Ten points in Ann Arbor, and the room voted to leave Mateer and Arbuckle there as collateral.
The emotional rollercoaster
Oklahoma fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Oklahoma went to Ann Arbor with a top-ten ceiling and came home 1-1, dropping a 10-17 decision that felt decided long before the final whistle. The turning point was the offense's refusal to score, a ten-point afternoon that turned hope into resignation and inspired one fan to suggest leaving "Mateer and Arbuckle in Ann Arbor." Misery doubled from 41 to 85 in seven days. Another put it plainly: "never place your hopes and dreams on Oklahoma." September, and the lesson has already been retaught.

“Arbuckle needs to bench Mateer or update his resume. On the final drive, Mateer throws it to a double covered Beers when Elijah Thomas could’ve walked into the end zone.”
