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.

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.

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.
