  "account": "Norman — Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer experienced boos from the crowd during Saturday's game against New Mexico. The Sooners' quarterback knew he needed to improve significantly if the team was to tackle their challenging upcoming schedule. \"You don’t need to boo us,\" Mateer said post-game, acknowledging the crowd's response. He had a challenging night, throwing a pass back behind his body that was intercepted, and appearing to miscommunicate with wide receiver Parker Livingstone on another play. Despite these mistakes, Mateer remained the team's primary offensive contributor, finishing with 19 of 25 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns, as well as two interceptions. His strong performance in critical moments was praised by offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle. As the Sooners prepare to face No. 2 Georgia, Mateer will need to demonstrate his improvement if the team hopes to overcome their offensive struggles.",
  "summary": "OU football quarterback John Mateer is human. He knows he and the Sooners' offense will need to be a lot better vs Georgia.",
