Why is Jones still in the game?
And he did!
21-63 and somehow the final score still didn't illustrate how big of a route it was.
65-13 (2000)
63-14 (2003)
63-21 (2012)
Impressive!
Loved a quote I saw on an article about the game
One of the great sights in college football! The Cotton Bowl, evenly divided. Crimson and Cream on one side, concrete and aluminum on the other!
Love this statistic! Best rivalry in college football hands down!
Just because other QBs are better does not mean Landry is overrated. Probably half of OU fans didn't even want Landry to come back for his senior year. Since Landry is not "rated" very highly by most fans, I don't think I would say he is overrated. In fact, since people are so often down on him I'd say he's slightly underrated.
Landry is not the perfect quarterback - slow feet, doesn't carry out his fakes, occasionally gets rattled - but he has good pocket presence, the best arm strength and throws the best deep ball of any OU quarterback ever.
It’s not just the rankings of the 2 teams, or the neutral site, it’s also the State Fair that no other major game has that all combine to make this so great for the fans….. The total evenviorment is much better than any other big game or bowl game. The game still means a lot even when both teams are having down years.
They plan on adding another 4000 or so seats to the stadium.
Right now OU is one of the top university’s for the development of QB prospects.
For those who are concerned with OU’s QB depth OU is well stocked with young prospects at the QB position.
All are greater threats to run than Landry, Hyble, Thomson, White, or Bradford.
According to reports 2 would be very significant running threats.
In time they will have the best collection of receivers that I have ever seen at OU.
I somewhat agree with your thesis, but I would counter that White had better deep-threat receivers than Landry has had overall. Broyles was a stud but didn't have blinding speed like Mark Bradley and Clayton had.
Landry has a much better arm than White did, and is capable of making throws very few QBs are capable of making. Bradford was similar in that regard, if slightly better.
Jones is the winningest QB in OU history. It's embarrassing as an OU fan to hear so many ignorami unfairly criticize him. The guy's one of the best QBs in our history and knuckledraggers are complaining about him? Why on earth if you were a stud high school QB would you want to play in front of fans like that?
Landry is undefeated as a starter against Texas!
Landry is undefeated as a starter in bowl games!
Landry is undefeated as a starter in Big 12 Championship games!
Landry owns virtually every OU passing record!
Landry is the winningest QB in Oklahoma football history!
Yeah, he hasn't proven it on the field. He really sucks.
What color is the sky in your world?
