mateer made a crucial mental error and it cascaded into a downward spiral

he should've run for the first down. granted, he threw an accurate pass but it was dropped. it was 3rd down and they were on their way to a score. no time to get greedy. no telling how many yards he could've run for. then the punter screws the pooch and then mateer makes another mental error.

he is in much better shape mentally but can he come back? OK's defense will have to go all out, because they have made alabama believe the game is theirs. first and second possessions for alabama are going to be critical in this game for the second half.
