As Baker Mayfield made his way around the field at the Rose Bowl in the wake of OU's 54-48 loss, hugging his teammates and congratulating a couple Georgia players, one Bulldog had a message for him.
“Humble yourself,” linebacker David Bellamy shouted at the quarterback. “Humble yourself.”
The exchange was caught on video, and later, Bellamy was asked about it.
"All I'm saying is humble yourself,” Bellamy told ESPN's Arash Markazi. “All the flamboyancy ... I carry myself the same way, but humble yourself, man. ... Our wide receivers came back and told us that they were running their routes before we went out there and he was on their line. Just humble yourself, man, just humble yourself. You're not built like that."
During warm ups, Mayfield caught passes in each end zone, something he's done before every game this season. Bellamy took issue with that because some of Georgia's players were already on the field for warm ups.
And, in the first half, Mayfield appeared to make a throat slash gesture and yell “it's over” after OU went up 14-7 in the first quarter.
