Baker Mayfield outduels record-setting Patrick Mahomes II in return to Lubbock

LUBBOCK, Texas -- After awhile, it became clear Saturday night that the quarterback who had the ball last was going to win.

Fortunately for the Sooners, that was Baker Mayfield.

In a wild shootout that shattered several FBS records, Mayfield outdueled Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, as Oklahoma survived 66-59.

Mayfield's return to Jones Stadium for the first time since transferring to Oklahoma from Texas Tech in 2013 was overshadowed by the absurdity of offense.
