Oklahoma’s Shocking Playoff Surge: Can They Defy the Odds This Season?
Will the running game develop? Mateer will contribute in this area, but Oklahoma’s running game won’t reach its potential if Cal transfer Jaydn Ott doesn’t get it going. Ott was one of the most tantalizing portal pickups of the offseason, nearly as critical as Mateer himself. Ott was one of the best backs in the country in 2023 before losing a season to an injury that he said was mismanaged at Cal in 2024. But Ott is apparently not fully healthy this year, either, as he barely played in Week 1 and was a non-factor against Michigan. The Sooners have a revamped offensive line, and one reason to believe in the offense was that a star, veteran back like Ott would give that line some margin for error.
