Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield has his share of pleasant memories of his time in Lubbock, Texas. He also has some bad ones.Mayfield was named the Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year in 2013 when he played in eight games as a freshman walk-on for the Red Raiders, passing for 2,315 yards and 12 touchdowns while completing 64.1 percent of his passes.But Mayfield decided to transfer when he said the Texas Tech coaching staff did not guarantee him playing time in the Holiday Bowl or a scholarship for the following season. He eventually walked on at Oklahoma, lobbing some verbal jabs at Texas Tech and Red Raiders coach Kliff Kingsbury along the way.Now Mayfield returns to Jones AT&T Stadium leading the 16th-ranked Sooners (4-2, 3-0 Big 12) against his former team and head coach.Theyll be ready for me when I get down there, thats for sure, Mayfield said. Im excited for it. Its always fun to play in Lubbock. This time, Im on the other side of it.This isnt the first time Mayfield, who finished fourth in Heisman Trophy balloting a year ago, has been back to Lubbock with the Sooners since his ugly split. He also accompanied the squad there in 2014 while sitting out because of NCAA transfer rules and didnt exactly receive the warmest of welcomes.The night before the game, Mayfield was asked to leave a Lubbock restaurant and booed on his way out the door. Texas Tech fans barraged Mayfield with verbal barbs as he came out for warm-ups and as he watched from the sideline during the game. After the game, an Oklahoma Highway Patrolman escorted Mayfield to his vehicle for safety.Over the past year, tensions have cooled.Mayfield hasnt said anything negative about Texas Tech publicly recently and Kingsbury even praised Mayfield during Big 12 Media Days in July.Texas Tech was also among the schools that voted to approve a rule that granted Mayfield an additional year of eligibility over the summer.Ive gotten over everything, Mayfield said. Its all in the past, which is what I said last year. Its about settling in and being ready to play.The move appears to have paid off all around as Mayfield has flourished with the Sooners and Patrick Mahomes II has become one of the most prolific quarterbacks in the country at Texas Tech (3-3, 1-2). Mahomes enters Saturdays contest as he nations leader in passing yards (2,579, 429.8 ypg) and total offense (455.2 ypg). He also ranks second in points responsible for (168) and leads the Big 12 in touchdown passes (21).But just because things are better doesnt mean Mayfield doesnt expect harsh treatment.Well see how our guys handle the violent environment were gonna be in, Mayfield said.The contest is a key one for Texas Tech, which plays just two of its final six games at home and needs three wins to become bowl eligible. The Red Raiders, who still have road games with TCU, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Baylor, come in off a 48-17 home loss to No. 12 West Virginia.There is a lot to fix, Kingsbury said. There is no doubt. (We need to) reassess what were doing, how were doing it as far as practice goes., personnel-wise, who were playing ... I think we took a look at everything on Sunday, and are trying to figure out what we need to tighten up and who needs to be playing and what changes we need to make in this last part of the season to be the most effective.Last week was by far the least effective the Red Raiders have been at home. The Mountaineers held Tech to 17 points, the first time all year the team had been held under 50 in Lubbock. Mahomes threw for 305 yards, but didnt look as effective as he did early in the season. He is battling an injured shoulder, and the injury and the lightened load in practice may be taking its toll.I think his lack of practicing caught up to him, Kingsbury said. I think that first week he was still kind of in that streak, in that zone. And this last week not practicing as much as we would have liked probably caught up to him. Then he tried to do a little bit too much, I felt like, in the second half.Oklahoma, which will be trying for its first 4-0 start in Big 12 play since 2004, will be without starting running back Samaje Perine who is expected to be sidelined two to three weeks with a hamstring injury. Cody Kessler Jersey . Didier Drogba gave away the penalty that put Senegal one goal away from a major upset, but the veteran striker will get another chance -- probably his last -- at the World Cup after Salomon Kalous injury-time strike sealed the Ivorians place in Brazil next year. Emmanuel Ogbah Jersey . Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and the Cardinals edged the Tennessee Titans 37-34 in overtime after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. http://www.cheapbrownsjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-jc-tretter-jersey . It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. Danny Shelton Jersey .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Kevin Zeitler Jersey . With their top three point guards and Kobe Bryant all sidelined by injury, the Lakers signed Marshall out of the D-League on Friday before their home game against Minnesota. CHICAGO -- The winning rally lacked a signature hit, and that was just fine with the Chicago Cubs. To them, Wednesdays comeback was a testament to the teams collective resolve.Matt Szczur scored on A.J. Ramos wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning, capping a three-run rally that gave the Cubs a 5-4 victory and a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins.Chicago tied it when Ramos (1-1) walked Ben Zobrist with the bases loaded and two outs.I think weve got a good group, Cubs starter John Lackey said. A group that keeps fighting.Chicago manager Joe Maddon also credited those among the Wrigley Field crowd of 41,147 who stayed until the end.They had so much energy, Maddon said. It was a long day and it was hot out there and we have to get on the road. All those different mental factors, and our fans picked us up.It was Ramos second blown save in 33 chances this season.Miguel Montero started the rally with a leadoff double and went to third on a single by Javier Baez. Szczur was pinch-hitting when he drew a walk from Ramos that loaded the bases. Dexter Fowler made it 3-2 with a sacrifice fly, and all the runners advanced.Kris Bryant struck out looking on a 3-2 pitch for the second out, and Anthony Rizzo was intentionally walked to load the bases again. The strategy backfired when Ramos, who threw just 13 strikes in 35 pitches, walked Zobrist and then unloaded a game-ending wild pitch with Willson Contreras at the plate.My job was to get Zobrist out there and I just didnt execute, Ramos said. I was trying to go for the strikeout or get some weak contact. But I couldnt get it in the zone where I wanted to.It was just one of those days, I guess.Zobrists teammates credited him for resisting the temptation to go out of the zone for a walk-off hit.With Zobrist, hes not going to swing (just) to swing, Montero said. (Ramos) was nibbling.Chicago cut it to 4-2 in the eighth when Fowler scored on Fernando Rodneys wild pitch.Jeff Mathis hit a two-runn homer for Miami.dddddddddddd Christian Yelich also connected and drove in two runs. Tom Koehler tossed six strong innings to help the Marlins take a 4-1 lead heading to the bottom of the eighth.Mathis drive snapped a 1-all tie in the seventh and was just the second of the season for the backup catcher.Justin Grimm (1-0) pitched the ninth inning for the win. Chicago has won seven of eight after slumping early last month.Koehler gave up five hits and one run while striking out seven.Lackey allowed seven hits and three runs in seven innings while striking out eight.GREAT EXPECTATIONSWith the Cubs surging again, Lackey was asked what fair expectations are for this season. Fair expectations? Were trying to win the World Series, he said. I didnt come here for a haircut. I came here for jewelry.FRIENDLY CONFINESYelich, who was 3 for 4, has hit safely in all 12 career games he has played at Wrigley Field. He is 21 for 51 in those games for a .412 batting average.ICHIRO UPDATEIchiro Suzuki lined out softly to shortstop as a pinch-hitter in the seventh against Lackey. Suzuki remained at 2,998 career hits, two shy of becoming the 30th player to reach 3,000.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: 1B Justin Bour, out since July 3 with a right ankle sprain, is expected to return Friday at Colorado.Cubs: RHP Jason Hammel was placed on the bereavement list and Grimm was recalled from Triple-A Iowa. Hammel is expected to make his next scheduled start on Tuesday.UP NEXTMarlins: Following a day off, RHP David Phelps (5-5, 2.65 ERA) makes his first start of the season Friday in the opener of a three-game series at Colorado.
