Ian Maule Tulsa WorldANAHEIM, Calif. -- Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield was nowhere to be seen Wednesday, but coach Lincoln Riley said there’s no reason to worry.
“He’s sick,” Riley said. “He’s going to live.”
The Sooners kicked off Rose Bowl week with an afternoon at Disneyland on Wednesday. Mayfield was scheduled to appear at a joint press conference with Georgia along with teammates Steven Parker, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and Orlando Brown.
