Oklahoma QB Mayfield faces former team

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield left Texas Tech on bad terms two years ago.

That will be in the back of his mind Saturday when he faces his former team for the first time.

Mayfield walked on as a freshman and opened the 2013 season as Tech's starter, but lost the job later in the season. Despite being named Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year, he had no scholarship offer on the horizon, and so he transferred to Oklahoma.

Texas Tech wouldn't allow Mayfield immediate eligibility after his transfer, which bothered Mayfield since he was never on scholarship at Tech.
