Week 1 of the college football season brought us some exciting top-25 matchups. Quarterback play and offense overall, however, largely came up short in these contests—outside of the Notre Dame vs. Miami game. Week 2 is quickly approaching, and while the slate isn’t quite as strong, we do get one matchup between ranked opponents. The college football world will turn its attention to Norman, Oklahoma, where two storied programs—Michigan and Oklahoma—square off at 7:30 PM ET on Saturday. From a quarterback perspective, it’s a duel between the newcomer Bryce Underwood and veteran transfer John Mateer. Let’s take a closer look at both signal-callers, along with some of the available player props.

Bryce Underwood: Quarterback Bryce Underwood was the biggest name in last year’s recruiting cycle, ranked as the No. 1 overall prospect by both 247Sports and ESPN. Making his true freshman debut at home against New Mexico, Underwood went 21-of-31 for 251 passing yards, one touchdown through the air, and -5 rushing yards due to two sacks. FanDuel currently lists his props at 183.5 passing yards (over -114; under -114) and 1.5 passing touchdowns (over +205; under -290). Brent Venables appears to have the defense clicking now at Oklahoma, though their lone sample came against Illinois State—yet holding any opponent to just 22 passing yards is impressive. Expect Michigan to lean heavily on its ground game, but Underwood will still need to execute his role effectively if the Wolverines are to pull this one out.

John Mateer: Quarterback John Mateer made his first start for the Sooners last week after spending three seasons at Washington State, including one as the starter. He got off to a strong beginning, throwing for 392 yards with three passing touchdowns and one interception. On the ground, Mateer added seven carries for 24 yards and another score, while being sacked just once. This week his props are set at 233.5 passing yards (over -114; under -114), 1.5 passing touchdowns (over -106; under -125), and 35.5 rushing yards (over -114; under -114). I expect Oklahoma to lean on a pass-heavy attack, given Mateer’s experience and his early positioning as a Heisman frontrunner after Week 1. Rushing props for quarterbacks can be tricky, especially in college football where sacks count as negative yardage. Michigan will certainly be a major test for Oklahoma’s offense, but this Sooner unit should be prepared.
