Jones quiets critics with big win over Seminoles
Reports last week of Landry Jones’ demise were obviously greatly exaggerated.
All the talk going into No. 10 Oklahoma’s game against No. 17 Florida State was about the Seminoles’ Heisman candidate QB Christian Ponder and Jones’ shaky first game against Utah State.
But by halftime at Owen Field the Sooners had put this one away and by game’s end it was Jones who had easily won this QB duel and quieted any critics who had questioned his future as the Sooner QB.
The Sooners routed the Seminoles 44-17, with Jones completing 30 of 40 passes for 380 yards and 4 touchdowns and a swarming Oklahoma defenses shutting down a touted FSU passing attack. Ponder found himself sitting on the ground more times than the Seminoles moved the chains.
