HOUSTON -- Rice had some fun at Baylors expense at halftime. The Bears then toyed with the Owls in the second half.Seth Russell threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns and No. 21 Baylor shrugged off a slow start to beat Rice 38-10 on Friday night after the Rice band mocked the Bears at halftime.The band formed a Roman numeral IX on the field to represent Title IX, the federal law Baylor is accused of violating in sexual assault scandal, and a shifted to a star formation in reference to Ken Starr, the former Baylor president was demoted and eventually resigned amid the scandal.Russell was 22 of 38 to help the Bears win their 19th straight regular-season nonconference game and improve to 3-0 for the sixth straight season, a program first.Weve preached start fast, and we havent done that the past three games, Russell said. Its pretty disappointing. Its just something that we can grow on. Its an aspect of the game we need to get better at.KD Cannon caught nine passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns. Cannon cited the Bears youth as a reason for the slow starts.Just being young and not knowing what to do, Cannon said. Its something we have to get better at.Rice (0-3) led 3-0 after the first quarter before JaMychal Hasty scored on a 16-yard run, and Cannon caught a 10-yard pass from Russell to put the Bears up 14-3 midway through the second quarter.We arent very consistent right now, Baylor interim coach Jim Grobe said. Thats our problem. Its obvious we have some talent, and I think we can be a good football team, but right now we are just so inconsistent.The Owls closed to 14-10 with 3 minutes left before halftime, but that would be as close as they would get.Darik Dillard ran for 124 yards on 14 carries for the Owls. Emmanuel Esukpa had Rices lone touchdown.The Owls fell to 0-3 for the second time in three seasons.Standing up here, were 0-3, but all our goals are still intact, Rice coach David Bailiff said. If we have that same type of effort, well keep growing those young ones up, and we ought to be in great shape.KEY TAKEAWAYSBAYLOR: The Bears were able to gain yards, but struggled to put points on the board early. Russell had a pass intercepted, and Chris Callahan missed field goals from 47 and 37 yards. The defense played well, holding the Owls to 265 yards.RICE: The Owls hung with Baylor and kept it a two-score game until 45 seconds left in the third quarter. Rice still struggled defensively as the Bears put up 638 yards. The Owls offense was able to run well, but could not get anything going passing, gaining just 31 passing yards.POLL IMPLICATIONSBAYLOR: The Bears should at least remain where they are but could move up a couple spots with the 28-point win. Baylors stats were impressive, but they should have scored more. Nonetheless, they earned a win on the road by a comfortable margin.BRILES MAKES AN APPEARANCEFormer Baylor head coach Art Briles was in the stands for the game. Fired at the end of May for Baylors sexual assault scandal, Briles sat behind the Baylor bench about 20 rows up from the field. Briles son, Kendal, is still the Bears offensive coordinator.I did not know he was here, Russell said. I wish I had seen him. Hes a guy thats what I came here for. I came here for coach Briles. Hes a top notch guy. A lot of bad things are being said about him now, but I know in my heart that hes one of the best guys Ive ever been around.Hes a father figure. For sure, he does the right things when he needs to. He just got caught up in the wrong situation. Hes going to support us any way he can. I love him to death. Hes a great coach and a great guy.SHOCK BREAKS RECORDRB Shock Linwood had 57 rushing yards to set a new school record with 3.676 yards over his career. Walter Abercrombie had 3.665 yards from 1978-81.Its just something I can look back on and say I am one of the legends and one of the all-time leading rushers, Linwood said.UP NEXTBAYLOR: The Bears start Big 12 play against Oklahoma State in Waco on Sept. 24.RICE: The Owls will look for their first win of the season as they play their second Conference USA game against North Texas on Sept. 24.

Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels has been named the American League MVP.The announcement was made on MLB Network after voting from members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts finished second, and Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was third.Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be the best player in everything I did, didnt matter what sport, Trout said in an ESPN interview after being named MVP. But obviously, you work hard just to be in the conversation.There are a lot of great players across the country, across the world, that youre playing against each and every day. [You] put your mindset to that, just to work hard and be the best.At just 25 years old, Trout now has his second MVP award -- he won his first in 2014. Trout is the sixth player to win two MVPs before the age of 26, according to Elias. Trout also has never finished lower than second in AL MVP voting in his five full years in the majors.A five-time All-Star, Trout was one of the few bright spots for an Angels team that finished 21 games out of first place in the AL West.The Los Angeles center fielder led the majors in runs scored (123), walks (116), on-base percentage (.441) and WAR ((10.dddddddddddd6). He finished second in the AL in OPS (.991) and tied for second in steals (30).Betts was tied with teammate Dustin Pedroia for second in the AL in batting average (.318), ranked second in hits (214), tied for third in doubles (42) and was fourth in RBIs (113). He finished second in the majors in WAR (9.6) behind Trout.Altuve led the AL in both batting average (.338) and hits (216), while he tied for second in steals (30), was third in WAR (7.7), tied for third in doubles (42) and ranked fifth in OPS (.928).Trout received 19 first-place votes and 356 points, while the runner-up Betts received 311 points. Retiring Red Sox slugger David Ortiz got one first-place vote to finish sixth in his final year in the majors.A well-deserved honor for a player that puts his name in the MVP conversation year in and year out, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of Trout in a release. Mike is the consummate team player and deserves every accolade he receives on the field just as he should off of it for the person he is.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
