Mayfield, a two-time Heisman finalist, is on a roll in the early season. Here is evidence to support Mayfield’s case:
Five good numbers
— Mayfield completed 27 of 35 passes against the Buckeyes and owns an 83.6 completion percentage through two weeks. — Mayfield averages 357.5 passing yards per game. — Mayfield has the highest passer rating (228.8) of any Power 5 quarterback. — Mayfield has three touchdown passes in each of Oklahoma’s first two games — and looks like he can match his 40-touchdown total from last season. — Mayfield became just the fifth quarterback to win a night game at Ohio State, joining a list that includes Texas’ Vince Young, Penn State’s Daryll Clark, USC’s Matt Barkley and Virginia Tech’s Michael Brewer.
