Oklahoma is working under the assumption John Mateer will miss the Texas game, meaning Michael Hawkins Jr. could start his second consecutive Red River Rivalry.

The Sooners have belief in Hawkins, but after an uneven (and productive) start against Kent State, he'll need to be better against Texas.

Has anyone tried unplugging the Ravens and plugging them back in, or blowing on the cartridge?

Oklahoma WR Keontez Lewis receives "promising" evaluation after injuring his back in a violent collision with a brick wall and being carted off the field Saturday.

Plus, Brent Venables assume John Mateer will be out for next week's Red River Rivalry, and more in the postgame notebook:

Oklahoma edge rusher R Mason Thomas was just informed Texas lost to Florida.

“They lost? Oh, really?… We’re gonna get their best shot…. They’re gonna have something dialed up for us.”

More Brent Venables on Keontez Lewis:

“He was alert. He was in some pain in his back.... He was going full-speed and ran into the wall. You’re dang right I was concerned, but thankful… he was very coherent. Head’s fine. Legs are fine. It’s probably like being in a car wreck, I would guess."

Brent Venables says he's "assuming (John Mateer) can't" play next weekend against Texas.

Mateer had thumb surgery 10 days ago.

Brent Venables with a postgame update on injured WR Keontez Lewis: “The initial evaluation was good, promising. I think the latest scans were good as well, but man, what a scary thing for him. Hopefully he’ll be OK long-term here.”

Official update on Oklahoma wide receiver Keontez Lewis, who was carted off in the first quarter following a collision with the brick wall behind the end zone.

An initial evaluation of Lewis “proved promising.” He has been sent offsite for additional testing out of an abundance of caution.

Oklahoma has gotten its first turnover of the season.

Strip-sack by R Mason Thomas, with Gracen Halton getting the scoop-and-score.

Halftime in Norman: No. 5 Oklahoma leads Kent State, 23-0.

Update per OU radio broadcast: Wide receiver Keontez Lewis -- who was carted off on a stretcher early in the first quarter -- was up and walking around in the training room.

Great news for Lewis after a scary collision with a brick wall.
