Jones Wins Weekly Big 12 Honors

Junior quarterback Landry Jones has been named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, according to an official release.

“Landry Jones completed 35-of-47 (.745) passes for a school-record 505 yards and five touchdowns (two interceptions) in No. 9 Oklahoma's 58-17 win at previously unbeaten No. 8 Kansas State. The junior's yardage figure also was the most for any player at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. His TD throws covered 11, 18, 29, 8 and 12 yards. OU finished with 690 yards of total offense, its highest total since the 1978 Oklahoma State game (692), and averaged 9.2 yards per play against the Big 12's top defensive unit entering the game. With his 90 touchdown passes, Jones set the Oklahoma career record previously held by Sam Bradford with 88.”
