Almost every time someone writes or says something about the Oklahoma Sooners’ improvement this season compared to last, new quarterback John Mateer is mentioned. Now, the Sooners will have to continue their rise without Mateer.
Mateer broke a bone in his throwing hand in the first quarter against Auburn on Sept. 20 and had surgery last week during OU’s bye week. Mateer will for sure be sidelined for the Sooners’ next game against Kent State on Saturday, but beyond that is still uncertain, but there’s hope and maybe even a chance he’s ready for the Red River Rivalry next week.
