Mike Jones led the Bronchos to a 25-6-1 record from 1970-72 as a three-year starter at quarterback while also handling the punting duties. He completed 190-of-355 passes for 2,957 yards and 23 touchdowns – which ranks 10th on UCO's career list – during an era when teams seldom threw the ball while also rushing 161 times for 558 yards and nine TDs.

Jones was a First-Team All-Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference selection in 1970 after throwing for 1,574 yards and 13 TDs in addition to rushing for 297 yards and five scores. He averaged 41.2 yards a punt and also kicked 28 extra points.

Jones threw for 655 yards and five TDs, ran for 273 yards and four more scores and averaged 37.2 yards a punt in 1971 while battling injuries, then came back with a stellar senior campaign.

He earned First-Team All-OIC honors again in 1972 and was also an Honorable Mention NAIA All-American. Jones threw for 728 yards and five scores while rushing for 558 yards and nine TDs in leading the Bronchos to the NAIA playoffs for the first time in 10 years.
