Baker Mayfield on Sooners' 2014 collapse: 'I blame Katy Perry'

The 2014 Oklahoma Sooners got off to a fast 4-0 start, similar to this year’s team, but quickly imploded in the second week of conference play when OU traveled to face TCU.

The Horned Frogs thoroughly outplayed Oklahoma, holding then-quarterback Trevor Knight to 40 percent completion percentage. And, of course, this was the game that pop star Katy Perry famously hit on Knight on the set of College GameDay.

Monday, nearly three years removed from the loss, Baker Mayfield still faults Katy Perry for that team’s implosion.

“I blame Katy Perry,” said Mayfield, who spent that season on the scout team while sitting out a year after transferring from Texas Tech.
