ARLINGTON, Texas -- The big offensive numbers come so easy for No. 4 Baylor. What is most impressive to Bears coach Art Briles is how his team, without several key offensive players, responded after quickly facing its first double-digit deficit of the season. Baylor is still undefeated, with a chance to move into the top four of the BCS standings, after Bryce Petty again accounted for five touchdowns in a 63-34 victory Saturday night over Texas Tech. "When youre down 14-0, youre down 20-7, and then you withstand that surge against a good team and come back and finish the way we finished as a team, and to me, thats impressive," Briles said. "That shows you have a tough football team, a tough-minded football team thats mature and believes in whats happening inside the locker room." Petty threw three TD passes and ran for two scores for the second game in a row. His 31-yard pass to Antwan Goodley for a 31-yard score with 4 seconds in the first quarter made it 21-20, putting Baylor (9-0, 6-0 Big 12) ahead to stay. Goodleys Big 12-best 11th TD catch came immediately after K.J. Morton intercepted a pass. The Bears stretched their school-record winning streak to 13 games. They are the outright Big 12 leader after No. 23 Texas absorbed its first conference loss earlier in the day, and are one of six undefeated FBS teams. "Tonight showed us a lot. Were a resilient team," said Petty, who was 17-of-31 passing for 335 yards. "I think theres a lot of talent involved, but we have a lot of guys that work hard. And thats what youve got to have. Its more than just talent. Youve got to have those guys that are going to push through a little adversity." Texas Tech (7-4, 4-4), which scored touchdowns on its first three drives and led 14-0 only 8 minutes into the game, lost its fourth straight since a 7-0 start for first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury. "We knew that they were going to score. They scored on everybody," Kingsbury said. "Its a great offence, it really is. ... The quarterback is really good and receivers everywhere. We knew theyd score. We just had to limit it and limit our mistakes, and we didnt do that." Kingsbury was the starting quarterback at Texas Tech when Briles was an assistant coach there from 2000-02. Baylor played its first game since Briles this week got a new 10-year contract through the 2023 season. The coach is in his sixth season with the Bears, who had 12 consecutive losing seasons since the inception of the Big 12 when he arrived. Next week, the Bears play at No. 12 Oklahoma State (9-1, 6-1), which won 38-13 at Texas hours earlier. Baylor was fifth in the BCS standings last week, behind Stanford -- which lost for the second time this season, 20-17 to Southern California on Saturday night. The Bears played without their top two running backs, Big 12 rushing leader Lache Seastrunk (groin) and Glasco Martin (knee), and 103-yard-a-game receiver Tevin Reese. All got banged up in the Bears 41-12 win over Oklahoma nine nights earlier, Reese the most serious with a dislocated right wrist that required surgery and will force him to miss at least the rest of the regular season. And they still surpassed their FBS-best scoring average of 61 points that was already on pace to break a major college scoring record. They had 675 total yards, only 11 below their nations best average. Shock Linwood, effectively the Bears third-string running back, ran 29 times for 187 yards and a touchdown while Devin Chafin, another redshirt freshman, had 11 carries for 100 yards and two TDs. Levi Norwood had TD catches of 40 and 58 yards, and also returned a punt 58 yards for a score that cut the gap to 20-14. Linwood had 182 yards after coming in against Oklahoma and was the Big 12 player of the week. "I believe it gave me confidence for me to go out there and perform like I did," Linwood said. Baker Mayfield, Techs starting quarterback for the first time since the fifth game, completed 28 of 51 passes for 314 yards and four touchdowns. His only pick came when he threw a pass right into the chest of the leaping Morton. Bears kicker Aaron Jones became the NCAA career leader for extra points with nine more, pushing his career mark to 260. The previous record was the 253 by Art Carmody of Louisville from 2004-07. Standout tight end Jace Amaro had touchdown catches on the Red Raiders first two drives. There was a 6-yard TD on a halfback pass from Kenny Williams on the 15th play of a game-opening 75-yard drive before Amaro got wide open for a 20-yard score from Mayfield the next time they had the ball. Amaro took a crushing hit from Ahmad Dixon while holding on for an 18-yard catch to the 4, two plays before Mayfields 3-yard TD to Jakeem Grant with 4:28 left in the first half got the Red Raiders within 28-27.

The Chicago Bulls are getting along just as well despite the day-to-day uncertain status of their star point guard. Toronto looks to start 6-0 at home for the first time Thursday night as it faces Chicago, which is likely to have Derrick Rose in the lineup for a second consecutive contest. The Raptors (7-1) have won five straight since falling at Miami on Nov. 2, though two of those required impressive comebacks. They beat Oklahoma City, Washington and Philadelphia by double digits, but came from 16 down in a three-point win over Boston on Nov. 5 and had to rally from 11 points down in the fourth quarter to beat Orlando 104-100 on Tuesday. All five starters were on the bench when Toronto began the fourth on an 11-0 run. Coach Dwane Casey wasnt impressed with the overall performance despite the Raptors improving to 5-0 at home for the first time since 2003-04. Where we want to go as a team, we cant be playing like that, Casey said. Orlando outplayed us for three quarters. The Raptors bench outscored Orlandos 36-14. It was a test of our character and we got the win, reserve guard Greivis Vasquez said. It wasnt pretty, stars didnt play the way we wanted them to play, but we got the second unit playing the right way. The Bulls supporting cast has had to step up at times as welll with Rose being bothered by two sprained ankles that have limited him to half of the clubs eight games.dddddddddddd Chicago (6-2) has gone 3-1 without Rose, but he was in the lineup Monday and scored 24 points in a season-high 32 minutes of a 102-91 win over Detroit. Rose said in an interview this week that his decision to sit out games has to do with thinking of his future and not just this season. Hes been a game-time decision since suffering his ankle injuries against Cleveland on Oct. 31. Derricks a (heck) of a player, said Joakim Noah, who had 13 points, 14 rebounds and six assists. To have your best player on the court, floor general, means a lot. When hes out on the court, he demands so much attention it opens up a lot of easy opportunities for everyone else. Coach Tom Thibodeau for the first time this season was able to use his preferred starting lineup of Rose, Noah, Jimmy Butler, Pau Gasol and Mike Dunleavy. It was great to have everyone, a full roster on the floor, available and healthy, Gasol said. Now weve just got to keep it that way. Its great to have (Rose) on the floor. (Hes a) difference maker, gets to the hole. Hes a key player for us. Rose hasnt played in any of the Bulls last nine meetings with Toronto. The Raptors had won four of the previous five before Chicago won 94-92 on the road Feb. 19 while overcoming 32 from DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan had 69 points in Torontos two losses to the Bulls last season and just 26 in two wins. ' ' '
