Oklahoma coach Brent Venables warns starting quarterback John Mateer after backup quarterbacks take more practice reps

Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables has warned starting quarterback John Mateer that his job is in jeopardy ahead of Saturday's rivalry game against No. 1 Texas. After a 41-13 loss to Georgia, Venables said backups Whitt Newbauer and Bowe Bentley took many practice reps and could see playing time. Mateer has struggled with six turnovers in three games, and the Sooners' offense has scored only 37 points in their last three games. The team is 2-2 and 0-1 in SEC play, facing a Texas team that is 4-0 and has a strong defense.
