FORT WORTH, Texas -- We should've seen it coming, really. Everything had aligned perfectly for a classic Baker Mayfield performance.
A must-win game in a hostile road environment, one with so many personal motivations, was the perfect stage for Oklahoma’s quarterback to remind everyone he’s still the real deal. He delivered in a 52-46 win against TCU like he did so many times in 2015.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops needed to see a whole lot of fight from his team after its 1-2 start. That demand was tested immediately, when Mayfield fumbled on the third play of the day and spotted TCU a 7-0 lead that grew to 21-7.
