Baker Mayfield trades Twitter shots with Oklahoma State players
Fua Leilua was just trying to have some fun when the JUCO prospect, who's headed to Oklahoma State in 2017, tweeted his excitement for the upcoming season.
We're taking the Big 12 Championship next year mark my words🏆#PistolsFiring 🍊💥⚫️

That post, however, caught the eye of Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, who offered up a response to Leilua.

The exchange didn't end there.
Cowboys wide receiver Tyron Johnson, who also hasn't actually played for Oklahoma State yet after transferring from LSU and sitting out the 2016 season, replied to Mayfield's tweet with one of his own.

And to that, Mayfield threw what might have been the knockout punch.

For what it's worth, Oklahoma has emerged victorious in 12 of the last 14 meetings against Oklahoma State. The two teams will next square off Nov. 4.
