Mateer’s Passing Totals Lean On Bounce Back

John Mateer looking like a sure Heisman contender through the first four games last season before he suffered a broken right hand and was forced out for three weeks. Mateer was averaging 303.8 pass yards and 1.5 passing touchdowns per game through Oklahoma’s first four games. If he stayed the course, he was on pace for 3,645 yards and 18 touchdowns.

However, the reason OK CFB prop betting sites are hesitant in setting his line higher comes with how he played after coming back from his injury. For the rest of the season after his return, his numbers dropped to 208.8 pass yards per game and just one touchdown as well.

Hinting at a return to form for Mateer is the new look receiving room. The Sooners brought in Trell Harris from Virginia who put up 847 yards and five touchdowns last season. The key transfer though was Parker Livingstone who transferred in from Texas after going for 516 yards and six touchdowns. Not to mention, Isaiah Sategna is set to lead the trio after his 965-yard, eight touchdown season last year.
