Soap opera between Baker Mayfield and Gary Patterson prepares for finale

The tension between Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield and TCU coach Gary Patterson seemed to be a real thing. At least since the Sooners’ Heisman trophy candidate lashed out at Patterson in December 2015.

At the time, Mayfield said “[TCU] told me they were going to offer me a scholarship and kind of drug it out, and I told other schools I wasn’t interested because I thought I was going to go there, and I truly believed they were going to offer me because they told me that,” Mayfield said of his 2013 recruitment out of Lake Travis High School.
