No. 10 Oklahoma has another stout defense and its QB back. The run game is a question mark

  • No. 10 Oklahoma finished the 2025 season with a 10-3 record and could compete for the national championship if they maintain a strong defense, improve their running game, and navigate a tough early road schedule.
  • The defense is led by defensive end Taylor Wein and linebackers Owen Heinecke and Kip Lewis, with former five-star recruit David Stone expected to play a larger role at tackle.
  • Starting quarterback John Mateer, leading receiver Isaiah Sategna, four starting offensive linemen, and kicker Tate Sandell return, boosting the team's offense.
  • Mateer passed for 2,885 yards with 14 touchdowns and ran for 431 yards with eight scores last season; however, Oklahoma ranked 13th in rushing in the Southeastern Conference, averaging 118.5 yards per game.
