PHILADELPHIA — Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer’s stat line wasn’t uber flashy in the Sooners’ 42-3 win over Temple on Saturday .

Mateer completed just 20-of-34 passes (58.8%) for 282 yards and a touchdown. But that didn’t bother head coach Brent Venables, who liked the steadiness and vigor Mateer brought to the Sooners’ first true road game of the season.

“Just steady, consistent, tough,” Venables said of Mateer’s performance versus Temple. “He’s a great leader. The team has really latched on to his personality and his passion. I think you have an opportunity to become great at what you do in this space when you can reproduce that passion and that energy, and he brings out the best in people around him.”
