John Mateer heard the noise and agonized over the memories. It didn't matter against Texas this time round. How the Oklahoma QB proved himself a hero:
John Mateer, the Oklahoma quarterback, has been haunted by his performance against Texas last season. His struggles have raised doubts about his role as the team's starter. However, in a dramatic upset victory over the No. 1-ranked Texas team on October 10, Mateer proved his resilience and value to the Sooners. With just 19 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Mateer made two game-changing passes to secure the victory with a 47-yard field goal from Tate Sandell.
