Landry Jones, Damien Williams help Oklahoma fend off UTEP

EL PASO, Texas -- Landry Jones faced pressure on nearly every snap, had trouble finding his receivers. The running game bogged down most of the night. The specials teams allowed two blocked kicks, one that led to a touchdown. It wasn't pretty, nearly a disaster actually, but the Sooners found a win to grind out a win. Riding its defense all night and scoring a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter, No. 4 Oklahoma survived a scare by slogging out a 24-7 win over Texas-El Paso on Saturday night. "We just weren't in synch," Jones said. "It was one of those things where we would have flashes of greatness, but it wouldn't be all as a team. But we came out with a W and that's what we're shooting for." Oklahoma labored from the start of its opener, unable to generate much of a running game or get anything going downfield.
