Tramel: Let's slow the Heisman talk on Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield

NORMAN — Baker Mayfield is more fun than a ride-all-day pass at the State Fair. He scrambles like Roger Staubach. Old School. Runs around to pass, not to run.

Funnest OU quarterback since, who, Charles Thompson? Eric Mitchel? Jack Mitchell?

But someone has to chair the Wet Blanket Society. Might as well be me. As the Sooners prepare for a breakfast showdown against West Virginia on Saturday, can we call the foundry and put a hold on Mayfield's Heisman statue?

Mayfield played great against Tulsa and valiantly against Tennessee. But it's a little early to get too excited.
