NORMAN, Okla. — In their first trip to West Virginia, four years ago, the Oklahoma Sooners faced one unstoppable set of offensive triplets.
This weekend, they trek back to Morgantown for a prime-time showdown that will hold conference title — and perhaps playoff — implications. And this time around, it's the Sooners who are armed with college football's most electrifying offensive trio.
Not since the Mountaineer combo of Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey has the Big 12 witnessed a threesome the caliber of Sooner quarterback Baker Mayfield, running back Joe Mixon and wideout Dede Westbrook, who together have fueled Oklahoma’s unexpected push back into the playoff picture.
