Soonerguy celebrates Bedlam win!
With music appropriate for a game against the ‘Pokes.
It was the best Bedlam game ….ever
It is called Bedlam. And it was all that.
In the first overtime game between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and another 500-yard passing performance by QB Landry Jones, the Sooners lead only once in this game — when it mattered, at the end, coming from behind to win 51-48.
Most fans stayed around afterward to celebrate with the players on Owen Field.
Oklahoma State led most of the game, getting off to a 14-0 lead before the Sooners scored in the first quarter.
The Senior Jones’ passing kept the Sooners hanging on, matching the Cowboys score for score.
But in the overtime, it was an improbable 18-yard run by Brennan Clay that lifted 14th ranked Oklahoma over the 22nd ranked Oklahoma State team.
Fans’ memory of Jones will be set by Bedlam
Landry Jones will play his last game at Owen Field on Saturday.
He will end the day as Oklahoma’s most prolific passer.
Ever.
Despite that, it’s no secret that Jones may be the most under-appreciated. At least by fans.
Those fans who think more of his mistakes at most inopportune times (namely this year against Kansas State), than his peak performances.
Entering his final home game Saturday night against No. 22 Oklahoma State (7-3, 5-2 Big 12), Jones chooses to focus on the highs he’s experienced with the 14th-ranked Sooners (8-2, 6-1) and not the occasional fierce criticism he’s endured.
Jones will being trying to get his third Bedlam win. If he doesn’t, he’ll be five of six in rivalry victories (three against Texas).
