NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield entered the season high on many Heisman Trophy watch lists.After week one, hed settle for just winning a game.Mayfield put up big numbers in the season opener against Houston, but the third-ranked Sooners lost 33-23 to the 15th-ranked Cougars last Saturday. Mayfield took much of the blame and vowed to improve before Oklahoma opens its home slate Saturday against Louisiana-Monroe.Ive just got to be better, he said. I know what to expect of myself, and knowing how the team reacts to my play, its even more important.Though Mayfield passed for 323 yards and two touchdowns, he was sacked five times and he missed open receivers at times and forced throws in other cases.Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Mayfield got greedy.I think probably pressing trying to make the big play instead of the simple play and the obvious play, Stoops said of some of the miscues.Mayfield went 9 for 9 for 162 yards and a touchdown in the first half and wasnt sacked. In the second half, he connected on 15 of 24 passes for 161 yards and a score, but he was sacked five times and he lost a fumble.I didnt get the ball out as quick as I wanted, Mayfield said of his second-half effort. They brought a couple different blitzes. Missed some holes where they left people open. Just decision making, knowing when theyre going to blitz and what kind of gaps theyre going to leave in their defense -- youve got to take advantage of it.Its a challenge for Mayfield to rein in his tendency to go for the big play. With his strong arm and ability to improvise, he believes he can make something big out of nothing every time.Thats not how the offense operates, Stoops said. We had guys in certain spots that would have been easier throws and would have helped us.It was Mayfields first time in a pressure situation at Oklahoma without Sterling Shepard, his star receiver and security blanket last season. Mayfield at times looked hesitant to throw, and in one instance, he was sacked on a fourth-and-16 in the fourth quarter.A guy like Sterling always stepped up in big moments, so yeah, it hurts to lose him, but we have guys that should be able to step up, Mayfield said. Ive just got to get the ball out of my hands. At certain points, there were people open. Ive just got to get the ball out of my hands instead of scrambling around a little too much or just not taking a chance on them -- trusting what theyre doing and getting it in their hands.On the next drive, Mayfield trusted Mark Andrews, and the tight end made a spectacular grab in the end zone for a 25-yard touchdown. Andrews catch ended an eight-play, 80-yard drive.It was kind of more of getting back to what we did in the first half -- tempo and doing what we do best, getting the ball out of my hand, not taking any sacks, not doing anything dumb, Mayfield said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Tim Williams scored a career-high 31 points and had 11 rebounds in New Mexicos 95-79 defeat of Houston Baptist on Monday night.Williams hit all but one of his 11 shots from the field and went 11-for-12 from the line while collecting his second double-double of the season for New Mexico (2-0). New Mexico outrebounded the Huskies 38-24.I thought Tim Williams was terrific, New Mexico coach Craig Neal said.Houston Baptist coach Ron Cottrell agreed.We thought that was going to be a matchup issue for us at the four, Cottrell said. We went to zone pretty quick, realizing that was going to be matchup issue throughout. We tried to cover that up going zone. Early on he had 10 quick points. In our man-to-man, we werent able to control him. Hes a load. Hes a heck of a player. Big, physical, really aggressive. I wouldnt want to go against him anymore.Jalen Harris added 13 points for the Lobos.New Mexico never trailed and it was briefly tied at 2. The Lobos gained control with a 14-2 run midway through the first half, building a double-digit lead that it retained for the rest of the game.Colter Lasher led Houston Baptist with 19 points. Four other Houston Baptist players also reached double figures.ddddddddddddEY STAT: The Lobos shot 72 percent (18 for 25) in the first half and 50 percent (10 for 20) in the second half.I thought our guys came out and played very tentative there at the beginning of the game, Cottrell said. I dont think we played up to our capability and we really let them take it straight at us. We had a nice discussion at the half about coming out and playing more aggressive and not just rolling over.KEY STAT II: The Lobos outscored the Houston Baptist 35-12 from the foul line and three Huskies players fouled out: Josh Ibarra, Braxton Bonds and Cody Stetler.We have to play inside out, if we do that well get people in foul trouble, well be able to get to the line, Neal said. When we start getting jump-shot happy, we wont be able to get to the line.UP NEXT: New Mexico is at home Friday against rival New Mexico State in the first of its two meetings. The Lobos have dominated the series of late, winning five of six games since Neal took the New Mexico helm.
