Top Five Takeaways from Oklahoma Football's Win over New Mexico

Oklahoma slipped past New Mexico 14-6 in Norman, improving to 2-1, but the matchup left the program with more questions than confidence. The Sooners were a heavy three-touchdown favorite at home, and the defensive performance kept them in control despite an uneven overall feel. Among the top takeaways, the offense under Ben Arbuckle is described as lacking movement in the trenches and producing little sustained rhythm; the running game is cited at 110.3 yards per game. John Mateer’s struggles are another concern, with 238 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions against New Mexico, alongside the need for quicker decision-making. Isaiah Sategna delivered 101 yards and a touchdown.
