NORMAN, Okla. (AP) So far, so good for Oklahoma's new-look offense.

It was a bit rough early, but the 19th-ranked Sooners eventually rolled to a 41-3 win over Akron on Saturday night.

Two players making their debuts for Oklahoma were the biggest stars. Baker Mayfield passed for 388 yards and three touchdowns and ran for a score in three quarters, and Joe Mixon had 142 yards from scrimmage.

Mayfield set a school record for yards passing in a season opener, surpassing the previous mark of 363 yards by Sam Bradford in 2007.
