Drunk OSU Fans Trash-Talking Baker Mayfield Motivated Huge Performance

Baker Mayfield lit up Ohio State’s defense on Saturday, tossing for 386 passing yards and three touchdowns (all in the second half). According to ESPN’s ‘Freddie and Fitz’, the big second half performance from the Sooners Heisman hopeful was motivated by some drunk, trashing-talking Ohio State fans (transcribed via Yahoo):

“There were a group of Buckeye fans that were beyond over-served,” Fitzsimmons said, adding, “these guys are just wearing [Mayfield] out.”

He continued: “[Mayfield] turns around and goes ‘Get ready, I’m about to hang six on you bleeping bleepers.’ He goes, leads them right down the field. Score’s tied at 10 and he goes right to the bench, stands up on the bench, and just lets the Buckeyes fans behind him that were giving to Baker, he turns at them and says, ‘You like that one? I got three or four more that’s coming up. Get ready.'”
