NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma's Garrett Hartley is the SBC Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week. The sophomore kicker made all three of his field goal attempts, including a pressurized try at the end of the first overtime, to help the Sooners knock off Baylor, 37-30, in double overtime Saturday on Owen Field. 

It marks the second consecutive week that an OU player has received one of the weekly Big 12 awards. Rufus Alexander captured the defensive honor for his play against Kansas.

Hartley's three field goal makes represented a career high. He was good on attempts from 32, 25 and 39 yards. The latter of those came at the end of the first overtime and forged a 30-30 tie. The kick also forced the second overtime period in which OU prevailed on a 21-yard pass from Rhett Bomar to Juaquin Inglesias. Hartley made the extra point after that play before Baylor's ensuing possession.

Hartley made all three of his point after touchdown kicks and booted four touchbacks on kickoffs.

Other Big 12 honors for the week went to Missouri quarterback Brad Smith on offense and Iowa State cornerback LeMarcus Hicks on defense.
