Oklahoma’s John Mateer Questionable for Red River as Report Says He’ll Attempt to Play

The SEC lists the quarterback as questionable pending a game-time decision.

Overview

  • Pete Thamel reported that Mateer is in line to attempt to play against Texas, with his injured right hand to be monitored and no certainty he can go.
  • Brent Venables has not committed to a starter and said he will rely on the medical staff for clearance.
  • Oklahoma coaches noted Mateer has done no full-speed “good-on-good” throwing work during rehab.
  • The SEC student-athlete availability report lists Mateer as questionable, and Steve Sarkisian expects a final call roughly 90 minutes before kickoff.
  • Oklahoma is preparing for either scenario, with Michael Hawkins Jr. ready after starting in a 44–0 win over Kent State following Mateer’s recent hand surgery.
