Big smile for Baker Mayfield.
As we know from Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield, and in the past with former Bucs stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, Sooners and Longhorns don’t mix.
It doesn’t take much for Mayfield, who incredibly had a home in Austin of all places (talk about living in the belly of the beast), to flash his ‘Horns-down sign, being the good Sooner he is.
Joe actually things Mayfield throwing down the ‘Horns-down sign actually seems to make his day whenever he can do that.
So for a former Longhorn linebacker to give a Sooner quarterback mad props, that’s saying a lot.
And that’s just what Emmanuel Acho did. Acho, formerly of FS1, now co-hosts a YouTube postgame show he produces after every game on Sunday, along with former Bucs running back Shady McCoy called “Speakeasy“. In the video below, Acho did an X’s and O’s breakdown of Mayfield’s two touchdown throws to Emeka Egbuka.
Acho thinks those two throws may have been the best of his career.
“And I’ve been watching him since Oklahoma,” Acho said.
Acho just raved about how high-level those two touchdown throws were. They shouldn’t have been that good, Acho believed.
“I’m not going to say Baker’s elite,” Acho said. “I’m not going to say it. But if he looks elite, and he got elite numbers, and he be throwing elite, and he be playing elite … I’m not going to say it, I’m not going to say it, I’m not going to say it, I’m not going to say it.
“But you can say it: He elite.”
Joe sure hopes Mayfield keeps this up. Because soon, the offensive line will be better. And also soon, Chris Godwin will return.
Then the Bucs will be cooking with gas.
