Jones Named Davey O'Brien Quarterback of the Week.

Following a commanding 55-17 victory over then-No. 11 Texas, Oklahoma's Landry Jones has been named the Davey O'Brien Quarterback of the Week. Jones amassed 367 yards in the air while pushing the Sooners to a 5-0 mark for the 2011 season.

The Artesia, N.M., native continued his impressive play, completing 31-of-50 passes and landing three touchdowns. After the first quarter of play, the Sooners held a narrow 6-3 advantage, but the second quarter belonged to Jones and his offense. Within the first four minutes of the second stanza, Jones had struck twice and given Oklahoma a 20-3 lead. With less than one minute still to play in the opening half, the junior led the offense down the field, tallied his third touchdown of the quarter and gave the Sooners a strong 34-10 lead. At halftime, he had already accumulated 305 yards.

"I'm proud of those guys as well and the job that they were able to do," said Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops. "It's a great win. To come down here in that situation, and to win like that is really pretty special."

In Oklahoma's past three games, Jones has collected 1,240 passing yards and 11 touchdowns. He currently ranks second in the nation in total offense, averaging 363.2 yards per game. This weekend, Jones and third-ranked Oklahoma will continue their conference competition and travel to take on Kansas.
