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

sportsSep 12, 202629412

John Mateer's late interception by Michigan cornerback J'Yaire Hill on a third-down play from Oklahoma's 16-yard line decided Michigan's 17-10 win over No. 11 Oklahoma in Ann Arbor. Mateer had helped Oklahoma rally from a 10-point halftime deficit and was 9-of-10 for 134 yards and a touchdown in the second half before the underthrown pass intended for Trell Harris was picked off. Hill returned possession to Michigan at the Oklahoma six-yard line, and two plays later Michigan retook the lead. The interception was Mateer's first turnover of the season and came midway through the fourth quarter with the game tied. Oklahoma had two more chances late, with possessions at 3:05 and 1:06 remaining, but the Sooners failed to convert and time expired on their comeback bid. The loss ended Oklahoma's chance for a statement road victory and preserved Michigan's win at the Big House.

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.

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.

Michigan wins. Oklahoma State beats a Top 10 Oregon. Rough weekend to be a Sooners person.

After the Wolverines held Oklahoma to 10 points with two turnovers, head coach Brent Venables called Michigan DC Jay Hill "one of the best coordinators in the country." "At all three levels, they've got really good players — and they're well coached." 247sports.com/college/mich...

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

Let's do some Michigan thoughts and ramblings again. I'm sure this will be less popular after Michigan defied convention and beat Oklahoma. So, we're Iowa with upside. That means that while we have a baseline of about 8-4, the pure upside is significantly higher because Bryce may improve.

BUT FIRST, the defense. Jay Hill is a sick fuck (complimentary). He had Mateer in absolute hell today. Even when there was room, the Oklahoma QB was sailing balls all day and in all honesty, he's lucky he only threw one pick. Both Sooners scoring drives were aided by stupid penalties.

OK, but to be fair, that is what I thought they were before the season with a win today moving it potentially to 9-3. But Michigan has not already beaten two of the five teams on its schedule that won ten games last season. Lots to keep improving, but more hope than last week.

Current Iowa feels like Iowa with upside, honestly. This UM team feels like a lot of those early Harbaugh teams that had a high floor because of the talent but a non-elite ceiling. In a 12-team playoff that's enough if they can steal a game from the Oregon/IU teams.

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.

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.
