Mateer steadies Oklahoma in rivalry upset

John Mateer responded to scrutiny with an 18-of-26, 155-yard, turnover-free performance against Texas and earned praise from Brent Venables. Kentucky’s 5-1 record and Oklahoma’s limited offensive production make the follow-up a major test of Mateer’s consistency, decision-making and ability to sustain drives; Lloyd Avant’s Texas breakout may provide needed balance.
