Oklahoma quarterback John Mateers return from a fractured thumb has been met with a significant drop in the teams passing offense. Despite Mateer insisting his hand is fully healed, his throws are averaging just over five yards per attempt, and the team rarely reaches two hundred passing yards in a game. Offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle suggests a combination of factors, including play-calling, execution, and receiver performance, may be contributing to the decline.

Arbuckle emphasizes the need to find ways to put players in successful positions and demand high performance to generate more explosive plays.The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
