Landry Jones redeemed himself last night.
About the time his legacy had been etched as the QB who failed in clutch moments, Jones stepped up and lead the Sooners to a comeback 50-49 shoot out win against a West Virginia team led by a super human wide receiver turned running back.
Mountaineer Tavon Austin, who doubled at tailgate – a brilliant move by Dana Holgersen to capitalize on OU’s defensive strategy (more on that below) – rushed for 344 yards and totaled 572 all-purpose yards (just six short of the NCAA record).
He kept the Mountaineers in the game. Even gave them the lead near the end and all the momentum.
But, on two drives in the final three minutes of the game, Jones passed 10 times. He completed nine of them for 134 yards and two touchdowns – the last one a fourth down to Kenny Stills (10 catches for 91 yards) for the game-winning touchdown with just 24 seconds left in the game.
