Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer might not be healthy in time for Saturday's rivalry game against Texas in Dallas. Mateer suffered an injury to his right hand - his throwing hand - during Oklahoma's 24-17 win over Auburn on Sept. 20. He played three quar ters with the injury and scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 9-yard run while hurt. He had surgery during Oklahoma's bye week, then sat out last week's 44-0 win over Kent State. Oklahoma coach Brent Venables said Mateer, one of the top quarterbacks in the nation before the injury, has not practiced against the Sooners' first-string defense since the injury. Michael Hawkins Jr. and Whitt Newbauer are getting practice reps against the defensive starters for the sixth-ranked Sooners (5-0, 1-0 SEC).Ve nables said he's depending on the doctors to let him know what to do. "John is doing no good-on-good work," Venables said. "So it's Michael and Whitt right now. If something changes, I'll let you know. But I think if you're going to play, you've got to d o good on good, right?" There's still time before Saturday's game, and plenty can change. And if Mateer is available, it makes sense to play him. The transfer from Washington State has passed for 1,215 yards and six touchdowns and rushed for 190 yards an d five scores in four games. "We'll plan for Mateer," Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said. "You have to. He's a dynamic player. He's the heartbeat of that offense for sure. Everything goes through him." If it's not Mateer, Hawkins will start. Hawkins starte d in last year's loss to Texas and struggled in the 34-3 romp. Sarkisian said Hawkins is no longer that true freshman who was overwhelmed at the Cotton Bowl last year. Hawkins threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score against Kent State. Texas (3- 2, 0-1) expects a more mature version this time around if he plays. - AP College Football

Oklahoma turned a breather of a game sandwiched between tougher tests into a bit of child's play at the home of the defending Super Bowl champions. OU coach Brent Venables says his team's performance when they're on "resembles recess." John Mateer threw for 282 yards and a touchdown and had a 51-yard rushing score and Tory Blaylock rushed for 100 yards and a pair of TDs to lead No. 13 Oklahoma to a 42-3 victory over Temple on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field, home to the Philadelphia Eagles. "This is a very hungry, driven, humble, tough, high-standard group of young men that like to be pushed, liked to be challenged, they like to practice," Venables said. "When they play together, it does, it kind of resembles recess. I say that respectfully. They h ave fun." The Sooners (3-0) had tons of fun early when they scored on their first four possessions and took a 25-0 lead in the first half.OU made a rare trip to the East Coast and boasted a solid turnout of fans - even while the marching band stay ed home - and crimson and cream were the primary colors among an announced crowd of 24,927 fans. Even with the solid OU turnout, that number failed the eye test - though the Sooners looked every bit a playoff contender as advertised. Jovantae Barnes scor ed a 3-yard rushing TD on the opening drive and OU converted the 2-point conversion for the 8-0 lead. The Owls (2-1) made a nice defensive stand on the next drive, with a sack and a tackle for a loss that pushed the Sooners into a fourth-and-long. No pro blem for OU. Tate Sandell promptly kicked a 52-yard field goal. So it went from there. Blaylock added TD runs of 6 and 18 yards in the second quarter for the Sooners and the expected rout - they were a 24-point favorite, per Sportsbook - was on. OU also beat Temple 51-3 in 2024. Mateer, the former Washington State QB and one of the most coveted players out of the transfer portal, threw a 6-yard TD pass to Xavier Robinson in the second half and made it 42-3 with a 51-yard scoring run later in the third. Mateer leads the nation with at least one rushing and one passing touchdown in nine straight games. - Oklahoma/AP College Football
