HOUSTON - The Houston Texans are nearing a deal to trade quarterback Matt Schaub to the Oakland Raiders, two people familiar with the negotiations said Friday. The people spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet complete. Schaub must still pass a physical in order to finalize the trade. ESPN first reported the trade and said the Raiders would give up a late-round pick in this years draft for Schaub. Schaub was Houstons starter from 2007 until last season, when he was benched in favour of Case Keenum after a terrible start to the year. The Texans were expected to contend for a Super Bowl last season, but instead became the NFLs worst team, sinking to 2-14, which tied the worst record in franchise history. It was clear after last season that Schaub didnt have a future in Houston, but his departure looked to be imminent on Thursday night when the Texans signed veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Houston also has the first overall pick in this years draft, which includes top quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater, Blake Bortles and Johnny Manziel. The pending acquisition of Schaub is the latest attempt by general manager Reggie McKenzie to find a quarterback to lead the Raiders back into relevance after 11 straight years without a winning record or playoff berth. Since dumping Carson Palmer last spring, McKenzie traded a 2014 fifth-round pick for Matt Flynn before cutting him early last season; spent a fourth-rounder last year on Tyler Wilson before losing him off the practice squad to Tennessee; and signed Matt McGloin as an undrafted free agent. McGloin showed flashes in his six starts last season but is viewed more as a potential backup than a starter. The only other quarterbacks on Oaklands roster are Terrelle Pryor, whose running style does not fit what the coaching staff wants to do offensively, and veteran Trent Edwards, who was signed earlier this off-season. The move puts less pressure on Oakland to use a high draft pick on a quarterback in May. The Raiders pick fifth overall in the draft but could use that selection to fill another hole. With loads of salary cap room to start the league year, the Raiders have targeted veterans with only one of their acquisitions younger than 29. That appears to be part of an effort to turn the team around quickly. McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen oversaw back-to-back four-win seasons since arriving in Oakland and owner Mark Davis is running out of patience with this regime. They are hoping last year was an aberration for Schaub. While the Texans had plenty of problems, Schaubs poor play was perhaps the biggest. The Texans won their first two games before Schaub began to struggle and he threw six interceptions, three of which were returned for touchdowns in the next three games. He started the sixth game of the season and left with an injury before being replaced in the starting lineup by Keenum, an undrafted free agent who spent 2012 on the practice squad. Keenum was injured late in the season, forcing Houston to go back to Schaub for the last two games. He didnt fare any better than he had before he was benched and he threw four interceptions combined in the last two games as Houston wrapped up the season with a 14-game skid. The 32-year-old is a two-time Pro Bowler, who last made the game in 2012. He had been solid for the Texans since taking over the job after being traded from Atlanta in 2007, but his best seasons came in 2009 and 2012 when he started each game. In 2009, he led the NFL in yards passing (4,770), completions (396) and attempts (583) and was fifth in touchdown passes (29). In 2012, he threw for 4,008 yards with 22 touchdowns and 12 interceptions to help Houston to its second straight AFC South title. He spent three seasons with the Falcons as Michael Vicks backup before joining the Texans, and has thrown for more than 24,000 yards with 130 touchdowns in his 10-year career.

Bryce Petty set a career high with 32 completions and finished with 387 passing yards and one touchdown for the Bears (8-1, 5-1 Big 12), who scored the final 45 points en route to posting the programs first-ever win in 12 trips to Norman. The coolest part about it is that, to me, its just the tip of the iceberg for this team. It really is, said Petty. People still say, You are still Baylor. Yeah, we are Baylor. This is different. This isnt the same team as the 90s or the 80s. (People) are going to have to get that out of (their) minds. We love being part of this. We love being the underdog. We play so much better when we are mad and upset. We cant ever be happy, cant ever be satisfied. Coach (Art) Briles tells us that all the time. When we come out determined and ready to rock n roll its going to be a good day for us. Corey Coleman caught 15 passes for 224 yards, the second-highest totals in a game in Baylor history, and scored two touchdowns. Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight completed 12-of-27 passes for 146 yards with two touchdowns and one interception before being forced out of the game on a fourth-quarter sack. Knight was placed on a backboard and pointed to the sky as he was being removed on a cart. Alex Ross amassed 71 yards on six carries for Oklahoma (6-3, 3-3), which had produced at least 30 points in 12 straight games. Im not too sure if we look at it as an embarrassing loss as a team bbecause Baylor is a good team and we have to give them credit where its due, said Oklahoma receiver Michiah Quick.dddddddddddd We just have to shut everyone out and keep it positive in the locker room and come back hard on Monday. Baylors Chris Callahan kicked a 34-yard field goal to open the scoring, but Oklahoma built a 14-3 lead as Knight threw touchdown passes of eight and nine yards to Quick and Durron Neal on consecutive possessions later in the first quarter. The Bears fought back with a 21-point second quarter. Petty hooked up with Coleman for a 33-yard touchdown and Chafin scored on a plunge after Bryce Hager returned a Knight interception to Oklahoma 1. The Sooners, now trailing 17-14, looked to tie the game, but Michael Hunnicutt missed a 31-yard field goal try wide right. Oklahoma was then flagged for roughing the kicker on a punt, giving the Bears a fresh set of downs. Petty later converted a 4th-and-4 from the Oklahoma 33 with a 10-yard pass to Jay Lee, and Chafin extended Baylors lead to 24-14 with a 2-yard TD run. The Bears marched down the field with ease on each of their first two drives in the third quarter. Coleman had a 5-yard touchdown run and Linwood scored on a 3-yard run. In the fourth quarter, Callahan made a 24-yard field goal and Linwood reached the end zone on a 15-yard run. Game Notes Baylor had been 0-11 on the road vs. AP Top-25 teams under Briles ...
