Clearly, I am both slow and late to the party, but FSU has 3 of our transfers starting. Wow, that's crazy. Good luck to them. I hope they play well, but boy, that's going to be tough for them, IMO.

We had excellent depth pieces (1b types) and they left because FSU is paying them starting money. So it would suprise me more if they weren't starting.

Why is it that their are questions surrounding Joey Aguilar moving up in competition from The Sunbelt to The SEC, but John Mateer is going to tear up The SEC and be the savior of Oklahoma football when his only year as a starter so far has been against Mountain West competition?

funny how it works isnt it? the media creates a narrative, repeats it enough and then they just all start saying the same thing until the season starts. Its all over social media for months.


i think Mateer will be fine too but i also watched him turn in a 23 QBR against Wyoming, a 53 qbr against SDSU. Also had a game against fresno where he went 17-35... Guy also runs around so much he gets himself in trouble. My point is just he's not the perfect player they keep making him out to be.

He took 31 sacks last yr and its not like the OU O Line is in great shape these days. But of course no mention of it from anyone. To let the media tell it he is saving the sport of football this yr.

MTN West is in a tier above the Sunbelt.

He also played against 4 P4 teams and Boise State. Texas Tech, Washington, Oregon St and Syracuse.

Joey would have way more hype if he were coming off his 2023 campaign though.

I think this is a little myopic. As myopic as dismissing him would be. Aguilar has been at lower competition and has been reckless with the ball at times. IMO - He's a 3 star version of Tyler Bray without the proven wide recievers around him. Less arm talent, but similar running and instincts. His ceiling and floor are both lower than Bray, but a point i do agree on is - yes Heupel adds a lot to both his ceiling and floor.

Yeah hard disagree on what I said being as myopic as dismissing him. The "lower competition" argument is the epitome of myopic. That proves nothing.

You can watch film of him going through multiple progressions, being poised, having zero fear of the rush, delivering the ball accurately down the field, throwing the ball well on the run and throwing into tighter windows routinely.

All of this in an Offense that asked him to do more, use his brain more, turn his back to the defense in the pistol (we never have our QB's turn their backs on play action and then turn back around to find a read down the middle)

All of those football IQ things that Nico did not possess last year. Like you don't see Joey just give up on his first read, panic and take off in a clean pocket lime Nico did several times. Or have sometimes 4 straight perplexing just flat out misses of wide open receivers.

It would be different if we had a pro style Offense, but we have a low risk high reward Offense that has produced the most lay ups maybe in the history of football. So it's just logical to me to project that a guy, who has already played at a high level, in a more complex system, with the best deep ball completion % in the country, will do well in Heupel's system.
