An update on Mateer's potential status for the Red River Rivalry game just leaked, and it's sparking anxiety within Longhorn Nation.
According to multiple sources, there was always a chance that Oklahoma star quarterback John Mateer could play against Texas, but it would've apparently been a "long shot". He had surgery to repair a broken bone in his throwing hand, and it seems like that would take more than just a couple of weeks to heal.
Unfortunately for the Longhorns, Mateer has other plans according to Jason Suchomel of OrangeBloods.
