Here's the video of Mayfield's actions towards Kansas, including cussing them out and grabbing his crotch. This came after Kansas players refused to shake Mayfield's hand and Mayfield took a cheap shot after a pass.

Mayfield is the current Heisman front-runner and has the Sooners in position to make the College Football Playoff. With Mayfield out, Kyler Murray will start. Murray, a transfer from Texas A&M, has played sparingly this year. He's completed 16 of 19 passes for 307 yards, 2 TDs and no picks. He's also a dangerous runner, averaging 6.2 yards per carry this year.
