Baker Mayfield’s competitive and controversial nature was on full display in the first half of Oklahoma’s playoff game against Georgia at the Rose Bowl on Monday.
After the Bulldogs missed a field goal when down 14-7 in the first quarter, ESPN’s cameras captured Mayfield doing a throat gesture. Take a look:

Was Mayfield doing a throat gesture to suggest Georgia’s kicker had choked? Or was he being more aggressive and saying Oklahoma was going to cut their throats/kill them in the game?
Who knows, but it’s clear the Sooners senior was all about messing with the Bulldogs throughout the day.
