WACO, Texas -- Baylor has touted itself as the nations top offense for the past three years, and with good reason.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 Richard Jefferson Jersey . According the Toronto Star, a knee injury will keep Sundin out of the lineup, which includes former teammates Gary Roberts, Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi and Curtis Joseph. Malik Beasley Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. http://www.nuggetsprostore.com/kids-gary-harris-nuggets-jersey/ .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013.

STANDING OUT AMONG HIS PEERS In the Tests that he has played, Ashwin has averaged 24.29, while all the other bowlers who have played in those Tests have collectively averaged 34.16. That means Ashwin has been 1.41 times as good as those other bowlers, in terms of average. Among all spinners with at least 200 wickets, only Muttiah Muralitharan and Clarrie Grimmett have had better ratios. Among all bowlers with 200-plus wickets, Ashwin is in 13th place; those above him include Dale Steyn, Glenn McGrath, Imran Khan, Malcolm Marshall, Curtly Ambrose and Allan Donald.Best ratio of averages - spinners (Min 200 wkts)In Asia, Ashwin has been even more effective, with an average of 20.07, compared to 33.70 by all other bowlers. Ashwins ratio of 1.68 is third among all bowlers who have at least 100 wickets in Asia - only Imran and Muralitharan have done better. Among Indias leading bowlers, Kapil Dev has a ratio of 1.27, Javagal Srinath 1.26, Harbhajan Singh 1.18, Bhagwath Chandrasekhar 1.15, and Bishan Bedi 1.12. GETTING TOP BATSMEN OUT EARLY Ashwin has made it a habit to dismiss the top opposition batsmen, and he often gets them out early. On the tour to Sri Lanka last year, he dismissed Kumar Sangakkara, who started the series with a career average of 58.04, for 5, 40, 32 and 18. In the home series against South Africa, he nailed Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers twice each, and in those four innings the two batsmen collectively scored 96. Similarly, Kane Williamson fell four times to Ashwin for an aggregate of 135.All of these batsmen started the series with 50-plus career averages, but generally fell to Ashwin fairly early in their innings. That has been a feature of Ashwins performances, especially in Asia. He has dismissed batsmen in the top five (Nos. 1-5) in the opposition line-up 88 times in Tests in Asia; the average difference between the batsmans average coming into that Test, and the score at which he was dismissed by Ashwin, has been 15.97. (A simple example of this would be a batsman averaging 50 being dismissed for 34, which is 16 runs below his average.)This is the highest difference among all spinners who have taken at least 50 top-five wickets in Asia. The corresponding wicket value for Kumble is 0.34,, for Harbhajan -2, and for Muralitharan -2.dddddddddddd61, which illustrates how effective Ashwin has been at getting good batsmen out early.Highest wicket-value of dismissals - spinners (Min 50 dismissals in Asia)His overall average against the top five batsmen is 30.51, the best among all spinners who have taken at least 50 top-five wickets in the last ten years. Among all bowlers, Ashwin is fifth, next only to Steyn (average 26.20), Vernon Philander (27), Ryan Harris (28.21) and James Anderson (29.75). OUTSTANDING OVER 15 TESTS Ashwin is one of only three players to score 500-plus runs and take 100 or more wickets over a 15-Test period - Imran Khan and Shane Warne are the others. Imran scored 628 runs and took 102 wickets between December 1980 and January 1983, while Warne scored 517 runs and took 100 wickets between November 2001 and March 2004. Ashwin has scored 503 runs and taken 101 wickets in his last 15 Tests.PERCENTAGE OF TEAM WICKETS IN WINS In the 21 Test wins that Ashwin has been a part of, he has taken 151 wickets out of a team total of 419, which means he has taken 36% of the teams wickets. Among all bowlers who have taken at least 100 wickets in wins, only four have taken a higher percentage of their teams wickets.Highest percentage of team wickets in wins A SERIES OF SERIES AWARDS Ashwin has become only the third player to win four successive Man-of-the-Series awards - he did so against Sri Lanka, South Africa, West Indies and New Zealand. Only Marshall and Imran have ever done this before. Marshall won four in a row between 1984 and 1986, while Imran won four awards between 1986 and 1988, with three of his four series being away ones - in India, England and the West Indies. Incidentally, both Marshall and Imran won the series awards in the Pakistan-West Indies series in 1986 - it was the last of Marshalls sequence of four, and the first of four in a row for Imran.Ashwin has already won four in a row, and with home series against England and Australia to follow, he could well become the first to win five or even six in a row if he continues his irresistible form.
