Mateer throws 2 touchdown passes, No. 24 Oklahoma looks shaky again in 14-6 win over New Mexico

No. 24 Oklahoma defeated New Mexico 14-6 Saturday night, improving to 2-1 after John Mateer threw two touchdown passes. The Sooners overcame a shaky start and leaned on their defense, which limited New Mexico to 69 rushing yards and 185 total yards.

Oklahoma led 7-0, surrendered two field goals, then gained breathing room when Mateer connected with Isaiah Sategna for a 53-yard touchdown. The Sooners had three first-half turnovers, including two Mateer interceptions, and now open SEC play at No. 2 Georgia next Saturday after falling to Michigan and dropping 13 spots in the AP Top 25.

RB Kewan Lacy (shoulder) not expected to be out long term, sources say

Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy’s left shoulder injury from last Saturday’s win over LSU is not expected to keep him out long term, sources told ESPN. Lacy is uncertain for this Saturday’s game at Florida after undergoing an MRI Sunday, and he will be monitored during the week to gauge his recovery.

Ole Miss coach Pete Golding said X-rays on Lacy’s shoulder were negative and that Lacy wanted to play through the pain, but JT Lindsey remained in the game after playing well. Lindsey, a sophomore and former LSU transfer, rushed for 20 yards on four carries in the 32-24 victory, while Lacy has 39 carries for 191 yards and four touchdowns this season.

LSU DB Dashawn Spears out for season with ACL injury; TE Trey'Dez Green to miss 'some games'

LSU will lose standout defensive back Dashawn Spears for the rest of the season after an MRI Sunday showed he sustained a season-ending ACL injury in Saturday night’s 32-24 loss to Ole Miss. The junior was in his first season as a full-time starter and had recently drawn attention from NFL scouts as an emerging prospect for next year’s draft.

Star tight end Trey'Dez Green is also set to miss time because of an apparent knee injury, but his mother said he did not tear any ligaments, surgery will not be needed, and he suffered “some bad sprains and bruises.” The length of Green’s absence is unclear; his mother said he will miss some games, with No. 10 LSU next hosting No. 23 Texas A&M on Saturday.
