Turns out you need to be the underdog in the game. Or have a QB that can make good reads.

Don’t think anyone would argue this

u/MemoryTime1303 Sep 13 '26

So that one game outweighs the 15 or so others where he looked like an nfl guy?

63

u/LGWalkway Oklahoma Sooners • Paper Bag Sep 12 '26

Yea, he's everything we wish Mateer would be. And he's only a year 2 guy and I believe a walk on?

u/TheArmageddon12 Oklahoma State Cowboys Sep 12 '26

He never played a game of football, including high school, from start to finish until like a year ago.

u/LGWalkway Oklahoma Sooners • Paper Bag Sep 12 '26

It's actually insane how guys can play their whole lives and not learn how to read a defense. Then there's Mestemaker.

u/Working_Base_8824 Montana Western • Wake Forest Sep 12 '26

yeah, that shit really is crazy when you put it like that.

u/TheArmageddon12 Oklahoma State Cowboys Sep 12 '26

I think coach should get a lot of credit for this week. Defense also. But yeah mestemaker looked like baby josh allen.

u/Early_Comparison_921 Sep 12 '26

And O line, they did not block like this against Tulsa. And we had multiple injuries their this game

Middle and high school football is a lottery. You never know if you are going to get a coach who wants to actually coach you so you have a shot in college and beyond or one that is there just to win and will install the flashiest but easiest scheme that puts up numbers.

real ones watched his debut in the servpro first responder bowl vs texas state

u/Puzzled_Spread3381 Sep 12 '26

My wife is good friends with Mestemaker’s mom. His story is amazing and no one deserves success at qb more than he does. He’s most certainly a Heisman contender and first round NFL draft pick.

u/Tough-Advice2910 Virginia Tech • William & Mary Sep 12 '26

Good for him. You love to see it. And in an ideal world he would play all of his college ball at Oklahoma State (and hopefully he does.)

I watched the end of that game after I got home from work.

Because I didn't have anything better to do on a Friday evening.

u/tackleboxjohnson Sep 12 '26

He was a punter/safety in high school. Emo is a qb whisperer

u/egg_mugg23 Florida • San José State Sep 12 '26

mf what thats insane

u/Radiant-Character-61 Sep 12 '26

That shit's crazy, so pretty much the college Kurt Warner

u/Working_Base_8824 Montana Western • Wake Forest Sep 12 '26

he had never started a game at quarterback until last fall. total afterthought.

u/TxtC27 North Texas Mean Green • Texas A&M Aggies Sep 13 '26

Yeah, walked on at UNT. Took over as the starter last year, and now doing awesome things. Glad to see him and coach Morris do well today

u/SpaceCowboy73 Oklahoma Sooners • Montana Grizzlies Sep 12 '26

And water is wet bro, tell us something we don't know lmao.

u/Roxxas049 Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 12 '26

This kinda of goes without saying, doesn't it?

1

u/iLoveTacosPNW Sep 12 '26

You would think so, yet so many “experts” had Mateer on their Heisman watch lists.

u/XAfricaSaltX Georgia Bulldogs • Florida Gators Sep 12 '26

Grass green

u/ymi17 Oklahoma • Oklahoma State Sep 12 '26

u/LGWalkway Oklahoma Sooners • Paper Bag Sep 12 '26

Give OU fans some hope!

u/FoodieFattie Texas Longhorns Sep 12 '26

Saw most of that game. Doing house stuff and peeking in every series or so. I recall a few just, bad passes from Mateer. Might have been a 3rd down towards the end of the game where he rifles it to his tight end who had just cleared the defender. Think that might have been a play that continued that final drive, or the driver before it.

u/LGWalkway Oklahoma Sooners • Paper Bag Sep 12 '26

We had a WR wide open in the middle of the field but he threw the ball to the TE in double coverage. TE almost caught it with one hand, but still. Open guy > double coverage any day of the week.

1

u/FoodieFattie Texas Longhorns Sep 12 '26

You may be right. My point was that with a bit of touch I think the TE catches it, even though the read was poor.

1

u/LGWalkway Oklahoma Sooners • Paper Bag Sep 12 '26

Yea, i'm not sure how he regressed mentally when he's actually healthy. He can throw the ball better, but his placement is horrible. The pick was a slightly underthrown pass that needed more air and its likely a catch.

u/OldSarge02 Texas A&M Aggies Sep 12 '26

I assure you neither was necessary to score 48 points today.

u/turkishguy Texas A&M Aggies • Yildiz Teknik Stallions Sep 12 '26

Or be the home team
