It' late and I can't sleep. So I decided to look into this Baker Mayfield kid, who as I'm sure we have all heard by now, is a former Texas Tech walk-on who started their opening game and got injured mid-way through the season.
So how good was he while as Texas Tech?
His game by game break-down is as follows:
SMU: 43/60, 413 yds passing, 4 pass TD, 76.2 QBR, 16 yds rushing on 12 carries with 1 rush TD
SF Austin: 21/30, 367 yds passing, 3 pass TD, 94.8 QBR, 66 yd rushing on 9 carries
TCU: 21/40, 216 yds passing, 1 pass TD, 3 INT, 9.9 QBR, 10 yds rushing on 12 carries
Texas St: 14/20, 124 yds passing, 1 INT, 5.7 QBR, 4 yds rushing on 6 carries
Kansas: 33/51, 368 yds passing, 1 INT, 79.9 QBR, 23 yds rushing on 6 carries with 1 rush TD
Injured for the following games: Iowa St, WVU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St
Kansas St: 34/44, 276 yds passing, 2 INT, 55.3 QBR, 29 yds rushing on 13 carries with 1 rush TD
Baylor: 28/51, 314 yds passing, 4 pass TD, 1 INT, 49.6 QBR, 39 yds rushing on 14 carries
Texas: 24/44, 237 yds passing, 1 INT, 17.4 QBR, 3 yds on 16 carries
Did not play in bowl game against Arizona State
2013 Final Stats:
218/340, 2315 yds passing, 12 pass TD, 9 INT, Sacked 24 times, 56.8 QBR
Last week against Akron he put up:
23/33, 388 yds passing, 3 pass TD, 61.5 QBR, 8 yds rushing on 6 carries with 1 rush TD
Interpret the stats as you want, but I for one am not convinced that he was the phenomenal walk on that the media has described him as. When the time came to play the big games he folded and turned the ball over a ton.
(Also it may be appropriate for someone to put this as a new thread, I dont have enough posts yet thanks)
