Baylor has been inconsistent on both sides of the ball this season, but the 11th-ranked Bears have found a way to win and remain in the discussion for the College Football Playoff as the undefeated Big 12 Conference leader.Its reflective of a team that knows how to finish and thats a tribute to our coaches and our players, Baylor interim coach Jim Grobe said.The players, once they see more formations and the plays, running plays and throws from a defensive perspective, you kind of figure things out a little more. And on offense, once youve seen coverages and fronts enough, you kind of get it figured out.Baylor (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) comes off a bye week and rolls into Saturdays homecoming game against Kansas as a five-touchdown favorite. The Jayhawks (1-4, 0-2) nearly ended their 13-game Big 12 losing streak last week but missed three field goals in the fourth quarter -- from 37, 41 and 54 yards -- before losing 24-23 to TCU.Man, we got in a position to where we could take a shot at it, and as a coach thats all you really want, said second-year Kansas coach David Beaty. We gave ourselves a chance to win, but, man, I am burning inside with the fact we werent able to get the win because I felt like I gave it away in a lot of ways.Baylor, whose toughest games figure to come after October -- TCU, at Oklahoma, at West Virginia -- appears to have its entire offensive arsenal coming together. Wide receiver KD Cannon is expected to be back from a groin injury this week, and running back Shock Linwood had his best performance of the year last time out at Iowa State, when Baylor eked out a 45-42 win in Ames, Iowa.Linwood rushed for 237 yards against the Cyclones. He had only two carries for 4 yards a week earlier against Oklahoma State. Terence Williams and Jamycal Hasty help give Baylor a formidable backfield combination. The Bears are fifth nationally, averaging 290.2 rushing yards per game.You go week-to-week, Grobe said of the running back situation.Whoever plays the best one week is probably the lead sled dog the next week. The thing Im happy about is to see how Shock handled not many carries against Oklahoma State and was just on fire against Iowa State.Quarterback Seth Russell has been a dangerous dual threat, but he hasnt been lighting up defenses in the manner of recent Baylor teams under former coach Art Briles. Russell has completed 92 of 155 passes for 1,326 yards, with 14 touchdowns and four interceptions. He is averaging 265.2 passing yards per game.The Jayhawks secondary played well against TCU, with three interceptions of Kenny Hill, including two by cornerback Brandon Stewart. Kansas held Hill to 206 passing yards.Were developing. I love our team, Beaty said.Theyre showing improvement in a lot of different things. If we continue to do that, I think well continue to play competitive football and give our fans something they can be proud of. Were going to stay the course.Part of the reason for last weeks failed upset bid was that Kansas had to settle for field goal attempts, and part of that problem was Beaty admitted to calling conservative quarterback keepers for Ryan Willis. The sophomore, making his first start of the season, was responsible for four turnovers.Nonetheless, Willis had his moments after replacing Montell Cozart as the Kansas starter. He completed 31 of 45 passes for 348 yards. But three interceptions and a lost fumble taxed the Kansas defense, which played at a level good enough to win a Big 12 game.Willis was KUs starters for most of last season after Cozart suffered a season-ending injury in the fourth game.He is going to probably make a big jump in this game and the next game, just in his pure execution, Beaty said. Once you get to where its second nature, now you can pay attention to whats going on down field.The Jayhawks have dropped six straight games against the Bears. One matchup was close -- a 31-30 overtime decision in 2011 -- but the other five games were decided by an average of 56-11. Fake Shoes Discount . Speaking Thursday on TSN 1050 Thursday, the Leafs GM also touched on the questions surrounding the teams leadership and the struggles of his big-name free-agent signing. “Its not from lack of effort from the coaching staff. China Shoes For Sale . