The Landry Jones era officially began with Saturday’s victory over the Kansas State Wildcats. If he can continue to repeat performances like this, the Jones era looks promising.

In front of a crowd of 84,021, Jones went 26 for 37, racking up 294 yards passing and four touchdowns as the Sooners pulled out the victory over the Wildcats 42-30.

“Really excited about what Landry Jones did again today,” said head coach Bob Stoops after the victory. “He and many of the receivers executed very well late in the game.”

Jones and the rest of the Sooners’ offense had to answer multiple times in the second half after the Wildcats were able to cut the Sooners’ lead down to as close as five points at one point.

Jones looked poised when it counted and was able to connect with five different receivers on the night. It is also hard to deny the chemistry between Jones and wide out Ryan Broyles; they connected for eight catches and 91 yards with two touchdowns.

“The kid [Broyles] is just a playmaker,” said Jones, “I just have to put the ball in his hands, and he is going to make something happen.”

Jones also looks like he has found a reliable number two receiver in Dejuan Miller, who had nine catches for 94 yards and a touchdown.

In a year when Sooner receivers have been in question, it is nice to see a true number one and two receiver emerge, and it gives hope for a promising future for the rest of the year and the next.

“We stepped up in the second half and got things rolling again like we did in Kansas,” Jones said. “We just got to keep it going and get better every week.”

Next week the Sooners will face the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Jones and the rest of the offense will have to continue to grow and take another step forward if the Sooners want a chance to beat the Cornhuskers.
