NORMAN, Okla. — As he jogged off the field, his rib protector hanging out of his jersey and the red sleeve on his right arm held high, quarterback John Mateer surveyed his still-new dominion of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and soaked in an atmosphere celebrating his exploits.
The new king was gallivanting around his castle or, more accurately, a Palace on the Prairie in this case, and enjoying the aftermath of the first marquee win of his Sooner career after running through (74 yards) and throwing over (270) No. 18 Michigan in a game that was far more one-sided than the 24–13 final score.
