NORMAN — Baker Mayfield says there are three current quarterbacks in the elite run/pass club. Guys who can throw as well as any QB and run as effectively as any QB.
Deshaun Watson. Greg Ward. J.T. Barrett.
In a four-game span that ends Saturday night, Mayfield will have gone head-to-head with all three. And so far, it hasn't gone well.
Clemson's Watson outdueled Mayfield in the Orange Bowl. Houston's Ward outdueled Mayfield in the season opener two weeks ago. If Ohio State's Barrett outduels Mayfield on Owen Field, the Sooner season and Mayfield's status as a star quarterback will go splat.
