Sooners Crush Kansas In Norman, 52-7

Posted: Updated:

Landry Jones threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 10 Oklahoma scored on a kickoff return and a punt return in the same game for the first time in school history while clobbering Kansas 52-7 on Saturday night.

Justin Brown made up for a lost fumble on his previous punt return by running his next chance back 90 yards and diving at the pylon for the score. Roy Finch then opened the second half with a 100-yard runback to stretch the lead to 45-0.

The Brown-Finch combo marked the first time the Sooners (5-1, 3-1 Big 12) have had two plays at least 90 yards long in the same game.

James Sims scored on a shutout-preventing touchdown run in the fourth quarter for Kansas (1-6, 0-4), which never presented much of a challenge while losing its 16th straight conference game and 27th out of the last 28.

Up next for the Sooners is a tough home test against No. 5 Notre Dame.  ESPN announced that College Gameday will be in Norman for the big matchup.

Kickoff from Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is at 7 PM next Saturday, and can be seen on Tulsa's Channel 8.
