Mateer was making the same YOLO throws I saw him make when I watched them play Michigan and Auburn.  I don't think it was the thumb....it's who he is.  Our defense is just better than those other two teams and contained his running and picked those stupid ass decisions he makes.  

This...Never understood the hype for Mateer in the sense he was never Heisman material or even a game changer for OU.   His work last year at Washington State was nothing to really to write home about which included loses to New Mexico and Wyoming and going to OT against San Jose on top of a couple of more losses and close games to really no bodies.    The argument from the media and OU fans was he'd flourish with a SEC quality team around him.  But when he played against Auburn and Michigan  what you noted about his throws was no different from what we saw Saturday.  Unless the pain affected his ability to run and he was guarded for wanting to avoid taking a nasty hit directly on the thumb area or landing on it, it was very much our defense that contained him which Michigan and Auburn had less success doing.

What about their OL, WRs and RBs scream SEC-quality?

This. He did make a couple throws during the game that showed the thumb wasn’t a big issue at all. Some posters on this board noted that  when Mateer was at Washington st, he struggled against good defenses. That’s basically what we saw yesterday. 

Add to that PK is a really good game planner.  The son of a bitch looks to take away your best options and says go ahead and beat me.  Most of the time it works.

The discipline our Edge rushers had in containing Mateer led to big dividends.  Mateer does not want to stay in the pocket and he shit down his leg.  I bet we will do something similar with Reed.  You have to get him moving in the pocket though because he loses his feet.
