After being told he wouldn't start or be a captain for Saturday's game against West Virginia, Baker Mayfield took his punishment hard.

The Oklahoma quarterback was emotional in an interview Monday, per Jake Trotter of ESPN:

"Playing at OU is something I always dreamed of. Not starting is what it is. But not being a team captain is something so much more," Mayfield explained, per Trotter. "It would be hard if it were a regular game. But it being my last one here ever, it means a lot more. It's going to be tough.
