Baker Mayfield on 'Rent Free'

Following Texas' 34-3 victory over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, Longhorns players Barryn Sorrell and Anthony Hill Jr. made a statement by planting a Texas flag through a Baker Mayfield jersey at midfield. Mayfield, now the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, responded to the act after leading his team to a win over the New Orleans Saints, saying he feels he has been 'rent-free' in the minds of Texas players since his college days. Reflecting on his time at Oklahoma, he noted his success against Texas, winning his last two encounters in 2016 and 2017. While the incident sparked reactions among fans and commentators, the Longhorns are now focusing on their upcoming game against Georgia. Mayfield's comments and the planting of his jersey highlight the ongoing intensity of the rivalry, even years after his collegiate career ended. The event has reignited discussions about the competitive spirit and legacy of both teams in college football.
