No. 4 — 2015, at Oklahoma State, OU 62, Oklahoma State 52

This is really where the list gets to the defining moment of Mayfield’s career at OU.  This is the game where Baker Mayfield really cemented the Heisman Trophy.  He threw for an OU record 598 yards and recorded six total touchdowns in the game.  The game featured the country’s No. 1 offense vs the No. 2 offense and it looked like it. The in-state rivals swapped score for score for most of the game.  The half time score was 38-38.  The Sooner defense, maligned all day, managed to record three critical turnovers in the second half and the offense just kept scoring.

The game was an offensive explosion, and with the Mayfield to “Hollywood” Brown connection the Sooners were able to get the win. Mayfield’s Heisman statue is of the pose when he stiff-armed an Oklahoma State defender in route to scoring a touchdown in this game.
