Venables gets a mulligan if they sit Mateer and get beat by Texas. Nobody is going to blame him. He needs to sit Mateer for self-preservation unless the dude is anywhere close to 100%.

 

They can claim a mental moral victory on the season if they play his health right, the question is what is more important to them, a better chance at beating us or an overall (perceived) quality season

Best case scenario for OU is to keep it close or pull out a miracle with Hawkins, then try to get a second shot in the SEC championship or in the playoff if they can make it through.  I think the goodwill is high enough with Venables right now that he doesn't need the excuse directly to save his job.  That could obviously change based on the rest of the year.

You type that as if it is a bad thing.

In expanded playoff era you're 100% spot on imo.  But he could feel great and push to play, between him and his surgeon imo.  But with OU's schedule they can easily lose 2 and definitely be in and if they lose 3 and one is w no Mateer they still have a decent shot.

This scenario implies a potential 2008 fuckery possibility.

Oklahoma is crazy, but they aren't Ohio State level crazy. 

If Vegetables loses to Texas but otherwise has a great year and hits the playoffs they'll be happy to be functional again and aim at us next year.

Yeah, there are few defenses in college football you would never want to play an injured QB against with a shitty OL. We are one of them.

I'm not so sure I wouldn't prefer Mateer trying to come back for our game. The injury and surgery is to his throwing hand.  If he comes back for that game, his passing is going to be all kinds of fucked up, he will be a fumbling machine if he tries to run the ball, and we are going to attack him mercilessly with Simmons and co.
