As the calendar turns from October to November, football takes center stage. While it's always too premature to discuss playoff options prior to Thanksgiving, the Oklahoma Sooners are in a strong position to win the Big 12 and that conversation thanks to a surging Heisman favorite. Baker Mayfield, a former walk on quarterback, is putting up video game numbers. But not against bad competition, but rather the best in the conference. This week in a huge rivalry game, on the road, against a ranked team, he lit up the scoreboard. Oklahoma scored 62 points. He finished the day just 2 yards under 600 (school record from a school with a ton of Heisman QB winners) with 5 TD passes. On only 24 completions, that's about 25 yards per pass completion. A quarter of the field. Before you jump on Oklahoma State's defense, against two likely bowl teams the two previous weeks, they snatched 5 INTs and held both QBs combined under 550 yards. Oklahoma is in good hands with Mayfield, and he is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
