Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer is listed as questionable for Saturday’s rivalry game against Texas on the team’s initial availability report, which was released on Wednesday night. Mateer is still working his way back from hand surgery, but he has not been ruled out for the Red River Rivalry yet.
Mateer suffered the injury in the Sooners’ 24-17 win over Auburn on Sept. 20, and he hasn’t played since. CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported Tuesday that there is some “optimism” Mateer could be back in time for the No. 6 Sooners to face the unranked Longhorns.
“Like we’ve reported the last couple weeks, it continues to be possible he ends up playing this week, but no final call has been made as of yet,” Zenitz said. “The post-surgery feedback was very good and led to optimism regarding the recovery timetable.”

Prior to the injury, Mateer, a Washington State transfer, had worked his way into the thick of the Heisman Trophy race with his dual-threat ability. Through four games, Mateer completed 67.4% of his passes for 1,215 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions. He was also a weapon in the running game, where he totaled 190 yards and five scores. At the time of his injury, Mateer ranked second nationally with 351.3 total yards per game.
With so much uncertainty surrounding the Oklahoma quarterback situation, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian admitted his coaching staff has no choice but to prepare for what Mateer brings. Texas is currently a 1.5-point favorite at FanDuel for Saturday’s game.
“We’ll plan for Mateer, you have to,” Sarkisian said. “He’s a dynamic player, he’s the heartbeat of that offense for sure, everything goes through him.”
With Mateer out, backup Michael Hawkins Jr. was pressed into starting duty for Oklahoma’s win over Kent State in Week 6. The sophomore completed 14 of his 24 passing attempts for 162 yards and three touchdowns while adding 33 yards and a score on the ground. If Mateer cannot play, Hawkins will start for the second consecutive season against the Longhorns. Hawkins finished 19 of 30 for 148 yards in last year’s 34-3 loss.
Oklahoma improved to 5-0 with the 44-0 win over Kent State. Texas, meanwhile, dropped to 3-2 and fell out of the AP Top 25 after a 29-21 road loss to Florida.

Přijít o hattrick zahozenou penaltou by mě mrzelo, přiznal útočník jednadvacítky Mašek
„Tam bylo špatně snad všechno. Výška, razance… Naštěstí jsem na to pak zareagoval tím třetím gólem. Celkově asi můžu být s tím zápasem spokojený,“ říkal Mašek.Češi kvalifikaci na mistrovství Evropy, které v roce 2027 budou hostit Albánie a Srbsko, rozehráli výborně. Porazili Skotsko (2:0) a zvítězili i na Gibraltaru. Třetí výhru přidali proti Ázerbájdžánu. Nerodila se ale lehce. V prvním poločase sice Češi soupeře přehrávali, gól dal Mašek ale až ve 40. minutě.„Hodně nám pomohl. Pak už jsme si těch šancí tvořili víc a víc. Ve druhé půlce jsme dali druhý gól, třetí a už to z naší strany bylo super,“ líčil 21letý rodák z Mladé Boleslavi. „No a pak ta penalta. To tak ale někdy je,“ pousmál se.Pokutové kopy jsou pro Čechy v dobře rozehrané kvalifikaci zatím asi nejtvrdším oříškem. Kopali dva, ovšem tu proti Skotsku v úvodním duelu kvalifikace natřikrát. Brankář Adams v Uherském Hradišti nejprve chytil pokus Ondřeje Kričfalušiho, rozhodčí ale nechali penaltu […]
Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis vs. Uisma Lima fight predictions, odds, undercard, preview, start time, where to watch
Jaron "Boots" Ennis returns to the ring on Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, looking to continue his ascent as one of boxing's top American stars. While Ennis is facing Uisma Lima, much of the attention during fight week has been on a potential fight between Ennis and Vergil Ortiz in 2026.Understandably, many are overlooking Lima (14-1, 10 KO) as a legitimate challenge to Ennis (34-0, 30 KO). After all, Lima's toughest fight came in 2023 against Aaron McKenna in a bout McKenna won by a near shutout on the scorecards. While Lima, an Angolan fighter competing out of Portugal, has traveled the world picking up solid wins in Germany, Canada and South Africa since that defeat, Ennis represents an entirely different level of opposition from the likes of Shervantaigh Koopman.The real drama in this fight comes from Ennis […]

Brother of Nikola Jokić pleads guilty to punching fan during 2024 Nuggets playoff game
Getty Images Strahinja Jokić, the older brother of Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić, pleaded guilty Friday to charges stemming from a fight that occurred during an NBA playoff game in April 2024. He pleaded guilty to one count of trespassing and one count of disorderly conduct. He was sentenced to one year of probation.The incident drew widespread attention after a short video of the altercation circulated on social media following the Nuggets' Game 2 win against the Los Angeles Lakers last postseason. The clip, which was later cited in a police statement of probable cause, appeared to show a verbal exchange between the Jokić brothers and a fan before one of the brothers struck the man in the face. Investigators identified Strahinja Jokić as the person who threw the punch. According to police documents, he told officers he "felt he'd […]
Serious problem uncovered in Juan Soto’s Mets locker room
When Steve Cohen invested $765 million to build a championship team, signing Juan Soto in the process, the New York Mets were supposed to represent the pinnacle of big-market ambition.
