Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford will not play on Saturday against Miami, and the Canes will face freshman Landry Jones.

Jones has done his best to fill in for the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, but his lack of success on longer throws will really keep the explosive Oklahoma offense from performing like last season. Check out this comparison between Jones and Bradford, courtesy of ESPN's Stats & Information:

Jones vs Bradford: Throws of 10+ yards
  Jones '09 Bradford '08
Comp-Att 10-26 92-174
Comp pct 38.5 52.9
Yds per Att 9.8 13.5
TD-INT 5-3 21-7

Jacory Harris, on the other hand, has proven capable of throwing the deep ball:

Jacory Harris: Throws 10 yards or more
  First two games vs. VA Tech
Comp-Att 18-25 6-18
Yds per Att 18.0 7.1
