What? That was their completion percentage. Heres the rundown. Oklahoma started running a spread offense in 2008. In 2007 they were running a pro style offense. The percentages you see with Landry Jones at 58% is his completion percentage. The 2008 and 2009 numbers indicate production in a spread, the 2007 numbers for Bradford indicate production in a pro style offense.
I was pointing out the strawman argument that Landry Jones played just as well as Sam Bradford when the numbers clearly indicate otherwise. Maybe it's not just you but I seem to keep hearing stuff like "oh Landry Jones put up the same numbers as Bradford" or something to that effect when that is clearly not the case. I mean maybe you can make a case that numbers don't mean everything but in this case they clearly do.

If he would actually know what he was talking about he would see that OU play's one of the hardest Non-Conference schedules in the country.  |
What I want to know is how can all these Big XII school recruit all this amazing talent (Okung, Kindle, Robinson, Bryant, McCoy of both Colt and Gerald, Suh) and yet apparently they get downplayed "because their defenzes aren't as tuff as dem SEC defenses right der." I mean which is it? Do these teams just recruit on the offensive side of the ball and then visit the trauma unit at your local hospital to find their defensive players?
The two best defensive tackles in the country are Big XII DT's.
You know what, in the SEC it's easy to be a great defense when most of your opponents run the most vanilla offenses in the country and you practically refuse to play quality out of conference opponents. Thats why Florida has kicked so much ass since Meyer came, a lot of the SEC teams outside Alabama can't handle a well designed offense.
