Oklahoma Sooners starting quarterback Baker Mayfield apologized Monday for planting an Oklahoma flag on Ohio State's field after the Sooners defeated the Buckeyes 31-16 on Saturday evening.

"After the game, I did not mean for it to be disrespectful toward any Ohio State people at all, especially not the team or the players, because they're a great team and a great program," Mayfield said during a press conference. "I didn't mean it to be disrespectful at all. We do the flag thing at OU-Texas, so that's just something I got caught up in an emotional win.
