Baker Mayfield's decision making and escapability.
It's inevitable that next week, he will be pressured early and often like he was tonight... and judging by tonight, he never tried to force anything in there - threw it away or where only the receiver could get it.
His pocket presence was something we haven't had since Bradford. This isn't a "Bash Landry" thread, but he never showed the awareness that Mayfield showed tonight.
Yeah yeah yeah... just Akron... but I don't care who you are playing - if you're running for your life half of the time and don't throw a single pick, you're doing a helluva job. I don't think he'll put up many more 400 yard, 4 TD games this year, but seriously... Tennessee's DL is gonna wreak havoc early much like Akron did tonight, and knowing we have a QB that won't panic... I. Am. Excite.
