FWST: TCU’s Patterson says Mayfield issue is in the past as OU game looms

TCU coach Gary Patterson says he has moved on from last year’s public feud with Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayield, triggered by the player’s remark that TCU coaches “hung me out to dry” on a scholarship offer that never surfaced and resulted in him starting his career as a walk-on at Texas Tech.

Mayfield, now a junior and a second-year starter for Oklahoma (1-2, 0-0 in Big 12), will be in the Sooners’ lineup for Saturday’s game against No. 21 TCU (2-1, 1-0) in Amon G. Carter Stadium (4 p.m., KDFW/Ch. 4).

“I can’t speak for Baker. I’m past it,” Patterson said during Monday’s conference call with Big 12 coaches when asked about last December’s exchange of words. “He’s in a great place. He’s up for the Heisman Trophy. I’m just trying to win games at TCU. I wish him the best of luck.”
