Smith, Iglesias Honored by Big 12

NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma players took two of the three Big 12 weekly football honors for their play in last Saturday's 36-10 win at Baylor. Safety Reggie Smith was named the defensive player of the week, while kick returner Juaquin Iglesias won the special teams honor.

Smith, a sophomore from Edmond, Okla., had two interceptions with 94 yards in returns. His first went for 42 yards and a touchdown, while his second covered 52 yards and set up the Sooner offense at the Baylor 18. Four plays later, OU punched in another touchdown.

Smith also broke up three passes and registered two tackles in the game.

Iglesias, a sophomore from Killeen, Texas, had two returns for 111 yards, including an 88-yarder for a touchdown on a Baylor free kick. It was the first kickoff return, as free kicks are categorized, for a touchdown by a Sooner player since Mark Bradley went for 100 yards against Iowa State in 2004.

Kansas running back Jon Cornish was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. The Jayhawks downed in-state rival Kansas State.

Oklahoma, which has won six in a row, is ranked No. 13 in this week's Associated Press poll and No. 14 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll.

OU, 9-2 overall and 6-1 in Big 12 games, plays its regular season finale at Oklahoma State this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The game will be televised by FOX Sports Net.
