TD-scoring Baylor WR Coleman making case as best player

WACO, Texas (AP) Corey Coleman leaps after catching a short pass near the sideline, and the defender diving at him whiffs while tumbling to the ground. Baylor's 5-foot-11 receiver then lands on his feet, dodges another flailing defensive back with a stutter-step slide and gains 30 yards before slipping out of bounds.

Even when not adding to his FBS-leading and school-record 16 touchdown catches, Coleman proves hard to tackle while creating more highlights for the second-ranked Bears.

''He's a hard matchup, because he's very explosive and he's very passionate and he's very talented,'' Baylor coach Art Briles said.
