Sooners Rout Texas A&M, 65-10
Oklahoma extends nation's longest home win streak to 29 games
Five interceptions one week. Five touchdowns the next. Such is life as a freshman quarterback for Oklahoma's Landry Jones.
A week after Oklahoma failed to reach the end zone for the first time in Bob Stoops' 11 seasons as coach, the scores came in bunches for the Sooners - and particularly for Jones, who passed for a career-high 392 yards and five touchdowns as Oklahoma became bowl-eligible with a 65-10 rout of Texas A&M on Saturday night.
"You have to be sure of yourself," Stoops said. "I think the more he played, the more comfortable he got and he started making the throws we know he can make."
"He definitely knows he doesn't have to carry the whole offense," Broyles said of Jones. "We have guys that can make plays and that definitely gives him confidence."
The Sooners' oft-criticized offensive line, which lost two more starters to injury a week earlier in a 10-3 loss to Nebraska, again had its share of miscues, but it didn't allow a sack against an Aggie defense that entered the game third in the FBS in that category.
"We just came out and executed and played the way that we're capable of playing," Jones said. "Playing smarter in the red zone, not having the dumb penalties down there that keep us out of the end zone.
"It's just a confidence booster to have a game like this and have our offense with everyone on the same page."
