NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield will return for his senior season.
Mayfield made the announcement after he passed for 288 yards and three touchdowns to lead the seventh-ranked Sooners to a 38-20 win over No. 11 Oklahoma State on Saturday. The win clinched the Big 12 title for the Sooners for the second straight year.
Mayfield finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting last year, and he is a top candidate this year, too.
