OU quarterbacks coach John Kuceyeski knows John Mateer as a player better than probably anyone. Kuceyeski has been coaching Oklahoma's starting quarterback since he first arrived at Washington State. The two have been attached at the hip for the duration of Mateer's college career. And that has come with a lot of ups and downs over the last four years. Last year specifically -- their first season at OU -- there were some real low moments for Mateer. From breaking his thumb to throwing 11 interceptions and only 14 touchdowns, he didn't have the year he wanted. And now, it's up to Kuceyeski to get his quarterback back to playing like he did at Washington State.
