NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — John Mateer threw three touchdown passes, Isaiah Sategna returned a punt 88 yards for a score and No. 10 Oklahoma overpowered UTEP 51-0 on Friday night in the season opener for both teams. The Sooners scored on their first eight possessions and limited UTEP to 198 yards. Sategna scored twice and finished with 215 all-purpose yards. Mateer looked sharp, completing 11 of 17 passes for 225 yards before being pulled late in the third quarter. He threw scoring passes of 40 yards to Colorado State transfer Rocky Beers, 34 yards to Sategna and 48 yards to Virginia transfer Trell Harris. “He played like you want your quarterback to play,” Sooners coach Brent Venables said. "Just do what we need the quarterback to do. You know, manage things, take what's there, make good decisions, protect the football, getting us out of negative plays. He did a lot of really good things.
