There's been a lot made this week about OU quarterback John Mateer and the passing game. And rightfully so. Oklahoma's QB has not seen the field well in recent weeks. But what has been equally as bad is the quarterback run game. That was expected to be a big part of the offense season, and it was at the beginning of the season.
