QUARTERBACK

• John Mateer is OU's confirmed starter

  8.69 Y/A

  John Mateer is OU's confirmed starting quarterback. Oklahoma's September 24 official game primer identifies Mateer as being in his second season as OU's starter and discusses the listed backup quarterbacks behind him. 2026 line: 652 passing yards, 62.7% completions, 8.69 yards per attempt, 6-3 TD-INT over 3 games.

• Gunner Stockton is UGA's confirmed starter

  12.96 Y/A

  Gunner Stockton is UGA's confirmed starting quarterback. Georgia's current-week official game notes show Stockton started all three 2026 games and identify Ryan Puglisi as the first quarterback off the bench. 2026 line: 583 passing yards, 84.4% completions, 12.96 yards per attempt, 9-0 TD-INT over 3 games.

TRENCHES

• UGA: 45.3 rushing yards allowed per game to OU's 111

  65.7 YPG

  Georgia has allowed 45.3 rushing yards a game through 3 games, and Oklahoma has given up 111. That low a number usually means opponents stopped trying to run, either because they fell behind or because the front shut it down early, and three games can't tell those apart. Expect Oklahoma to lean on the pass if the run stalls, which shifts yardage toward its passing props.

PACE & SCRIPT

• UGA: 59.3 points per game to OU's 25

  34.3 PPG

  OU is at 25 points per game over 3 games; UGA is at 59.3 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 25. Last season OU was at 26.2 over 13 games and UGA at 32.1 over 14 games.

• OU @ UGA carries a 44.5 market total

  44.5

  At 44.5, this sits 10 points under the 54.5 slate median, so the market expects two defenses to control the game and possessions to run long. Scoring likely comes slowly, with field goals carrying weight. For the number to break, the game needs short fields from turnovers or a couple of explosive plays that skip the long drive. Red zone finishing is the swing factor.

• OU: 27:42 time of possession per game to UGA's 19:14

  8:28 TOP

  OU is at 27:42 time of possession per game over 3 games; UGA is at 19:14 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 25. Last season OU was at 29:44 over 13 games and UGA at 33:53 over 14 games.

TURNOVERS

• UGA: 1.67 takeaways per game to OU's 0.67

  1 TO

  OU is at 0.67 takeaways per game over 3 games; UGA is at 1.67 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 25.

MISMATCH

• UGA: 254 rush yards a game to OU's 110.3

  254 VS 110.3

  Georgia is running for 254 yards a game over 3 games, up from 182.1 last season. Oklahoma is at 110.3, close to its 118.5 from a year ago. Oklahoma's number matches its history and looks real, while Georgia's jump off three games has more room to settle. At home Georgia can grind with the run, and Oklahoma likely has to move the ball through the air because the ground game has not been there for two seasons.

COVERAGE

• OU: 22.5% third downs allowed to UGA's 37.5%

  15 PP

  Oklahoma has let opponents convert 22.5% of third downs over 3 games, and Georgia has allowed 37.5%. A number that low over three games tends to drift up, and a trip to Georgia is a tougher test than most. Oklahoma's run defense has given up more than Georgia's, so if Georgia runs well on early downs, it may face fewer third downs in the first place.

• OU: 100.3 passing yards allowed per game to UGA's 165

  64.7 YPG

  OU is at 100.3 passing yards allowed per game over 3 games; UGA is at 165 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 25.
