21 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Expected to start Saturday Mateer is expected to start Saturday at Florida, On3.com reports.

Impact Even though Mateer was rumored to be in danger of losing his starting role under center, it seems the senior quarterback will get another shot in Week 10 in a tough matchup against the Gators. Mateer's play hasn't been consistent this fall, evidenced by his 13:7 TD:INT, though he's still completing over 65 percent of his passes for 1,835 yards.

Venables pushing for points after OC change at Oklahoma, doesn't say if QB switch coming

Could be in danger of losing QB1 gig Mateer may not be the Sooners' starting quarterback this week as head coach Brent Venables declined to confirm who his QB1 is at Florida, per Colton Sulley of The Oklahoman.

Impact Mateer's play hasn't been consistent this fall, and the Sooners are coming off a rough loss at the hands of South Carolina. Venables didn't confirm that Mateer would remain the guy, and mentioned that "We've got a couple good young quarterbacks in Whitt Newbauer and Bowe Bentley." All three are reportedly getting practice reps, and there could be a quarterback change in Norman this week.

Expected to remain as QB1 Mateer is expected to remain as Oklahoma's QB1 ahead of Saturday's game at Florida, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

Impact Even though there are rumors that Mateer might not start Saturday against the Gators, it seems they are just that -- rumors. Mateer handled his regular amount of reps with the first-team offense Monday and is expected to remain under center in a tough visit to the Gators on Nov. 7. The star signal-caller has thrown for 527 yards and four touchdowns with no turnovers in his last two outings, so he's trending in the right direction.

Solid outing in loss Mateer was 26-for-43 passing for 244 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 42-25 defeat versus South Carolina. He also had 11 rushes for 29 yards.

Impact Mateer struggled to move the offense through three quarters before connecting with wide receiver Ivan Carreon for two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter. The senior quarterback has thrown for 527 yards and four touchdowns with no turnovers in his last two outings and will look to build on those performances for next week's meeting with Florida.

The senior quarterback also avoided throwing an interception after tossing six over his previous two games and will look to maintain that efficiency against South Carolina next Saturday.
