I was listening to Hester and EJ Manual today on Off Campus on XM 84 and they unveiled their #25 team today - Oklahoma. They did a good job with it, talking to the voice of OU, some dude named Howland or Rowland. He gave you every OU trope imaginable.  It was awesome. High expectations in Norman! The roster is top of the SEC competitive! Mateer is going to competing for the Heisman and Ott will be a force to lead the conference in rushing! The defense is going to be amazing!

Anyway, later on, EJ went through his view on Mateer after watching him in all of his games last year on tape. He was polite and gave the platitudes you expect the media to give about the guy, but then he actually got honest. He said the guy takes way too many sacks and that isn’t going to cut it with OU’s schedule. He was fine with his arm but questioned his read speed, which he also thought could be a problem. Bottom line is that that dude, who watches a lot of QB tape, isn’t sold. It’s a lot of the same stuff we’ve talked about here, but usually the talking heads have been lazy about looking at the guy beyond just checking his stats. 

A little more Mateer Heisman hype...

Oklahoma is only replacing its starting right tackle from last year's offensive line, which means the Sooners have a good deal of continuity in the trenches, with 70.8% of its total starts from last season back this fall. Yet despite the retention — which includes center Troy Everett, right guard Febechi Nwaiwu, left guard Heath Ozaeta and left tackle Logan Howland — the Sooners' offensive line still feels largely up for grabs heading into fall camp.

It's a testament to the improved quality depth and in-house development along the line, especially after a season in which Oklahoma fielded one of the worst units in college football (tied for most sacks allowed in the FBS and 119th in pass-blocking efficiency). 

This line is amazing. Improved depth? In-house development? Or ... just spit-balling here ... the starters from last year sucked.

This part is especially hilarious:
