OU holder Spencer Jones could barely get to his car before the tears starting flowing.The tears were of joy after Sooners coach Lincoln Riley told him in early December that he’d been placed on scholarship. It had been a long journey for Jones from a high school quarterback whose only offer out of high school came from Morehead State, an FCS program from the Pioneer League, whose teams don’t award athletic scholarships. Before Riley’s announcement, Jones expected his career to be over after the bowl game, where the Sooners will face Florida in the Cotton Bowl on Wednesday.
