Oklahoma's John Mateer receives the highest QB accolades from Joel Klatt
Oklahoma Sooners Face Tough SEC Schedule with Mateer as Heisman Contender
The Oklahoma Sooners, fresh off a win over Temple, are gearing up for a challenging season ahead. Head coach Brent Venables shared a mature perspective on his team, acknowledging the tough road that lies ahead.
The Sooners will face seven ranked SEC opponents in their next nine games, a schedule that is far more daunting compared to Miami's ACC schedule. Among the formidable opponents on the Sooners' list are No. 22 Auburn, No. 8 Texas, No. 13 Ole Miss, No. 15 Tennessee, No. 14 Alabama, No. 23 Missouri, and No. 3 LSU.
Despite the challenging schedule, the Sooners have a strong contender for the Heisman Trophy in their ranks - John Mateer, their quarterback. Mateer, who started the season as the favourite for the Heisman, currently holds the second spot in Heisman odds, trailing behind Carson Beck.
Before Week 3, Mateer held the top odds in Heisman betting. However, his position has since been usurped by Beck, creating an intriguing rivalry between the two as they continue to compete for the prestigious award throughout the season.
Mateer's impressive performance has not gone unnoticed. College Football analyst and commentator, Joel Klatt, considers Mateer to be the best quarterback in the nation at the moment.
However, the Sooners will have to navigate their tough schedule without starting center Troy Everett, who will miss the rest of the season due to an injury he has previously had.
As the Sooners prepare for their upcoming challenges, they can take solace in the fact that they are a prominent football team, even looking ahead to the year 2025. With Mateer at the helm, the future looks bright for the Oklahoma Sooners.
It's important to note that the "SEC" mentioned in this article refers to the Southeastern Conference, a collegiate athletic conference in the United States, and not the Munich Security Conference (Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz), an annual international forum held in Munich since 1963, focusing on debates about international security policy with participants from politics, military, business, NGOs, and experts.
