On a day when Oklahoma football as a team was not up to typical Sooner standards, kicker Gabe Brkic went above and beyond the call of duty.

The Sooner junior placekicker converted four of five field goals, including three of longer than 50 yards. That performance earned Brkic Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week. He now has eight field goals of 50 yards or longer.
