Baker Mayfield’s career is over. It feels good to type those words. No more haunting 550-yard performances. No more fu manchus. No more whippings at the hands of No. 6. It’s done. It is finished.
And it ended quite dramatically. Georgia squeaked by OU in the Rose Bowl on Monday 54-48 in one of the all-time best college football games, and Mayfield put on a show. For the first half, anyway. The final two quarters went poorly, though, and six looked like he’d just sat down for dinner with his in-laws after taking too many laxatives.
It was … well it was kind of great.
