Mayfield has been battling a cold that caused him to miss the No. 2 Sooners’ media availability this week, but he seemed fine during his pregame routine. But once the star signal-caller took the pass-catching show to Georgia’s end zone, the Bulldogs’ wide receivers had an issue with Mayfield being in their panited area. The first game of the 2018 College... NESN.com
