Listen "Mateer or Hawkins: The Decision That Could Define Red River"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Sooner Nation Podcast, we dive deep into the most pressing storyline: Will John Mateer take the field, or will Michael Hawkins Jr. carry the load? We unpack the thumb injury, surgery, and cautious comments from Venables as he balances hope and patience. We talk Hawkins’ steady play, Oklahoma’s elite defense, and how the rivalry with Texas becomes an even bigger test under these circumstances.
Along the way, we explore what Oklahoma is being asked to prove—whether this program can withstand adversity and redefine itself beyond one star quarterback. We also shift gears to SEC Power Rankings, running from #16 to #1 and unpacking fallers, risers, and surprises — with Oklahoma still holding unanimous top spot.
Get ready for narrative, analysis, and predictions. Boomer Sooner.
