NORMAN, Okla. -- Its just mid-September, and most of Oklahomas lofty preseason goals already are out of reach.The Sooners hoped to return to the College Football Playoff this season, but Saturday nights 45-24 loss to Ohio State dropped them to 1-2 on the season and to No. 25 in the AP Top 25 poll released Sunday .Mayfield finished fourth in the Heisman voting last year, but his chances of finishing better are all but gone after Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett outplayed him. Mayfield threw two interceptions against the Buckeyes and had a third overturned upon review. He was sacked three times and pressured all night.Oklahoma has a bye week before opening conference play at TCU on Oct. 1.Right now, its all about winning the Big 12, Mayfield said. Then well see where it goes. But its one week at a time. You have to grind out the Big 12. Just like last year, we had to play one week at a time to get where we want to go. Thats the same mindset we have to have.The Buckeyes overpowered the Sooners to pound out 291 yards on 48 carries. Oklahomas coaching staff was disappointed and said changes will be considered.We have to be able to maybe get some other kids some opportunities too, Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. They have to earn the right, just like everybody. I think our guys, theres not one individual that sticks out to me. We just have to continually develop more depth, size and strength at critical positions.Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops said the leadership has fallen off since players such as center Ty Darlington, receiver Sterling Shepard and linebacker Eric Striker left after last season.Its fair to say the leadership isnt close to what it was a year ago, and thats on me, Bob Stoops said. Im in the front of the program. Ive got to do a better job, and Ive got to a better job developing players to do that.Mayfield, a team captain, said he needs to be a part of the solution.When you lose a lot of guys that have played a lot of football here, you just flat-out lose leadership, Mayfield said. You can name all the starters that weve had for multiple years ... you are going to lose leadership. Right now, its time to man up. A lot of people need to pick up leadership -- me included. You just have to push forward.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP . Daniel Briere Jersey . It might not have mattered.
