Baker Mayfield Apologizes for Planting Oklahoma Flag After Win vs. Ohio State
Oklahoma Sooners starting quarterback Baker Mayfield apologized Monday for planting an Oklahoma flag on Ohio State's field after the Sooners defeated the Buckeyes 31-16 on Saturday evening.
"After the game, I did not mean for it to be disrespectful toward any Ohio State people at all, especially not the team or the players, because they're a great team and a great program," Mayfield said during a press conference. "I didn't mean it to be disrespectful at all. We do the flag thing at OU-Texas, so that's just something I got caught up in an emotional win. It should have been something I did in the locker room, so I apologize for doing it in the middle of the field."
