sign Venables to an extention. I'd love for him to stay around as a Head Coach. Hookem!!!
As an Oklahoma fan we did sign him to an extension. Brent Venables is a great coach and I think we may have it figured it out with this new OC and QB. Red River will be a fun one next season like it should be. Best rivalry in the world
Venables beat you with the one good roster he had in his 3 years here. You’ve won 2/3 and the 2 you won were against 6-6 teams.
Bigley he played cupcakes period Oklahoma spooners like cupcakes playing quarterbacks 😂😂😂
Is he going to block for himself? SMH. Should've went to miami.
lol facts
Cope
Stop trashing the Oline. They had injuries this year just like the WR. Any other year Oline is dominant
@Tommy4Gauge cope with what? That miami is in better shape than OU? That we'll still be better without him than you inbreds will be with him? Talk about an easy pill to swallow.
Texas is going to light him up😂
