ON THE SPOT By Mike Baldwin
Oklahoma’s 31-24 win over Utah State raised many questions. Answers provided today against No. 17 Florida State could reveal a lot about what kind of season the Sooners will have.
OU quarterback Landry Jones
After completing only 47.2 percent of his passes with two interceptions, Jones faces a suspect Florida State defense that wants to prove it’s much improved under new defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, Bob’s brother.

Secondary
The Sooners collected three interceptions but surrendered 220 yards on six pass plays. Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder, a Heisman Trophy candidate, will test Jamell Fleming, Demontre Hurst and Jonathan Nelson.
Defensive line
Jeremy Beal is a star. Frank Alexander returns but won’t be 100 percent. Adrian Taylor isn’t 100 percent. Three sophomore defensive tackles played well in the opener but faces a FSU offensive line that has 147 career starts.
Offensive line
Coach Bob Stoops said the O-line is further along than last year, but inconsistency played a role in Tress Way punting eight times against a Utah State defense that was among the nation’s worst in 2009.
Wide receivers
Ryan Broyles is a special talent, and Cameron Kenney showed signs of providing steady production. True freshman Kenny Stills, who missed part of camp with a groin injury, was out of sync with Landry Jones.
Patrick O’Hara
Bob Stoops’ decision to go for it on fourth-and-9 instead of attempting a 45-yard field goal early in the game spoke volumes. Patrick O’Hara’s only field goal was a low line drive that barely cleared the cross bar.
