Oklahoma Sooners news: Massive John Mateer upgrade, Bedlam football return and more

Injured Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer was upgraded from questionable to probable on Thursday's SEC Availability Report ahead of the Red River Rivalry. Probable means Mateer has a 75% chance of playing, so the No. 6 Sooners should have their starting quarterback against unranked Texas at 2:30 p.m. CT Saturday in Dallas.

Mateer's availability was in limbo all week because of an injury to his throwing hand.
