Baker Mayfield Responds to Longhorns' Flag Planting on His Jersey

The former Oklahoma quarterback claims he still occupies Texas' thoughts after their symbolic gesture following a victory over the Sooners.

  • Texas Longhorns players planted their flag through Baker Mayfield's Oklahoma jersey after a decisive 34-3 win over the Sooners.
  • Mayfield, currently with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, responded by saying he lives 'rent-free' in Texas' heads, referencing his past victories over them.
  • Anthony Hill Jr. and Barryn Sorrell led the flag-planting act, with Hill posting a photo of the jersey on social media, captioning it 'Texas fears nobody.'
  • Mayfield has a long-standing rivalry with Texas, having won his last two Red River games and often expressing his disdain for the Longhorns.
  • The gesture was a nod to Mayfield's own flag-planting incident in 2017 after Oklahoma's win over Ohio State, highlighting the ongoing rivalry.
