Highway 9: The road to Sooner memories
Editor’s Note: The history books claim Route 66, but for many of us Baby Boomer Okies the real “Mother Road” is Oklahoma Highway 9 — the path to the promised land of national championships, Heisman trophy winners and our memories…
Sooners have more rushing weapons this year

Maybe not remembered so much is how QB Landry Jones stepped up to pass for 505 yards and five TDs, as the Sooners handly beat Kansas State 58-17 in Manhattan. Ryan Broyles caught 14 passes for 171 yards and a TD.
Whaley is back. And, JUCO transfer Damien Williams has shined as the Big 12 newcomer of the year, so far.
That bodes well for No. 5 Oklahoma, as it means less pressure will be on Jones and the newcomer corps of wide receivers to match last year’s effort to beat the No. 15 Wildcats on Saturday night in Norman.
