CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, who played for Oklahoma, believes celebratory flag planting is part of the college football landscape and that teams should accept losing instead of participating in extracurricular scrums postgame.
College football's Rivalry Weekend saw four flag-planting incidents that resulted in fights: Michigan at Ohio State, NC State at North Carolina, Florida at Florida State and a pitchfork in Arizona State at Arizona.
Mayfield, the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner, is credited with starting a trend that season, when he infamously ran out onto the field and planted the Sooners' flag in the midfield "O" after a 31-16 victory over Ohio State.
