Baylor 66, Kansas 7: Five things we learned

Baylor entered Saturday's game against Kansas as a 45-point favorite, among the biggest on record for a conference game. The Bears, predictably, dismantled the Jayhawks, 66-7.

Baylor scored 52 points in the first half and took its heavy, iron foot off the gas for much of the final two frames.

Here are five things we learned.

Baylor can stop scoring

Baylor can stop scoring

Baylor has scored at least 56 points in all of its games this year. It's scored 60 points eight times since the start of last season and four times already in 2015. 

Art Briles rarely takes his foot off the gas — the Bears ice games by scoring again and again, not running the ball and chewing clock.

Saturday, Baylor was kind to Kansas, scoring just 14 points and throwing 10 passes in the second half. The Jayhawks wanted this game to end — they punted twice in Baylor territory in the second half despite trailing by more than 50 points and ran the ball plenty to drain the clock.

Baylor punted once, just its 10th of the season.

Baylor has a kicker

Baylor has a kicker

Hard to believe, we know. But Baylor actually does have a kicker on its roster.

Chris Callahan had kicked 34 extra points in four games entering this week's date with Kansas, and just one field goal. Baylor had scored 256 points through four games, and just three of them came via Callahan's foot when he wasn't lining up from the two after a touchdown.

Saturday, with Baylor leading 21-7, Art Briles sent Callahan out for a 31-yard field goal on fourth-and-4 from the Kansas 14-yard line. He converted. In the fourth quarter, he missed a 31-yard try.

This might be why the Bears never kick.

Jarrett Stidham's good, too

Jarrett Stidham's good, too

You should really get to know Baylor's backup quarterback.

Junior Seth Russell came out at halftime with a 52-7 lead and Stidham continued to torch Kansas, going 9 of 10 for 117 yards and two touchdowns.

Briles has proven it really doesn't matter who's under center in his system. From Robert Griffin to Nick Florence to Bryce Petty, these QBs put up monster numbers. 

Stidham is the most highly-touted, too. He was 247Sports' No. 38 player in the class of 2015.

Corey Coleman's record pace

Corey Coleman's record pace

This goes for Baylor as a whole, but Coleman is on a torrid pace. Through five games, the 5-10 wideout has 31 catches for 678 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Troy Edwards (La. Tech) owns the single-season record for receiving touchdowns with 27, which Coleman is on pace to break. Trevor Insley (Nevada, 1999) holds the mark for receiving yards with 2,060. 

Kansas won't win a game

Kansas won't win a game

We really already knew this, and a game against one of the country's best teams did nothing to change that.

But the Jayhawks have only Big 12 games left and already lost 38-13 to Iowa State, the conference's other basement dweller. They host Texas Tech next week in what might be their best chance to get a win.
