With three games remaining, here are there things to watch for with OU football as it makes a College Football Playoff push.

The Oklahoma Sooners are preparing for a challenging game against the Tennessee Volunteers, with quarterback John Mateer facing scrutiny after recent performances.

The Sooners won the game last year in Norman, 24-3, off a strong defensive effort, which featured a pick-six from Kip Lewis and an interception by Eli Bowen. The Sooners' offense was led by a running game that featured 100-yard performances from running back Xavier Robinson and then starting quarterback Jackson Arnold.

Redshirt junior quarterback John Mateer also contributed to the running success against Tennessee; he put up a season-high 80 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground. He delivered the Sooners' final score of the game with a 1-yard rush into the end zone in the fourth quarter.

OU football coach Brent Venables called the proposed west side renovations of Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium "exciting" on Monday.

It was a bye week for the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday, with the team enjoying some much-needed rest after a grueling back-to-back series against Ole Miss and Tennessee, where they fought a physical game for four quarters of each and pulling out a monumental victory over the Volunteers last week.

These Oklahoma Sooners are the 10 highest-graded players on offense through Week 10 of the 2025 college football season.
