The Oklahoma Air Raid offense produced a season-opening 439 passing yards, more than in any game in the 2014 season, and Jarvis Baxter was on the receiving end of five of the 42 passes thrown in the game by OU quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Trevor Knight.
On Oklahoma’s very first offensive play after receiving the opening kickoff, Mayfield took the snap from center Ty Darlington and fired a strike to Baxter that went for 15 yards and a first down and set the Sooner offense up at the Akron 44-yard line.
