The Red River Rivalry got even spicier Saturday afternoon, as the final Oklahoma injury report prior to the game did not list quarterback John Mateer – meaning Mateer is good to go just 17 days after surgery to repair a broken bone in his right throwing hand.
Mateer underwent surgery to repair that hand Sept. 25 after injuring it during the Sooners’ 24-17 victory over Auburn on Sept. 20. No. 6 Oklahoma has only played once since then – a 44-0 victory over Kent State – heading into Saturday’s matchup against unranked Texas (3:30 pm ET, ABC). Sooners backup quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. passed for 3 touchdowns and ran for another against Kent State.
Mateer was moved from questionable to probable by Oklahoma in the Thursday injury report. At the time of his injury against Auburn, Mateer was a Heisman Trophy candidate – having completed 67.4 percent of his passes for 1,215 yards and 6 touchdowns through 4 games. He also added 190 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns.
Texas leads the Red River Rivalry series 64–51–5, including last season’s 34-3 victory at the Cotton Bowl.
