WACO, Texas -- No. 11 Baylor and Kansas were on opposite ends of near upsets in their last games.Those outcomes were indicative of why the Bears are trying to get to 6-0 for the fourth straight season, and the Jayhawks are still trying to get out of the Big 12 cellar while serving as Homecoming opponents their next two road games -- the first being Saturday on the banks of the Brazos River against Baylor.Before having last weekend off, the Bears (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) needed a 17-point comeback in the fourth quarter at Iowa State. Their only lead in a 45-42 win came when Chris Callahan kicked a 19-yard field goal on the final play of the game, an outcome that certainly got their attention.You have to bring your `A game every game, quarterback Seth Russell said. And I feel like as long as we can focus on what we can do and execute at a high level, we can win ballgames.Kansas (1-4, 0-2) was oh-so-close to what could have been a season-boosting upset of TCU. The Jayhawks had a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter before missing three field goal attempts, the last in the final seconds of a 24-23 loss after the Frogs had kicked a go-ahead field goal. That stretched Kansas conference losing streak to 14 games.Coming off the game from last week, obviously our guys are anxious to get back out there and get another shot at it, second-year Jayhawks coach David Beaty said.Watching that game, theyre going to come with some fire. But I hope they watched our game, Bears senior cornerback Ryan Reid said. Thats not us, were going to come back and were going to (be) Baylor, definitely, at home.Some other things to know when Kansas makes its third consecutive trip to Waco as the Bears opponent for Homecoming. Baylor won 60-14 two years ago in its first season at McLane Stadium, and won 41-14 in 2012.SHOCK FACTORThis has been an up-and-down season for senior running Shock Linwood, who became Baylors career rushing leader Sept. 16 at Rice, then had only two carries for 4 yards the next week. But he is coming off a 237-yard performance against Iowa State in the last game, when he had 25 carries and his first touchdown of the season. On the sideline after the second quarter, I went over to him and said, `This is the Shock I remember. And he kind of laughed at me a little bit, Russell said.CENTURY SIMSJayhawks sophomore Steven Sims Jr . had nine catches for 101 yards against TCU, his third 100-yard receiving game this season. That is already the most by a Kansas player since 2009, when Dezmon Briscoe had seven and Kerry Meier five.BEHIND THE LINEKansas is fourth among FBS teams this season with 9.6 tackles for loss per game, which is currently on pace to break the school record (9.4 per game in 2016). Their 48 total is only 10 shy of what they had all last season. After last year, our whole staff, we take it personal where we finish in specific areas because your stats are who you are. You cant run from them, Beaty said, crediting defensive coordinator Clint Bowen and his staff for the improvement. He was extremely motivated because, man, he puts better teams out there than that routinely.TAKING THE FOURTHBaylor hasnt allowed a point in the fourth quarter this season, outscoring opponents 45-0 in the final 15 minutes. I think its reflective of a team that knows how to finish, said acting head coach Jim Grobe, adding that the Bears are a well-conditioned team. Kansas has scored only 14 points in the fourth quarter this season, and that was on two touchdowns in the season-opening 55-6 win over Rhode Island.OPEN GAME OPENAfter the Kansas game, the Bears have an open date -- their second one in three weeks. Baylor is coming off an open date last week. The Bears will play six consecutive weeks after that to end the regular season, with only two of those games at home.---Online:College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.orgCheap San Diego Padres Jerseys .

The head of USA Boxing came out swinging Tuesday with an open letter to Tyson -- a former Olympic hopeful himself -- that accuses the former heavyweight champion of trying to poach fighters who might be candidates for the U.Midway through the second session, Matt Renshaw danced down the pitch and shovelled Yasir Shah over midwicket for three. Already Renshaw had raised the bat to his home crowd upon reaching his maiden Test half-century. Now he was moving into the 70s. A hometown Test hundred was beginning to seem within his reach. And a cross-town dash was starting to look necessary for his parents, Ian and Alison.The Renshaws had been in Adelaide for their sons Test debut last month, and might have been expected to be in the crowd for his first Test at his home ground. But instead they were several kilometres away, watching Renshaws sister Hannah graduate from her Masters of Architecture degree at the University of Queensland.Matthews had his debut in Adelaide, so well be there, very, very proud of what she [Hannah] has done, Alison Renshaw told Nine News earlier this week. Ian Renshaw added that Matt was perhaps relieved not to have to sit through his sisters three-hour ceremony: But as we said, weve waited three hours for you to bat and then youve been out first ball.At stumps, having fallen for 71 when he edged behind off Wahab Riaz, Renshaw explained that he understood his parentts prioritising.ddddddddddddThey came to Adelaide and Hannahs graduation is a really big thing for her, so I think its good that they went and saw her, Renshaw said at stumps. Unfortunately, I couldnt still be in when they finished there and they couldnt head over.What would it have taken for them to rush across Brisbane and find their way into the Gabba?They told me I needed to be 80 not out at the dinner break, but I couldnt do that. I let them down, he joked.There was, however, one Renshaw in the crowd. Some time ago, Renshaw had purchased a ticket for the Gabba Test, not expecting to be part of Australias side. He was meant to be sitting with a group of friends from the Toombul Cricket Club, where Renshaw plays in Brisbane, and some of those mates chose to honour his call-up by filling his seat with a mannequin adorned with a print-out of Renshaws face.It was a bit strange seeing my face on a mannequin when I was out there batting, Renshaw said. It probably took my mind off the game for a little bit, but it was good fun from the boys. ' ' '
