ON THE SPOT By Mike Baldwin
The Sooners were 2-5 away from Norman last season, losing three true road games and two neutral site games. But the previous season, OU was 5-0 in true road games. Listed below are some key figures for the Sooners’ first road game this season.
Cincinnati coach Butch Jones
An upset win or even a close loss would give the new coach much-needed momentum. Growing pains were expected with a new staff and 11 new starters. But no one expected two ugly road losses after back-to-back BCS bowl appearances.
OU quarterback Landry Jones
The redshirt sophomore filled in well last season after Sam Bradford was injured but most of Jones’ success was at home. Jones threw 10 interceptions away from Owen Field and had only eight touchdowns.

Oklahoma’s Tom Wort PHOTO BY JOHN CLANTON, THE OKLAHOMAN
Cincinnati OT Samuel Griffin
The Bearcats have allowed a nation-worst 15 sacks. Griffin has the unenviable task of blocking Oklahoma defensive end Jeremy Beal, who has a shot at OU’s career sacks record.
OU linebacker Tom Wort
The redshirt freshman has played well but sometimes is out of position. Playing on the road for the first time, Wort faces a quarterback who runs zone read running plays and can air it out.
Oklahoma LT Donald Stephenson
After being hampered last week in practice by a bruised tailbone, Stephenson played well in the second half to regain his starting job. Stephenson is the blindside protection for Landry Jones, who has looked rattled under pressure.
