Cox, Alexander, Cherry earn Big 12 awards


OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma State cornerback Perrish Cox, Missouri receiver Danario Alexander and Kansas State kicker Josh Cherry are the Big 12 players of the week.



Cox is defensive player of the week after intercepting two passes and breaking up three in OSU's 24-17 win over Texas Tech.



Alexander wins the offensive award after catching 10 passes for 200 yards and a school-record three touchdowns in a 38-12 win over Kansas State.



Cherry was four-for-four in field goals and tied his career-longest with a 47-yard field goal in the loss to Missouri.
