AUSTIN, Texas -- For acting head coach Jim Grobe, to some extent the real season for No. 8 Baylor is about to begin.The Bears are 6-0 for the fourth consecutive year and have played exactly one team -- Oklahoma State -- with a winning record. From here, their path to a coveted playoff spot includes a finishing stretch with games at No. 16 Oklahoma and No. 10 West Virginia. But first comes Saturdays visit to Texas.I think we have a fresh, healthy team, Grobe said. Were getting ready to go through the gauntlet.Texas (3-4, 1/3 Big 12) has lost four of its last five games, prompting speculation about third-year coach Charlie Strongs future with the Longhorns. Strong, asked whether he has received support from his bosses, said: We do have support within this program. We have to play better. Its all about us doing a better job of coaching. Its about our players playing a lot better.Texas is particularly inept on defense. The Longhorns rank 94th in yards allowed and 126th in passing efficiency defense. They further hurt themselves with lapses on special teams and by scoring just three points off nine turnovers by opponents. Texas failed to score after an interception and fumble recovery in the fourth quarter during a 24-21 loss at Kansas State last week.They tried to give us the game, Strong said.Some things to look for when the Bears and Longhorns kickoff on Saturday:BUDDING RIVALRY?Texas won 12 straight against Baylor from 1998-2009. Baylor has won four of the last six but lost 23-17 in Waco last season while using its fourth-string quarterback -- a converted wide receiver -- for the final three quarters because of injuries. Texas competed without several injured players as well. A melee broke out during the first quarter among two teams that have a developing rivalry. Texas added four freshman recruits who were released by Baylor after the schools sexual assault scandal.Honestly, Ill say its been building, Texas offensive lineman Kent Perkins said.Baylor quarterback Seth Russell does not expect a warm reception in Austin.Every away game is going to be a hostile environment just because you have fans who dont want you to win, Russell said. Weve got to block that out, and weve done a good job of that so far. With it being the Texas game, being a rivalry game, were expecting it to be a little more intense than the other games.YOUNG STAROne of the four freshmen who bolted Baylor for Texas, wide receiver Devin Duvernay, has caught touchdowns covering 63, 75 and 80 yards in the last three games.PERFECT DOWN STRETCHBaylor is the only FBS team that has not allowed a point in the fourth quarter this season. Overall, the Bears rank 11th in scoring defense, allowing 17.2 points a game.STENGTH OF SCHEDULE?Strong is 14-18 during his three seasons at Texas, including 10-12 in Big 12 games. The Longhorns three victories this season were against opponents -- Notre Dame, UTEP and Iowa State -- with a combined 5-16 record. Baylors six opponents have a combined 12-30 record and four of them have won only once this season.A BRIGHT SPOTTexas junior running back DOnta Foreman ranks third nationally with 142.5 rushing yards per game. Foreman has reached 100 yards in eight straight games, a streak that ranks second in Longhorn history to Earl Campbells 11 in a row.---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cody McLeod Jersey . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming.

Robinson finished with 17 points, all but two in the second half, and Lawson had 14 after halftime and finished with a game-high 11 assists as the Nuggets handed Dallas its first home loss in eight games this season.

Filip Forsberg Jersey .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. Rio silver medallist PV Sindhu capped her return to form by winning the China Open on Sunday. She beat Sun Yu of China 21-11, 17-21, 21-11 in the final for her first Super Series title win.Sindhu was quick off the blocks, unsettling Sun with her attacking game and racing to an 11-5 lead at the first break. Sun was caught unaware as Sindhus swift movement and solid defence helped her retrieve everything and win the game with ease in 17 minutes.Sindhu continued to impress in the second game as Sun was forced to target the sidelines of the court due to the Indians mobility. The Chinese player made a lot of errors as Sindhu led 11-7 at the changeover.But then Sun made a strong comeback. She changed her strategy by targeting Sindhu with a series of fierce body smashes that the Indian could not return. Though the players were 16-16 at one stage, it was the Chinese who pulled away and won the game.In the deciding game, Sindhu led 11-8 at the changeover. The momentum stayed with her from there on and she won the game comfortably in 23 minutes.It has been a dream for a long time to win a Superseries, Sindhu said later. After the Olympics, everyone was asking me, Whats next? It was important for me to get a Superseries title. Life changed a lot after the Olympics. People thought Ill take a long time to get back. But I worked hard. This is my first Superseries title and Im very happy.About the match, she said: The first game was very easy. I [was] playing her after two-and-a half years, shes also tall like me and were both attacking players.dddddddddddd. I lost the second game and in the third I started well and from 11-7, I maintained the lead.Sindhu, the seventh seed, had beaten sixth seed Sung Ji Hyun of South Korea 11-21, 23-21, 21-19 in the semi-final.It was such a tough match, one of my best wins, Sindhu said about that match. There were such long rallies. I was so far down in the second, but I could come back. I thought, Let me just play and see. I had made so many errors. There were so many rallies, each point was a rally. She didnt leave anything. I wasnt tired. Even though we played long rallies, we had breaks in between. Neither of us was leaving the shuttle. My jump smashes worked in the end.This is Sindhus third tournament since her silver medal finish at the Rio Olympics. She had lost in the second round at the Denmark Open and French Open.Sindhu is the third Indian to win the tournament. Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth had won the womens and mens singles title respectively in 2014. Sindhu is also only the third non-Chinese player to win the womens singles event in 30 years.This was Sindhus second appearance in a Superseries final. She had lost to Chinas Li Xuerui in the finals of the Denmark Open last year. For Sun Yu, it was her fourth consecutive loss in the final of a Superseries event this year.
