Jones wins Sammy Baugh Award

[Jay C. Upchurch]

NORMAN — Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones has won the Sammy Baugh Award as college football’s top passer. The honor is presented annually by The Touchdown Club of Columbus (Ohio).

Jones, a sophomore from Artesia, N.M., led the Sooners to their seventh Big 12 Championship while passing for 4,239 yards and 35 touchdowns. He completed 65.3% of his passes and threw just 11 interceptions while facing three of the top 15 teams among the NCAA’s pass efficiency defense leaders.

The award was first presented in 1959 and has been held by legendary passers including Steve Young, John Elway, Bob Griese and fellow Sooner QB Sam Bradford (2008).

The Sammy Baugh Award will be presented during the Touchdown Club of Columbus 56th Annual Sports Banquet scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011, at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion in Downtown Columbus.

We need a Boomer Sooner smilie for celebratory posts like this.

[Leroy Lizard]

Someone needs to post this on the pokes' fan sites.

Oh, also on the Horn sites, as a gentle reminder that Stoops' ability to appraise and develop QBs is unrivaled.

[cantwait48]

[OU-HSV]

Great for him. Thanks for the update.

[swardboy]

Prelude to next year's Heisman! Way to go LJ.

[Leroy Lizard]

Anyone now doubt that he won't be on the Heisman watch list?

[Section 9]

Great News! Way to go, Landry!

[Stooper]

Well deserved!! His game management keeps getting better. Has made some big time clutch throws this year. ( Osu 4th quarter to Kenney and Hannah)( Big 12 Champ. 3rd and 24 to Kenney ). Glad we have him for 2 more years!!

[Always_Sooner]

Got snubbed by the all Big 12 team, but finally got the recognition he deserved.

[85sooners]

:)

[VA Sooner]

Great job, Landry. Keep it going... need consistency for the bowl game and a good finish!

[Therealsouthsider]

I bet he'd trade it for all for al jerkins and John holcombs approval/vote for all big 12 qb .... What a bunch of aggy idiots

[Okie35]

He completed 65.3% of his passes and threw just 11 interceptions while facing three of the top 15 teams among the NCAA’s pass efficiency defense leaders.

He's so inconsistent. :rolleyes:


Anyone now doubt that he won't be on the Heisman watch list?

I've been saying he'll for sure be a legit candidate next year. Leroy weren't you green the other day? lol

[SoonerRoy]

But he is not even first or second team all Big 12 (Weeden and Griffith). ???

[yermom]

they probably figured he had two more years to make it

besides, it's nothing special to take OU to another Big 12 championship

it's really something to win 10 games at OSU or take Baylor to a bowl :D

[Sooner95]

It's a QB award, based alot of overall passing stats. Always has been, just look at the past winners.

Anyways, Jones deserves to win the award, he had a great season, let's not forget, he is only a Sophmore.


Had to look at stats for a couple of other Big12 qb's and compare.



Name - Att - Comp - Yards - Td - Int

Jones - 568 - 65.3 - 4289 - 35 - 11

Weeden - 470 - 67.4 - 4037 - 32 - 13

Griffin - 413 - 66.3 - 3195 - 21 - 8

He had a pretty nice year when you look at it. Congrats to him.

[dwarthog]

Congrats Landry Jones!

Well deserved!

[OUHOMER]

Congrates LJ. Heisman and MNC next year

[Boomer.....]

Awesome! Glad he got some recognition.

[sooner_kaufy]

Congrats Landry!!!!

[SoonerNutt]

Congrats LJ!

He deserves some recognition, and I guess after the last couple of weeks, the media feels he's earned it.

The only drawback now is that he can't play the "nobody respects me" card for extra motivation.

He'll be a Heisman candidate next season. I hope he has a season to win it.

[Sooners78]

Based on the last two games, he deserves it. He has really made some clutch throws when the game was on the line. Something that comes with experience.

[BigRed47]

But, but, but Brandon Weedon is the best QB in the Big 12. How can this be.

[bringit]

seems like he sucks

[picasso]

Sammy Baugh cussed like it was an art from.

[budbarrybob]

STROKE 60 WPS

that'll chafe..
