Mayfield takes charge and leads Sooners to 52-38 record-setting win over TU
Oklahoma’s game against Tulsa was like walking a tight rope without a net.
After TU scored 14 points in the last minute of the first half, closing the Sooners lead to seven, it seemed like the game was just a play or two away from falling into disaster.
But, then, Baker Mayfield came in and said, at least figuratively, “we got this.”
Mayfield set a school record with 572 yards. He threw four touchdown passes. He ran for two more.
And Oklahoma won 52-38, in a game where the offense bailed out the defense, which struggled defending against TU’s Baylor-esque offense. It was a returned favor from the previous week, when the defense seemed to keep Oklahoma in the game at Tennessee even when the offense sputtered.
