John Mateer's late interception sinks No. 11 Oklahoma at Michigan

sportsSep 12, 202622287

In Ann Arbor, John Mateer's late interception by Michigan cornerback J'Yaire Hill on a third-down play from Oklahoma's 16-yard line swung a 17-10 road win to the Wolverines. Oklahoma trailed by 10 at halftime but Mateer rallied the Sooners, completing 9 of 10 passes for 134 yards and a touchdown in the second half before the underthrown pass to Trell Harris was picked. Hill's takeaway gave Michigan the ball at the Oklahoma 6, and two plays later Michigan regained the lead. The pick was Mateer's first turnover of the season and followed a first half in which Oklahoma's offense struggled. Oklahoma had two late opportunities, with possessions at 3:05 and 1:06 remaining, but failed to score as time expired. The loss snapped Oklahoma's chance for a signature early-season win at Michigan's stadium, leaving questions about Mateer's late-game execution and Oklahoma's ability to finish drives under pressure.

All the time in the world for John Mateer, but he's a mediocrity and Michigan's cornerbacks are all studs

This looks like a matchup between two fringe top 25 teams.

Joshua Ray/Ban Prevent Defense3

He’ll be a fun spring league/CFL “Oh, that’s where he is” guy in 4 years

Dave Singleton3

Just because a quarterback is exciting…it doesn’t mean he is good.

BRAK AND BLUE2

And that one in particular is the best man coverage one of the bunch and most likely to pick it. He'll do some dumb shit (see: the personal foul on the 1) but dude can cover.

John Mateer led his team to the CFP last year. Time to officially conclude that the SEC sucks.

From one second to 2-0, Michigan is going to beat Oklahoma 17-10.

Michigan winning because the clock ran out on their opponent does feel a little cheap. Oklahoma should be given one free play from the line of scrimmage just to make things fair.

Also, John Mateer is absolutely gonna get an NFL Coach fired.

He won't because no NFL team is going to give him anything but a rookie minicamp tryout.

I called myself a John Mateer truther last year. I said this offseason that all that muscle won’t improve his ball placement and decision making. I’ve never felt more validated.

John Mateer was 9-of-9 for 134 yards and a touchdown to open the second half. Then he finished 1-of-8 for 3 yards and an interception.

Michigan beats No. 11 Oklahoma 17-10. Since 2000, Michigan is now 8-11 when unranked vs team ranked 11th or higher with 3 straight wins (also 2024 vs No. 2 Ohio State and No. 11 Alabama)
