NORMAN — South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers didn’t need to put up video-game numbers in his first game against Oklahoma. Sellers, a redshirt freshman in 2024, led the Gamecocks to a 35-9 win over the Sooners last year in the first-ever meeting ...

However, Mateer returned to action just 17 days after his hand surgery, performed by Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles. He was cleared by Oklahoma's medical team on Thursday. It was a heroic effort to return for Red River, as it was expected that Mateer would miss 2-4 games instead of just one, but he played poorly against Texas.

The Oklahoma Sooners' College Football Playoff chances took a bit of a hit in their 23-6 loss to the Texas Longhorns. The Sooners, who are a win away from matching their 2024 win total, still have every opportunity to make a run in the SEC and make the CFP. But they'll have to find some answers to the questions the Longhorns exposed.

After an emotional loss in Dallas, the Sooners look to recalibrate and refocus with an opportunity against the Gamecocks.
