John Mateer and the No. 13 Oklahoma Sooners are 6-1 through seven games this season. Their only loss came to the Texas Longhorns in Week 7. They will now face the No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels in Week 9.

Mateer had surgery on the throwing hand during Oklahoma’s off week, then sat out the win over Kent State. He returned for the showdown against Texas on Oct. 11, but he had the worst game of his career and threw three interceptions in a loss. He limited mistakes in a win against South Carolina last week as the running game carried the load.

Oklahoma QB John Mateer didn’t try to sugarcoat things after the Sooners' loss to Ole Miss on Saturday. 'Still not good enough,' Mateer said.

The Sooners and Rebels are getting set for action in a pivotal Week 9 matchup. It's arguably the best game of the week, pitting the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners against the No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels in a contest that will have College Football Playoff implications.

Even though several issues exacerbated John Mateer's struggles, it is appropriate to be impressed by his moxie and appalled by his mistakes vs Texas.

The No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels (6-1) travel to face the No. 13 Oklahoma Sooners (6-1) in an SEC College Football matchup.
