Mateer's Injury Impacts Odds on Heisman: Sooners Go From 16-1 to 25-1
Oklahoma football is hurting right now.
First, longtime Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy was fired earlier today (ok...some fans may be rejoicing at that).
And then we received news that Heisman favorite, overall nice guy and best-hair-in-football John Mateer would be out indefinitely after undergoing hand surgery.
Who knows how long Mateer will be out, some say he might be back in a month, but the loss has had instant ramifications across all of the college football odds, although some didn't move as much as you might think.
