Watch: Baker Mayfield Hitting TCU Player in Head During Warm Ups Resurfaces

Published

I don’t know how many people have seen this video, but I hadn’t so I figured it was at least worth throwing out there. There has been much made in recent weeks about Baker Mayfield hitting a TCU player during warm-ups before the OU-TCU game in Norman on November 11.

There was a video, but it got deleted — one Twitterer says OU asked the person who posted it to delete it. I have no idea if that’s true (it doesn’t sound like a thing that would be true), but regardless the video is back, and it is something.

“The bottom line is, they had a great recruiting weekend that week we had them, and we couldn’t get on the field, either side,” Gary Patterson said earlier this week. “We asked the guy that was in charge and he said, ‘I don’t know which way to send you.’

“Even as the head coach I had to go through their warmup lines to get down to our end of the field. And I wouldn’t have said anything if coach Riley hadn’t made the remark that our guy wouldn’t have gotten hit with the ball if he hadn’t run through the stretch lines.”

What remark was that?

Back to Patterson.

“TCU in 20 years has never run through anyone’s stretch lines. We don’t act that way. You’ve never seen us go out to the middle of the field and yell at each other and do all that. And we’ve had plenty of teams try to get us to do it. That’s not the way we act.

“I don’t really appreciate them trying to say that we were in the wrong, because that was okay to let a quarterback throw a ball and hit a guy in the head that hasn’t played for two weeks.”

So there you go. Let’s get lit at the Big 12 Championship on Saturday morning.
