Oklahoma senior QB Landry Jones ends his career in the same venue in which he began in a 13-14 loss to BYU in the 2009 season opener. Jones is 1-1 at Jerry World, 2-1 against the Aggies, and 3-0 in bowl games. The only one of those statistics that could matter, however, is the record in bowl games. This version of Texas A&M is much different than any other that Bob Stoops or Oklahoma has ever faced, und ...
