Some may laugh at Oklahoma mentor Lincoln Riley's discipline for Baker Mayfield *only* being not beginning and not being a skipper on Saturday, but rather it was clear Monday night those things mean a great deal to Mayfield.
The Sooners' senior quarterback, two days after his sideline show at Kansas, tended to columnists about it all and was extremely passionate. Plainly not being a commander for his last home amusement at Oklahoma, which likewise happens to be senior day at Memorial Stadium, is truly intense for him.
Be that as it may, he comprehends why Riley settled on the choice and said he put his mentor in an "appalling spot."
"Playing at OU is something I generally longed for," Mayfield said. "Not beginning… it is the thing that it is, but rather not being a group commander is a great deal more. It's hard in light of the fact that it's my last one here ever. It implies significantly more. It will be intense. (Senior Day) even without the majority of this would have been passionate one. It will be hard."
Prior to the Kansas amusement, the Jayhawks' protective commanders reprimanded Mayfield for a handshake after the coin hurl, a move that obviously let go Mayfield up. From that point, he and the Sooners had no issue with the one-win Jayhawks, and after a second from last quarter touchdown, Mayfield influenced a scurrilous motion toward the Kansas to sideline while hollering obscenities. The entire thing was caught by the ESPN communicated and set off to some degree a firestorm in the days since.
On Monday night, Mayfield recognized he let many individuals down, including the individuals who admire him as a good example.
"It doesn't make a difference in case you're the beginning quarterback. In the event that you don't act the correct way, Coach Riley will teach you. Furthermore, that is the way it should be," Mayfield said.
Mayfield apologized after the diversion however Riley proceeded Monday and declared that Mayfield would not begin or be a chief for the Sooners against West Virginia in the customary season finale. Sophomore Kyler Murray will get the begin at quarterback.
It's a diversion the fourth-positioned Sooners need to win to remain in the College Football Playoff picture. After the WVU diversion, OU can win its third straight meeting title when it plays in the Big 12 title amusement, likely against TCU.
