DALLAS (AP) — Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer started for the sixth-ranked Sooners in their Red River rivalry game against Texas on Saturday, returning to the lineup 17 days after surgery on his throwing hand.

Mateer injured his right hand in Oklahoma's home win over Auburn on Sept. 20. He had surgery four days after that during a bye week, then didn't play in the home win over Kent State last Saturday.

Keontez Lewis also was back for the Sooners, just a week after a scary incident when the receiver's momentum sent him headfirst into a brick wall behind the end zone in Norman. He was briefly motionless and attended to for about 10 minutes before being carted off the field. He got hurt when going after an overthrown pass by backup quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr.
