MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield took a page from his young Kansas State counterpart, Alex Delton, running for chunks of yardage on Saturday and a pair of second-half touchdowns to turn momentum in the Wildcats' upset bid.
But when it mattered most, the Sooners’ senior Heisman Trophy candidate used his arm to seal victory.
Mayfield rushed for a season-high 69 yards and threw for 410 yards on 32-of-41 passing as the No. 9 Sooners came from 14 points down to beat K-State 42-35 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. OU won it on Rodney Anderson’s 22-yard run with seven seconds left, cashing in on Mayfield’s direction of a 76-yard drive after Kansas State tied it with 2:25 to play in a back-and-forth quarter.
