John Mateer shoulders blame for bad performance in Georgia loss

The Oklahoma Sooners are now 2-2 overall and 0-1 in SEC play, after a 41-13 blowout loss on the road at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs. One of the biggest reasons for the defeat was the performance of fifth-year starting quarterback John Mateer, who turned the ball over three times in the first half.

The Dawgs built a big lead while the Sooners floundered, and many believed Mateer would be benched. After the game, both head coach Brent Venables and offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle said that making a quarterback change was discussed, but they chose to stick with Mateer.
