Oklahoma’s Shocking Playoff Surge: Can They Defy the Odds This Season?
But Oklahoma Has Put Mateer In a Great Spot So Far
- Mateer has had an easy job throwing the ball. Sooner offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle came over from Wazzu along with his quarterback, and Arbuckle has been in his bag so far. Armed with a healthy room of wide receivers (something OU didn’t have last year), the Sooners have schemed their way to a bunch of open pass catchers. Mateer’s open-target percentage is 91.2, about 10% higher than the Power Four average. Open-target rate can correspond with a bunch of checkdowns, but Mateer’s 4.4% checkdown rate is well below the 6.5% Power Four average, and his 9.4 air yards per throw are nearly a yard deeper than average. In short, OU receivers aren’t just open, they’re open downfield. There’s a substantial difference.
- Mateer hasn’t been pressured much. Largely, that’s because he gets the ball out right away. His 2.2 seconds to release the ball are sixth-fewest among Power Four passers.
Mateer hasn’t been a pinpoint passer, but he’s taken only two sacks (one against Western Illinois, one against Michigan) and managed nearly 9 yards per drop back. He was also an effective designed runner against Michigan, totaling a workmanlike 19 carries for 74 yards.
