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 Womens Saucony Shadow 5000 OG Suede Cavity PackMint Green White .

BEREA, Ohio -- The winless Cleveland Browns were perceived to be sellers, not buyers, on the eve of the NFLs trade deadline. They proved that theory wrong Monday.Cleveland acquired Pro Bowl linebacker Jamie Collins from the Patriots in exchange for a conditional third-round draft choice, bolstering a defense that has allowed the most yards in the league.We traded for a great player, and that says a lot about our front office, Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor said. When I heard we got Jamie Collins, I was so excited and so ecstatic. His athleticism and versatility are tremendous, and hes experienced.We got better today. The future aint what it used to be.The 6-foot-3, 250-pounder was a second-round selection by New England in 2013. He is earning $485,928 in the final year of his rookie contract, but negotiations for a new pact had stalled.Collins led the Patriots in tackles in each of the last two seasons, starting every defensive snap in their Super Bowl 49 victory. He has 285 tackles, 10 1/2 sacks and five interceptions in 50 career games, making him Clevelands most accomplished linebacker.Pryor and Collins, both 27-year-old pending unrestricted free agents, will receive huge raises if they hit the open market, but the Browns have the ability to prevent that with their NFL-high $47.6 million in salary cap room. They are only permitted to use the franchise tag on one player.I dont think we want to try Collins out, I think we would love to keep him, Cleveland coach Hue Jackson said. We know what he is, we know what he brings to the table, and I dont think we would have done this if we didnt think there was an opportunity to move forward with him.Collins is expected to join the team Tuesday, the leagues trade deadline. New England could wind up with a 2017 third-rounder or a 2018 fourth-round choice in thhe deal, depending on if he re-signs with the Browns.ddddddddddddNine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas and two-time former Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden have been mentioned as possible trade bait by Cleveland, but neither player said they expect to be dealt.Collins has 43 tackles, two interceptions and one sack in seven games this season, sitting out one contest with a hip injury. The Southern Mississippi product was an Associated Press second team All-Pro in 2015, when he was chosen for his first Pro Bowl.Jackson said he was uncertain if Collins will play inside or outside linebacker Sunday, when the Browns host Dallas.This young man, I think he gets it, so there are several things he can do, said Jackson, whose squad is 0-8. Lets get him here and well see where his comfort level is and what is most important to him. We will definitely find ways to plug him in and have him be a contributing member of our defense.On Aug. 25, the Browns traded linebacker Barkevious Mingo to New England for a fifth-round pick.Game notes Rookie WR Corey Coleman (broken hand) and rookie QB Cody Kessler (concussion) have been medically cleared to practice. Coleman, the No. 15 overall pick, was hurt on Sept. 18 against Baltimore. Kessler suffered a head injury two weeks ago at Tennessee. . Jackson was noncommittal whether QB Josh McCown or Kessler would start against the Cowboys. Obviously, Josh was the starter (Sunday in a 31-28 loss to the Jets), and we have to make sure Cody is ready to go, the coach said. I will worry about that as we move through the week. Cleveland has used an NFL-high six quarterbacks, including three starters.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
