New Oklahoma QB Comments on Red River Shootout Against Texas

It seems like every year now Oklahoma has a different quarterback under center for the Red River Rivalry.

Especially recently with Sooners quarterbacks Michael Hawkins Jr., Dillon Gabriel, Davis Beville, and Caleb Williams starting against Texas the last four years. Assuming there are no injuries before the anticipated matchup, Oklahoma will field another new face against Texas this year in transfer quarterback John Mateer.

It will be Mateer's first time participating in the rivalry game and it would also become Texas quarterback Arch Manning's first start against Oklahoma. Mateer spoke with the media this week and shared his excitement for one of the most unique environments in college football.

"I only went to one (Red River Shootout) growing up, I don't remember which one it was. But I watched all of them, all of the highlights," Mateer began. "I've watched some film on it and all you see is a sea of people and it's like - this is insane. And I am so excited," he said.
