Saturday’s ‘Red River Rivalry’ between No. 6 Oklahoma and Texas has been a defensive battle so far.

The Sooners lead 6-3 at the break, but that score could have potentially been 9-3 if they attempted a 50-yard field goal with five seconds remaining in the half. Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables however decided to roll the dice on a passing play, which ended in John Mateer throwing his second interception of the half.

During the halftime broadcast, ESPN personality Booger McFarland ripped Oklahoma‘s decision to pass up on the field goal opportunity in a game where points are coming at a premium.

“That decision at the end of the first half by Brent Venables not to take the field goal is a bad decision,” McFarland said. “It’s a defensive game. Points are going to matter. That interception by John Mateer could come back to haunt them.”

Well ... far be it from me to question "God's gift to football," "Booger" ... but, maybe ... just maybe ... Coach Venables knew his offense was struggling against the Texas defense, and while they were way inside the red zone, he wanted to give his team the opportunity to put some real points on the board and give them some momentum before kicking off to the Longhorns in the second half, eh? It wasn't a "bad decision" ... it was a coaching decision ... by someone with bigger balls than you, "Booger." And as for "could come back to haunt them" ... well ... I suppose you would have felt a whole lot better losing to Texas by 23 to 9, rather than 23 to 6, eh? Putz. 

George Stoia III (@GeorgeStoia) ~ That was just a baffling mistake by Brent Venables and OU. Totally screwed up the clock management. For the #Sooners to not even get a field goal try there is so bad.

Ah, George ... you're a spineless putz, too.

This is football, you pansies ... take some risks ... take your best shots when you can.

Defense has dominated in the half, as the teams combined for just 284 yards. Texas recorded 114 yards, while Oklahoma fared a bit better with 170 yards. All three scores in the first half came by way of a field goal.

ESPN Analyst Had Harsh Take on Strategy to Stop Oklahoma QB John Mateer

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer is back on the field today just a little more than two weeks after having surgery on his throwing hand.

It’s understandable that Mateer would be eager to get back onto the field this week, as the Sooners are taking on Texas in the annual Red River Rivalry game, but his quick return also means he has a clear target for the Longhorns defense painted right on him.

ESPN analyst Booger McFarland said what the Texas defense was already thinking just a few minutes before kickoff from the Cotton Bowl. “That’s a thumb and a hand I would be looking to step on,” McFarland said as the broadcast went to commercial.

Okay ... is there any evidence ... ANY ... that the Longhorns were going to intentionally try to do something so dirty as to step on his hand when Mateer was down OR that they actually attempted or did do so??? The answer is absolutely NOT, you whining fantasists. All you have is some guy named "Booger" who said that this is what HE would do. So, F*CK OFF.

While it could be seen as a bit gauche for McFarland to lay things out so plainly, he’s not exactly wrong that the Texas defense would be looking for any and every edge to slow down Mateer and the Oklahoma offense.

Oh, the Longhorns hit him, all right, but that's what happens when you choose to go out onto that field of play ... just ask Arch Manning after last week's Florida game, you pansies. 

Fans were split on McFarland’s maybe-a-bit-too-honest analysis.

Just Trae (@trae__trae) ~ He not lying.

What he's doing is fantasizing and casting aspersions for clicks, which was irresponsible and childish. 

Ben Ross (@BenRossTweets) ~ Wild (and gross) thing to admit.

Oh, grow up, Ben ... you've been played by the sports media. There was no "admission" to anything ... just someone's imagination run amok. 

Mason Voth (@TheRealMasonV) ~ Respect the honesty of how the game is played.

The true honesty is that the defense ... any defense ... is going to try to put good, hard hits on the offense - and that includes the quarterback. Get over it, already.

As it turns out, Mateer’s hand would become a factor before the game was over. Just before halftime, the broadcast reported that Mateer was bleeding a bit around his thumb wrap after it was struck by a helmet.

Despite the setback, Mateer did not miss a snap.

Because Mateer is a gamer ... unlike you milksops.
