How Can Kansas State Take Down The Conference Champ

... against Oklahoma and a slightly smaller talent deficit than the past two seasons, still can’t stand toe to toe with the Sooners and beat them at their game. The Wildcats need to be opportunistic, as in 2012, when they scored an early defensive touchdown, and in 2014, when a late goal-line stand led to a short Oklahoma field-goal miss that could have won it. What’s holding them back? Pretty simply, the inability to stop Mayfield. Oklahoma’s record-setting quarterback has completed 45 of 58 over the past two years against Kansas State for 628 yards, nine touchdowns and one interception. Another such performance as a senior from Mayfield would keep K-State from victory. Mayfield does not have the services this season of Sterling Shepherd (gone after 2015) and Dede Westbrook at receiver, or Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon at running back. Inevitably, though, players nearly as talented will fill their former roles for Oklahoma. The Wildcats must keep the Oklahoma skill players under control. But first, they must focus on slowing Mayfield, who makes his teammates better with his command and precision behind the best offensive line in the Big 12. Conversely, Kansas State ...

Brad Underwood, Like Baker Mayfield, Knows Bedlam Is Best With A Little Feisty Banter

... the Sooners’ student section during that game. TYLER DRABEK/for the Tulsa World. TURN CAPTIONS OFF. Updated: Friday February 17, 2017 5:52 pm. STILLWATER — The ultimate Bedlam warriors have always balanced hostility with civility. Baker Mayfield does that now. Oklahoma’s quarterback is a big fan of his counterpart from Oklahoma State. But Mayfield’s personal feelings about Mason Rudolph didn’t keep him from prancing around Owen Field in a “back-to-back” shirt after OU’s Big 12 championship triumph over the Cowboys in December or from firing back at OSU signee Fua Leilua on Twitter last month. Leilua: “We’re taking the Big 12 Championship mark my words.”. Mayfield, with a selfie of that shirt included: “Good luck with that.”. Among coaches, nobody had a healthier distaste for OSU than Kelvin Sampson. He stewed on Bedlam Week. And yet three weeks after the 2001 plane crash that took 10 OSU lives, Sampson sent his Sooners out for warmups at Gallagher-Iba Arena in orange ...

Detienen A Prospecto De Draft Baker Mayfield

... presentarse el 7 de abril por el cargo de encontrarse en ebriedad en público, por el que se le fijó una fianza de 1,535 dólares antes de ser liberado. Baker Mayfield comprometió sus bonos del draft y participación en el Combinado de Talento. AP Photo. Parte del reporte del oficial que arrestó a Mayfield fue publicado por la KFOR de Oklahoma. "Le pedí a Mayfield que se detuviera y hablara conmigo, comenzó a decir que estaba tratando de separar una pelea que sucedió antes de mi llegada", señala el informe. "Le pedí que se quedara para tomar su declaración para mi reporte. Estaba gritando groserías y estaba provocando un problema, estaba ebrio, tuvo problemas para bajar un par de escaleras. "Mayfield tenía problemas para hablar y tenía olor a alcohol, su ropa estaba cubierta de comida, le pedí que me acompañara. Cuando le di esa orden, comenzó a ...

Comparing An Ou Commit To An Ou Legacy

... dynamic. Maybe Rising could become Mayfield, but true believers think Thompson could become something closer to Lamar Jackson (without quite as much speed, obviously). His listed 40 on Hudl is.15 seconds faster than Rising’s, and he clearly looks to take off much faster than the current OU commit. Do we want such talent in the hands of the ‘Horns? A Tuesday Burnt Orange Nation report says Thompson will be in Austin this weekend, with a decision expected later this spring. I will be committing this spring! Most likely during spring eval or spring ball April/May. Announcing a commitment date later ⌛️. — Casey Thompson (@Lil Thurm) February 19, 2017. Thompson does, of course, hold a (probably uncommitable) Sooners offer in his back pocket. Despite the odds, his 247 page still gives OU a 50% chance of nabbing the Southmoore star. Some of that, I assume, comes from skepticism that Rising will actually stay on with the Sooners. He does, after all, hold offers from almost every major program on the West Coast. He could stay home if he wanted to. But again, I’d be shocked if Rising reverses course now. And every day that passes, as more ...

Baker Mayfield Arrested

... season Sept. 2 against UTEP and then travels to Ohio State in Week 2. Precedents set elsewhere for this type of arrest indicate that Mayfield would miss part or all of the UTEP game but be in uniform against the Buckeyes, but there’s no guarantee how OU will handle this, and it’s what many will be keenly watching. More immediately, the Sooners open spring practice March 21 and their spring game is set for April 8. If Mayfield is held out of any portion of spring ball, note that Texas A&M transfer Kyler Murray is eligible this season for OU. Murray is currently playing for the OU baseball team, however; it’s unclear how he intends to split time between the two sports or if this would alter that plan. One takeaway, should the charges stand, is that it puts a smudge on one of the best stories going in college football. Mayfield is known as a team leader, a central factor in the Sooners having improved chemistry the past two seasons. He’s often been the subject of g lowing media profiles that focus on his affable ...

Big 12 Pre-spring Position Rankings

... in 2015, Grier had thrown for 10 touchdowns and completed 66 percent of his passes. After backing up Skyler Howard last season, Chris Chugunov figures to be the favorite over Cody Saunders to do the same behind Grier this fall. 7. Baylor: Zach Smith struggled last year as a freshman after replacing an injured Seth Russell. But he had a breakout performance in Baylor's bowl game, throwing for 375 yards and three touchdowns in the rout of Boise State. The QB battle between Smith and Arizona transfer Anu Solomon will be one of the more interesting ones in the conference. During his three-year career at Arizona, Solomon threw for 6,922 yards, 49 touchdowns and 16 interceptions, but his 2016 season was derailed by a nagging knee injury. In Matt Rhule's first class, the Bears also signed Charlie Brewer , the younger brother of former Texas Tech and Virginia Tech QB Michael Brewer. 8. Texas ...
