His 19/20, 329-yard, 3-TD line helped the Sooners to a 35-7 lead over UTEP after two quarters. Mayfield completed those 19 passes to 10 different players, only completing multiple passes to Mark Andrews (7 for 134 and a TD), CeeDee Lamb (3 for 21 yards and a score) and Jeff Badet (2 for 70).
Mayfield is an early Heisman Trophy contender, and he's showing it against UTEP. Here's a few of the big plays from the first half:
(UPDATE: Mayfield didn't play in the second half, so those stats will stand as his final line)
