Overview
- Oklahoma beat New Mexico 14-6 on Saturday night in Norman to improve to 2-1 on the season.
- Quarterback John Mateer completed 19 of 25 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns but threw two interceptions that drew boos from the crowd.
- The Sooners defense limited the Lobos to 185 total yards and 69 rushing yards while recording six sacks and 10 tackles for loss.
- Oklahoma's run game and offensive line again struggled, creating pressure and turnovers that heighten urgency for coordinator Ben Arbuckle to adjust before next week’s road game at Georgia.
- New Mexico, 2-1 under coach Jason Eck, showed it is a well-coached Group of Six threat and this was the programs’ first meeting in more than 90 years.
