NORMAN, Okla. -- TCU coach Gary Patterson and Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield have made nice this week.
Patterson spoke glowingly about his respect for Mayfield's game and the fire with which he plays it.
Mayfield talked about his admiration for the high level that has come to be expected from Patterson's defense every season.
Saturday, when the No. 5 Sooners and No. 6 Horned Frogs meet in Norman, Mayfield and Patterson will be at the center.
Mayfield has turned from a Heisman Trophy contender into the clear favorite after throwing for 598 yards and five touchdowns a week ago in a win over Oklahoma State.
