AMES, Iowa -- As tumultuous as Baylors offseason was, the Bears first month under interim coach Jim Grobe has gone relatively smoothly.No. 13 Baylor (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) is the only team in the league with four wins. Last week it used four turnovers to hold off a talented Oklahoma State team 35-24 , and with Iowa State (1-3, 0-1) and Kansas (1-2, 0-0) up next, Baylor has a very realistic shot at finishing the first half of the season unbeaten.I think weve got to improve to be the kind of team were capable of being. But I think weve got a talented football team, Grobe said.The Cyclones are a big underdog against the Bears, a program that it used to share space with in the Big 12 basement.But Iowa State might have turned a corner last week. After losing three straight under new coach Matt Campbell, the Cyclones destroyed San Jose State 44-10 behind an opportunistic defense and an emerging offense.Baylor will be their toughest challenge yet though.The Bears defense, often forgotten about as the offense racked up historic stats in recent years, is ranked among the nations best. Baylors ingenuity in the passing game has been paired with increased balance in 2016 as well, as it ranks second nationally with 326 rushing yards per game.They have really good football players. That hasnt changed, Campbell said. They expect to win. That hasnt changed.Here are some of the story lines to follow as Baylor gets set to make the trip to Ames:STOUT BEARS DThe Bears are 11th nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 13.5 points per game, first in pass efficiency defense and fifth in tackles for loss. Baylor also leads the Big 12 with nine takeaways.Its a pretty big deal. We have a group of guys who are hungry to try and go get the ball. Any time we see it loose, we go for it, linebacker Aiavion Edwards said.CYCLONE QB SHUFFLEIowa State has split snaps between starter Joel Lanning and Jacob Park the past few games, and against San Jose State that rotation was a major success. The pair combined for over 300 yards and five touchdowns on 22 of 29 passing, with Park tossing for three scores in a breakout performance. The two are expected to get similar playing time against Baylor.Both have earned the right to play quarterback, Campbell said. But if the Cyclones get down early expect to see more of Park, the more accurate passer of the two.NOT-SO RECORD NUMBERSBaylor became just the second team in FBS history, along with BYU (1979-81), to lead the nation in scoring three years in a row with 48.1 points per game. The Bears have dipped a bit in that regard, averaging 42 points while playing just one Power Five school. But Iowa State is just seventh in the Big 12 in scoring defense, and Saturdays weather, often a big problem in the leagues most northern outpost, is forecast to be perfect.SERIES HISTORYIts easy to forget how lopsided this series used to be -- in favor of Iowa State. The Cyclones won four straight matchups from 1997-2004, including a 41-0 blowout in Ames in 2001. But Iowa State hasnt beaten Baylor since 2012, losing in Waco 71-7 the following season.HE SAID ITFinally being able to get that first win is just a sigh of relief. Just knowing that we put in all of that work for a good reason, Iowa State wide receiver Allen Lazard said.---Online: www.collegefootball.ap.org NBA Jerseys From China .

Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season. "I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. An impressive all-round display from R Ashwin handed India the advantage on the second day as they posted a sizable 455 and then reduced England to 103 for 5 at stumps in the second Test in Visakhapatnam on Friday.The hosts had already stamped their authority by ending day one on 317 for four. R Ashwin ensured they added to Englands woes by joining forces with debutant Jayant Yadav to add 64 runs for the eighth wicket. Ben Stokes eventually accounted for Ashwin for a 95-ball 58 after he edged a short delivery to the keeper.In 2016, Ashwin has scored two centuries and two fifties in Tests. He has also scored his fourth half-century against England, which is the most he has scored against any opposition. He averages 50.90 against them.Englands batsmen had 16 overs to negotiate before tea and they had hoped to keep their wickets in tact as the day wore on. But they lost their captain, Alastair Cook, in the third over of the day when Mohammad Shami uprooted his off stump after the ball angled away.Haseeb Hameed and Joe Root added 47 runs for the second wicket, but Hameeds innings was cut short as he was run out for 13. Kohli held back his trump card, Ashwin, till the 16th over and he didnt disappoint his captain when he finally got the ball, as he got it to drift and turn sharply.dddddddddddd Ben Duckett was his first victim of the Test as he got the third ball of his fourth over to drift into middle and leg, beat the outside edge and hit middle stump.Joe Root stood tall, on 53 from 98 balls, for England, as wickets fell at the other end. But two overs after Ducketts departure, Root erred against Ashwin by misreading the length as he stepped out of the crease. He went through with his shot but miscued it to long-off. Jayant then trapped the centurion from the first Test, Moeen Ali, lbw for one. Ashwins 12 overs yielded just 15 runs and two wickets.In the end, Stokes and Jonny Bairstow hung grimly on for 14.4 overs, but they got just 23 runs in those. India will look to bowl England out of the Test on day three.Im enjoying my batting, I tried to stay positive, Ashwin said. There are some attacks where you feel good about going out and batting. Ever since England toured here last time, I have been batting well against them and thats a psychological advantage I carry into a game when I play against them. Its a very different pitch to what we saw in Rajkot and its not one of those easy-paced wickets.
