STILLWATER, Okla. -- As he trudged off the field, Baker Mayfield barely had the energy left to clap for the smattering of Sooners fans in the northeast corner of Boone Pickens Stadium, much less plant another flag at midfield.
He had just passed for a school-record 598 yards and totaled six touchdowns, of which Oklahoma needed every one to escape against Oklahoma State with a 62-52 victory.
Had the Sooners had any other quarterback in college football Saturday, they surely would've lost one of the battiest Bedlams yet, an absurd back-and-forth shootout trumping the rivalry's own Looney Tunes standards.
