Tickets remain

The high price of tickets to Saturday’s Bedlam matchup between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State is keeping many fans away from the game at Boone Pickens Stadium.

OSU still had more than 1,000 tickets available on the stadium’s north side ranging from $250 to $1,000.

OU coach Bob Stoops was asked about it Tuesday and he hoped Sooner fans would solve the problem.

“Hopefully some of those OU people buy them if there’s extra ones,” he said. “Get as many there as we can, right?”

Stoops didn’t want to comment on why more OSU fans had not purchased the tickets, but he’s hoping to see more Sooner fans than empty seats.

“I hope we get as many OU fans that can buy them that we can and get more red in there if we’re able to,” he said.

Hartley makes cut

OU kicker Garrett Hartley has been named one of three finalists for the Lou Groza Award, which is presented annually to the top kicker in college football. The Palm Beach County Sports Institute and Palm Beach County Sports Commission made the announcement Tuesday.

The other finalists are John Vaughn of Auburn and Arthur Carmody of Louisville .

Hartley has connected on 17 of 18 field goals this season. His only miss on the year came on a blocked 44-yard field goal against Oregon. Hartley ranks second among all players in the Big 12 Conference with 8.2 points per game.

The junior place-kicker’s season long is a 46-yard field goal against Iowa State. Hartley has also remained perfect this season in extra point attempts going 39-of-39.
