I’ll be the first to admit it, at the beginning of the season when Oklahoma dropped to 1-2 after a three-touchdown loss to Ohio State at home, I declared the Sooners’ title hopes and Baker Mayfield’s Heisman hopes both officially dead. Neither looked like the version that made it to the playoff in 2015, but I have since been proven wrong.

Oklahoma has won five straight games and Mayfield looks like Heisman candidate that we saw last season when he passed for 3,700 yards and 36 touchdowns with just seven interceptions and a 68 percent completion rate.

After those first three games, he already had three interceptions, but he has only three since. The Sooners are now 6-2 on the season and undefeated in Big 12 play.

Mayfield is probably playing the best football of his career over the past three games, posting a 3-0 record and passing for 1,127 yards, 15 touchdowns and one interception. Oh yeah, and he’s completing 75 percent of his passes.

The junior quarterback just never ceases to amaze and it’s tough to even believe that he’s a former walk-on at Texas Tech.
