Oklahoma's PFF Grades Following Its Triumphant First Road Trip to Gainesville

In this story:
These PFF grades reflect the initial grades published by Pro Football Focus. PFF often adjusts grades throughout the week.
Oklahoma's first trip to The Swamp was one to remember.
The week's headlines dealt with Ben Arbuckle's firing and the elevation of tight ends coach Jason Witten to offensive coordinator. Witten will enjoy another week's worth of headlines thanks to helping make OU's first trip to Gainesville memorable.
Both sides of the ball complemented each other as well as could have been expected — and then some. A historic drive on offense was supported by timely stops and turnovers by the defense.
Thanks to the effort in all phases, Oklahoma is 5-4 (3-3) with back-to-back home games to look forward to.
Offense
John Mateer handled himself well considering the criticism he dealt with during the week. Per Pro Football Focus, Mateer finished with an 87.4 rating on all 77 offensive snaps. He led the team in the overall grade.
After a week where he was the lowest graded player on the team, Michael Fasusi bounced back strong and finished with a 77.6 grade on all 77 offensive snaps. He was fourth on the offense and seventh on the team overall.
Jacob Jordan played a pivotal role on third down. His four catches were tied with three others for most on the team. Jordan finished with an 85.7 grade on 19 snaps.
