John Mateer's availability shouldn't be focus for Texas ahead of Red River Rivalry

The Red River Rivalry is already right around the corner, and the Texas Longhorns are flying toward their second top-10 matchup of the season as they prepare to take on the currently-ranked No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners.

The biggest question mark for the Sooners is their quarterback, with QB1 John Mateer undergoing hand surgery less than two weeks ago and his availability not entirely nailed down for the rivalry game.

The biggest question for the Longhorns is, well, everything. Texas quarterback Arch Manning failed to find consistency against the Florida Gators as the running back room fell well short of expectations once again.
