Oklahoma 35, Illinois State 3 — Tune-Up with Teeth John Mateer’s OU debut looked surgical: 30/37 for 392 yards with 15 explosive completions. Ben Arbuckle kept it efficient. WR depth flashed, and TE/Kanak packages changed the math. Run game needs juice. Defense stayed vanilla but stingy, rotated a ton, and left room to crank up havoc before Michigan.

Timestamps 00:00 — Open, headlines, final score, vibe check 01:15 — QB John Mateer breakdown: accuracy, command, explosives 06:40 — WR/TE usage: Burks, Lewis, Sategna + Kanick/Huggins packages 10:50 — Run game reality: Blaylock’s case for RB1, Barnes/Ott notes 15:45 — What Arbuckle showed (and hid): stick/verts/dagger vs WSU staples 20:30 — Defense: rotation, structure, and why havoc was low by design 26:05 — Corrections & concerns: turnovers, penalties, pressure menu 30:10 — Michigan preview: OL reinforcements, RB rotation, sim-pressure watch
