WACO, Texas -- Undefeated Baylor still faces a long, tough road -- both on and off the field.While the eighth-ranked Bears (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) are still without a loss halfway through their season under acting head coach Jim Grobe, they have the toughest part of their schedule left to play.Away from the games, the university has multiple issues still simmering in the aftermath of claims the school mishandled sexual assault cases for years. The school faces four civil lawsuits and is now under a federal investigation after a complaint filed by the Patty Crawford, the schools Title IX director who recently resigned.Candidly, theres been some really good days, and theres been some hard days, said Mack Rhoades, who took over as the schools new athletic director in mid-August.Before the Bears last game, about 20 Baylor coaches and staff members almost simultaneously tweeted (hash)truthdontlie -- a hashtag previously used for former coach Art Briles -- along with a story by KWTX-TV in Waco in which Grobe contradicted a university-issued statement about his role in the dismissal of a junior college transfer.While acknowledging some obstacles and hurdles for the program, Rhoades said Grobe and his assistants are focused on the players.Theyre focused in and locked in about coaching our kids, about coaching our 107 student-athletes and making sure theyre in the best position to be successful on the field, Rhoades said. But heres what I think is even more important, theyve also done a great job of making sure our kids are doing the right things off the field as well.All the Baylor assistants, including Briles son and son-in-law, were retained by Grobe after the two-time Big 12 champion head coach lost his job in May following the release of a 13-page report that stemmed from an independent review.Baylor is the only FBS team to be 6-0 for the fourth consecutive season.Were happy to be where we are right now, but I think going forward, its going to put a little more pressure on our guys, Grobe said. The lions share of the schedule now is in front of us.The only opponent Baylor has played that has a winning record was Oklahoma State, and the Cowboys had two drives in the fourth quarter end inside the 5 in a 35-24 loss in Waco. The other five teams the Bears have played so far have a combined 7-28 record, while their remaining six opponents are a combined 25-16.We have to stay focused and relentless, said Seth Russell, 14-0 as the Bears starting quarterback .Its going to be different, just because of the situation were in, heat coming on us, different things coming up, said linebacker Raaquan Davis, who had 15 solo tackles against Kansas. Everybodys got to go out and practice, everybodys got to do the right thing, everybodys got to stay on each other and be our brothers keeper, and play well.Some other things for Baylor halfway through the season:WELL RESTEDBaylor had open dates before and after its 49-7 win over Kansas on Oct. 15. To us, it just shows everybody on the team that were dangerous, cornerback Ryan Reid said. We have a bye week -- again. We get to rest -- again. So everybody else should be should be worried about Baylor -- again. So were ready.LINE SURPRISEEven with four first-time starters on the offensive line, Baylor has allowed only four sacks and is the Big 12s top rushing team (283 yards per game). Really, really like our progress on the offensive line, Grobe said.RECORD RUSHERShock Linwood this season became Baylors career leader in rushing yards (3,962) and touchdowns (36).ROAD TRIPSThe Bears play only two of their last six games (TCU and Kansas State) in their campus stadium. They play at Texas next Saturday, and still have trips to Oklahoma and West Virginia, along with their annual game in the Dallas Cowboys NFL stadium against Texas Tech.FOURTH AND NONEBaylor is the only FBS team that that hasnt allowed a point in the fourth quarter. The Bears have outscored their opponents 45-0 in the fourth quarter, including a 17-point comeback to win 45-42 at Iowa State on a game-ending field goal.--AP College football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Matthew Tkachuk Jersey . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside.

NEW YORK -- The NFL sent a memo to the 32 teams to clarify what is valid identification after a man with a new District of Columbia drivers license was initially denied purchasing alcohol at a stadium.A vendor at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, did not recognize the license and turned away Aninda Maitra, thinking the ID was from the country of Colombia. The vendor asked for Maitras passport.Maitra, 36, told the Washington Post he eventually got his beer, but Eleanor Holmes Norton, a delegate to the House of Representatives from the District, wrote to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about the incident.Last week, the NFL responded to Norton, saying it has sent photos of the old and new DC drivers licenses to the clubs and directed them to share this information with their concession management teams.As you know, our stadium vendors are chargeed with the difficult task of combatting fraudulent forms of identification, the NFL said in its letter, signed by Jocelyn Moore, senior vice president of public policy and government affairs.ddddddddddddThey undergo specific training aimed at preventing the sale of alcohol to minors. However, a patron of legal age, with a valid photo identification, should not be denied on that basis.A spokeswoman for MetLife Stadium referred The Associated Press to the NFLs letter.Maitra told the Post he is pleased with the NFLs response.Its a good step that they are taking to get the new ID out there and get people aware that Washington and District of Columbia are the same thing, he said with a chuckle, and that, yes, its on American soil.
