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.

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.

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.

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.

For the second time since John Mateer returned from thumb surgery, Oklahoma suffered a loss. He had an up-and-down day on Saturday in the Sooners’ home loss to Ole Miss, and head coach Brent Venables admitted he’s not sure how the injury is impacting his quarterback’s performance.
