Big 12 Report: Baker Mayfield ready for Texas Tech return

Fox should put a microphone in front of Texas Tech’s student section when Oklahoma visits Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday.

The taunts students have for Baker Mayfield, their former classmate, might be more entertaining than the game.

Mayfield, now a star quarterback for the Sooners, left the Red Raiders after one season as a walk-on, controversially transferring to Oklahoma when Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury failed to promise him playing time or a scholarship in future seasons.

This week marks his return to Lubbock as an active football player. Mayfield expects an interesting welcome.

“They’ll be ready for me when I get down there, that’s for sure,” Mayfield told reporters Saturday following a 38-17 win over Kansas State.
