Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer had two fumbles and an interception in the first half against Georgia on Saturday, as the Bulldogs took a 28-0 lead into halftime. Some fans and commentators called for him to be benched, but no decision to replace him was reported.
Mateer's first fumble came near Georgia's goal line with Oklahoma trailing 14-0; Georgia's Chris Cole recovered it and returned it for a touchdown. Mateer's interception on the next possession ended a drive in Georgia territory. His second fumble came on fourth-and-1, giving Georgia the ball deep in Oklahoma territory.
The article says Mateer had struggled with turnovers during the season's first month. He had been Oklahoma's quarterback the previous year while dealing with injuries, and the team had hoped he would lead it back to the College Football Playoff.