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. https://www.fakeshoesonline.com/ . The quest begins with what is supposed to be an easy one, although Germany has traditionally been a stubborn opponent to Canadian teams at international tournaments. Replica Shoes Online . LOUIS -- St. Fake Jordan Shoes . JOHNS, N. STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State coach James Franklin said this week that the Nittany Lions needed to show opponents the ability to win games solely by the pass if the ground game goes awry; with 372 yards rushing against Maryland on Saturday, its a theory they didnt need to prove.Saquan Barkley ran for 202 yards, quarterback Trace McSorley added 81 more and threw a pair of touchdown passes to lead Penn State over Maryland 38-14 in front of a homecoming crowd of 100,778.McSorley accounted for 233 total yards, throwing for 152, as the Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) had a season-high 524 total yards and snapped Marylands five game win streak.Its simple, Franklin said. Its upfront. If youre good up front across the offensive line and the defensive line, you have a chance to be successful.Penn State has gotten off to slow starts in each of its games this season. The Nittany Lions shook that off with a seven-play, 84-yard touchdown drive on its opening possession that featured four plays of 17 yards or more and capped by a 5-yard scoring pass from McSorley to tight end Mike Gesicki.It was huge for us to get that first touchdown, said McSorley. We were able to get Beaver Stadium rocking.Barkley averaged 6.5 yards on 31 carries.I didnt do anything spectacular today, Barkley said. The offensive line took over and did a good job. We kind of felt we could run the ball; we hadnt been getting our running game going. The offensive line did an outstanding job. I saw that we had 300 some yards and I told them (linemen), `its all you.We got off to a fast start today, Barkley added. Weve been able to put 30 points on the board but we havent started on fire.Penn State had four sacks and limited Maryland (4-1, 1-1) to 270 total yards, including 170 on the ground. The Terps came in averaging 300 yards rushing per game in victories over Howard, Florida International, Central Florida and Purdue. Lorenzo Harrison led the Terps with 76 yards rushing.Maryland was forced to play without veteran quarterback Perry Hills during the second half; Hills injured his shoulder on a second-quarter keeper deep in Penn State territory and Maryland coach D.J. Durkin said it was not in Hills best interest to return in the second half.We have to play better, we have to coach better, Durkin said. We made dumb mistakes. We have to stay within the scheme of our offensse.ddddddddddddMaryland closed to within 17-14 late in the first half when Tyrrell Pigrome, subbing for the injured Hills, scored on his first snap with a 7-yard run. But Barkley peeled off a 25-yard run and one play later a 45-yard scoring jaunt to put the Lions up by 10 at the half.Its really indescribable how we played that next series on defense, Durkin said. We didnt call it well, we didnt execute it well; I cant even begin to describe it.Penn State penalties and a Barkley fumble enabled the Terps to stay within striking distance until McSorley hooked up with DeAndre Thompkins on a 70-yard scoring pass late in the third quarter to make it 31-14.Offensively, we put up some good numbers and did some good things, Penn States Franklin said. I thought we matched up well against this team on the O-line and the D-line. The games that weve matched up well, weve had success.KEY INJURIES: Tackle Andrew Nelson, arguably Penn States top lineman, injured his right knee late in the first half and likely will be lost for the season, Franklin said. Penn State freshman punter Blake Gillikin was injured when Maryland blocked a first-half punt and did not return.TARGETING A KICKER: Penn State kicker Joey Julius made jarring tackles against Kent State and Michigan this season and as a result has drawn blocking interest on kickoffs. He was the victim of a late hit against Minnesota and the Gophers Jaylen Waters was ejected. Saturday, Julius was knocked down late by Marylands Isaiah Davis after his second-half kickoff had sailed out of bounds and Davis was ejected. If he (Davis) wasnt thrown out of the game, he would have been removed by me, Durkin said. That is not us. We had momentum to start the half and that swung it the other way. Julius, who weighs 260 pounds, revealed on Facebook last week that he underwent treatment over the summer in a St. Louis facility for an eating disorder.UP NEXTMARYLAND: After playing three of its first five games on the road, Maryland returns home to face Minnesota on Oct. 15.PENN STATE: The Nittany Lions have an open date Oct. 15 prior to playing their third straight home game on Oct. 22 against No. 2 Ohio State; the Buckeyes will be Penn States second top-five opponent this season.
