WACO, Texas -- Baylor has touted itself as the nations top offense for the past three years, and with good reason. http://www.footballpantherspro.com/panthers-tre-boston-blue-jersey/ .The Bears have led the country in scoring and yards per game over that span, so it was strange for the home fans to see them sputter in the first half, without a touchdown while locked in a low-scoring tie with SMU.No. 23 Baylor finally reached the end zone with its opening march of the second half, igniting a 20-point third quarter on the way a 40-13 rout of the Mustangs on Saturday.Seth Russell threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score following the 6-6 halftime tie, and the Bears went on to a 13th straight victory over their former Southwest Conference rival.Give it to SMU, Russell said. They were flying around on defense. They were giving us things we hadnt really seen them do, and they have some really good players on their team. Theyre going to do a great job in their conference. Theyre going to be a tough team to beat.Baylor missed on several deep shots in the first half, but Blake Lynch capped its opening march after halftime by breaking free in the right seam for a 31-yard touchdown reception from Russell, who added a 19-yard scoring burst on a scramble on the Bears next possession. Russell was 26 of 47 with two interceptions.Orion Stewart intercepted two passes for Baylor. The first was in the end zone to stop a promising SMU threat, and he returned the second 33 yards for a touchdown to push Baylors lead to 26-6.Redshirt freshman quarterback Ben Hicks, who was a high school classmate of Stewarts in Waco, made his first career start for SMU (1-1) in place of senior Matt Davis, who left last weeks win over North Texas after taking a hard shot to the midsection and was listed as a game-time decision during the week.Hicks helped the Mustangs to 405 yards total offense, but he was intercepted three times -- twice in the end zone -- and SMU scored only one touchdown in five trips inside the 20.I talked to (Stewart) a little after the game and during the game, Hicks said. I wish I didnt throw it to him all night, but thats just how it goes sometimes. Ill bounce back, and Orions a great player.SMU outgained Baylor 184-32 in the first 10 minutes, but got just two field goals from Josh Williams.Baylors Blake Lynch lost a fumble into the end zone that SMU recovered on the best scoring chance in the first half. On the opening drive of the second half, he lost his defender on a hitch-and-go for an easy 31-yard score.Russell finished 26 of 47 with two interceptions.Hicks threw for 144 of his 229 yards in the first quarter, and connected with Courtland Sutton for SMUs only touchdown, a 20-yarder, in the third quarter.I felt like our guys deserved to be in that moment, SMU coach Chad Morris said. Im extremely excited about the direction of where our football program is going.POLL IMPLICATIONSFlorida dropped out of the Top 25 following an unimpressive win over UMass last weekend. The Bears probably spared themselves the same fate by outscoring the Mustangs 34-7 in the second half.THE TAKEAWAYSMU: The Mustangs were much more competitive than they have been in their last three meetings with Baylor in which they were outscored 160-45. But they still have a long way to go to compete with ranked teams. SMU gets another shot in a visit from No. 15 TCU on Sept. 23.Baylor: Its a sign of how strong the Bears offense has been in recent years that it gained more than 500 yards and still didnt look sharp for much of the game. Baylor turned the ball over three times and was 8 of 21 on third down, but still had plenty of firepower to pull away in the second half.UP NEXTSMU: The Mustangs schedule lightens up next week when they welcome FCS school Liberty to Dallas for their home opener.Baylor: The Bears have a short week before playing their second Friday night game of the season and first road contest against Rice.---Online: AP College Football website www.collegefootball.ap.org Carolina Panthers Jersey . Neymar curled home a free kick from just outside the area to put the 2014 World Cup host ahead in the 44th minute. Three minutes after the break, a simple through pass from Paulinho freed Oscar and the Chelsea star rounded goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong to extend Brazils lead. http:///...-lester-blue-jersey/ . 9. Price, heading to the 2014 Olympics for Canada, was named the First Star after posting wins in three starts with a 1.00 goals-against average and a .971 save percentage. http:///...hompson-blue-jersey/ . Cote was eligible to become a free agent Feb. 15. Cote helped running back Jon Cornish run for a league-high 1,813 rushing yards en route to being named the leagues most outstanding player. Michael Cheika insists he doesnt feel his jobs under pressure as the Wallabies begin picking up the pieces from a disastrous Bledisloe Cup campaign.Taking stock after losing 29-9 to the All Blacks in Saturdays second Test in Wellington - and having conceded 10 tries while scoring just one in back-to-back clashes with the world champions - Cheikas team badly need to show progress in the rest of the Rugby Championship campaign.Theyll regroup after a week off before tackling South Africa in Brisbane on Saturday week.Another defeat would bring Australias losing streak to seven Tests - the same number that led to the sacking of Eddie Jones in 2005, the teams most unsuccessful run in the professional era.Three of those losses were to New Zealand and three to England, widely rated the best two teams in world rugby.But another bad loss at home against a mediocre Springboks team, who have split their first two Tests with Argentina, would crank up pressure on them.Cheika appears to be feeling the heat, if his post-match spray at referee Romain Poite - who he alleged ignored captain Stephen Moore and also had a secret meeting with the All Blacks, which counterpart Steve Hansen subsequently refuted - is anything to go by.But he doesnt feel his position is in any jeopardy.I dont think I am [under pressure], Cheika told reporters in Sydney.The only person who puts pressure on me is myself.Im not worried about that stuff.The Springboks were disappointing in a 26-24 defeat by the Pumas in Argentina on Saturday night andd may present the Wallabies with an opportunity to play themselves back into form. http:///...-norman-blue-jersey/. However, there is plenty of work to do.Australia barely had a chance in attack in Wellington, running the ball 187m to New Zealands 411m, and were held tryless as the rampant hosts crossed the white line four times en route to clinching the Bledisloe Cup for a 14th straight year.With no injured players expected back for Brisbane, Cheika has already declared his intention to stick with Quade Cooper and Bernard Foley as the teams twin playmakers, while lock Adam Coleman brought some promising vigour in just his second Test appearance - if overdone at times.Young backline utility Reece Hodge showed some signs in his debut off the bench, including kicking a monster 52m penalty, that suggest he could become a regular for years to come.But apparent glaring problems remain, including lineout woes and a lack of ball-running forwards, especially a power No.8, to provide much-needed go-forward.Vice-captain Michael Hooper believes, despite their two Bledisloe beltings, a win isnt too far away.We made huge improvements during the week, he said.Still the scoreboard didnt paint a great picture but as far as intent of the guys at training and in the game, you cant build that sort of stuff and not get results in the back end of the year.(Im not) hoping, Im knowing theres some good to come from this.
