Bad Bedlam loss may define QB Landry Jones
The 2011 Bedlam game may well define the career of Landry Jones.
First, a disclaimer: Landry Jones is a fine young man and the Sooners have been fortunate to have him.
He will get a shot to play in the NFL and may well have a good career there. I would like to know him personally and would welcome him into my home or business. He’s a good guy.
But, Jones will always carry the label of unfulfilled promise as an Oklahoma quarterback.
It was Jones’ two fumbles that turned the Bedlam game and squelched the chance the Sooners had of standing in the way of Oklahoma State’s first Big 12 conference championship and first outright any-conference championship since grandpa bought his first Edsel (actually, since they won the three-team 1948 Missouri Valley Conference).
