Will OU QB Mateer play against Texas?

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Red River Rivalry has a way of bringing out dramatic storylines. Ahead of the 2025 edition of Texas and Oklahoma football doing battle in Dallas, questions surround the Sooner’s starting quarterback.

John Mateer began the year on fire in his first year in Norman but suffered a broken bone in his throwing hand September 20. He had surgery just over two weeks ago.

The Southeastern Conference teams release an official injury report Wednesday evening every week and Mateer is listed as “questionable” by the Sooners. The Washington State transfer would be playing against Texas for the first time, should he able to suit up.

Mateer missed Oklahoma’s last game against Kent State, while backup Michael Hawkins got the start. Hawkins started last year against the Longhorns in a 34-3 Texas victory.
