With Seth Russell and Corey Coleman playing at a record-setting level, Baylor hasn't had much trouble meeting preseason expectations halfway through.
While they believe the remarkable start is something to savor, the second-ranked Bears remain focused on pushing hard one more time before their bye week. They'll try to extend the nation's longest home win streak Saturday when they host Iowa State.
Russell went 20 of 33 for 380 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for 160 yards and a score in last Saturday's 62-38 home win over West Virginia. He joined Robert Griffin III (2011) as the only quarterbacks in school history with 300 passing and 100 rushing yards in a game.
