Sooners pull away but lose Broyles

NORMAN, Okla. -- Landry Jones threw two touchdown passes during Oklahoma's 28-point third-quarter surge and the No. 6 Sooners pulled away from Texas A&M, 41-25, yesterday, but lost All-American receiver Ryan Broyles for the year with a knee injury.

Broyles came out in the third quarter and the school announced after the game the senior had torn a ligament in his left knee. He had two catches for 87 yards and both set up touchdowns.

The Sooners (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) led just 13-10 at halftime, but Texas A&M (5-4, 3-3) had its second-half troubles continue -- the Aggies gave up big second-half leads in its previous three losses.

The Aggies, headed for the Southeastern Conference, won't miss coming to Norman. They're 0-7 on Owen Field during the Bob Stoops era; the previous six losses had come by an average of 41 points.

Jones threw third-quarter touchdown passes of 31 yards to Jaz Reynolds, who made a nifty one-handed grab -- and 39 yards to Kenny Stills.

Texas A&M's seven third-quarter possessions produced four punts, two turnovers and a missed field goal. One punt, into the 30-mph wind, netted just 14 yards and set Oklahoma up at the Aggies' 31-yard line. On the first play, Jones hit Reynolds down the right side.

A&M's next drive ended with an interception by defensive end Ronnell Lewis, who caught a tipped ball and returned it 11 yards to the Aggies' 28. Finch scored five plays later. The Sooners needed one play to score after an interception by Jamell Fleming -- Jones' long pass to Stills down the left sideline to make it 41-10.

Ryan Tannehill's 79-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Swope with 1:39 left in the first half got the Aggies within 10-7.
