Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield was asked about Texas Longhorns QB Sam Ehlinger during this week’s press conference. Baker admitted that he doesn’t know much about Ehlinger, who has just three career starts under his belt, but the Lake Travis product did offer up one fact he does know about Ehlinger.

Another classic example of Baker being Baker. These one-liners are one of the reasons OU fans love him and opposing fan bases tend to hate him. This joke was in good fun, and most everyone had a good laugh about it and moved on with their day.
Credit Baker Mayfield. He has every Texas writer looking up the history of the Lake Travis-Austin Westlake series.
