WACO, Texas (AP) Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads didn't need long to express the challenge of stopping second-ranked Baylor's big-play offense.
''I would say dang-near impossible,'' Rhoads said.
The Cyclones (2-4, 1-2 Big 12) on Saturday finish their trifecta of playing the nation's top three offenses in a three-week span. Two-time defending Big 12 champion and focused Baylor is the best of the bunch by far, piling up 720 total yards and 64 points a game with FBS passing leader Seth Russell, record-setting receiver Corey Coleman and Big 12 rushing leader Shock Linwood.
