Landry is the old man on the field now
by admin
We’re one-third through the season and, finally, age is on Oklahoma’s side.
From here on, Landry Jones is the dean of quarterbacks on OU’s schedule.
At 23, he’ll be the oldest starting quarterback on the field for the rest of the regular season. He’s older than Texas’ David Ash (20). Older than West Virginia’s Geno Smith (22).
Until this past Saturday, Jones had been the second-oldest. Texas Tech QB Seth Doege, who was ravaged by the Sooners in a 41-21 loss, is also 23.
But he’s six months older than Jones.

The Sooners did not take long to put aside the celebration of Saturday’s 41-20 must-win over the Red Raiders.
On the way back to Oklahoma, the team was watching the Texas-West Virginia game on the plane’s satellite television.
After all, the “Beat the Hell Out of Texas Week” started when the last seconds of a unanswered 17 point third quarter ended at Jones Stadium in Lubbock.
With the score then 41-13, the Texas Tech game was over.
A little extra “scouting” never hurts the week before Oklahoma vs. Texas.
But before we all get immersed in upside down hook ’em horns it is important to recognize Landry Jones got a big monkey off his back by leading the Sooners to an impressive win in a place where the Sooners haven’t found success since Jason White quarterbacked them in 2003.
