WACO, Texas -- Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty was able to smile even after talking about what an ugly game it was for the Bears offence. Maybe now people will start to believe the fifth-ranked Bears are really good. Theyre still undefeated after a 41-12 victory over 12th-ranked Oklahoma on Thursday night in their first big test of the season. "Were just talented, man. Were committed. I think thats all you can say about it," Petty said. "Its a very special team." Baylor (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) scored twice in the final minute before halftime and stretched its school-record winning streak to 12 games since a loss at Oklahoma last November. The Bears are 8-0 for the first time. Even though Baylor came in leading the nation in scoring (64 points per game) and total offence (718 yards per game) -- and was outscoring opponents by an average margin of 48 points -- many questioned how good the Bears were after getting into November without playing a ranked opponent. They have now, and they responded with an impressive victory against a team that used to routinely overwhelm them. And they did it without scoring a touchdown in the first quarter for the first time during their winning streak. "We didnt really feel like us the first quarter and a half of the game, but that has a lot to do with who youre playing," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "We were playing a team with good tradition, and tradition doesnt die easily." Petty threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more, and third-string running back Shock Linwood ran for 182 yards. Oklahoma (7-2, 4-2) has a 21-2 lead in the series, but both losses have come in its last two trips to Floyd Casey Stadium for prime-time games. "Everyone talks about their offence, which is really good," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "But I knew that their defence is really good with all the seniors that they have." Running backs Lache Seastrunk and Glasco Martin got banged up in the game, so Linwood ran 23 times. The Bears also were missing top receiver Tevin Reese, who was without a catch before dislocating his right wrist. He spent the second half on the sideline with his arm in a sling, and Briles said afterward he hopes Reese could be back for a bowl game. "To come out with the win even though it was ugly was good for us," Petty said. Baylor trailed 5-3 after a strange sequence that started at the end of the first quarter when the Bears were penalized 38 yards on one play, and had a players ejection overturned before he made a touchdown-saving play. After Petty scored on a 1-yard keeper with a minute to go in the first half, Oklahoma gave the ball right back when Blake Bell threw an interception right into the arms of linebacker Eddie Lackey at the Sooners 38. Petty ran 14 yards on third-and-10 before a double-pump throw to Antwan Goodley, whose Big 12-leading ninth TD catch was a spectacular grab with both arms fully extended. He held on for a 24-yard play that put the Bears up 24-5 at halftime. "I dont want to say we got tired, but you could tell that stuff was taking a toll on us because we kept going back out there. It showed in our play when we went back out there on the field," Sooners linebacker Frank Shannon said. "It was real frustrating, but were a team so weve got to put that behind us." Goodley made it 10 touchdown receptions he had a 25-yard catch with 9 minutes left in the game. He finished with six catches for 80 yards. Petty completed 13 of 26 passes for a season-low 204 yards. He ran 16 times for 45 yards. Bell finished 15-of-35 passing for 150 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Oklahoma had 237 total yards. The Bears are 5-0 at home against Top 25 teams since the start of the 2011 season. That includes a 45-38 win over the Sooners two years ago in a game that likely clinched the Heisman Trophy for Robert Griffin III, and 52-24 last November over Kansas State, which arrived in Waco as the No. 1 team in the BCS standings. Baylor got penalized 38 yards on one play late in the first quarter, including a targeting penalty and two flags for unsportsmanlike conduct, setting up Oklahoma at the 7. The Sooners failed to score when Bell was tackled for a 1-yard loss on fourth-and-goal from the 1 by cornerback K.J. Morton, who had been called for targeting only a few plays earlier. Morton was flagged after a vicious hit on Sterling Shepard that knocked the ball loose and laid out the receiver. Officials reviewed the play and determined it was a shoulder-to-shoulder hit, overturning Mortons ejection and keeping him in the game. But the penalty still stood, and there was extra yardage tacked on for the calls against cornerback Ahmad Dixon for unnecessary roughness and then taking his helmet off while on the field. "I was amped up at the beginning of the game," Dixon said. Two plays after Bell was stopped on fourth down, Petty was sacked in the end zone by Dominique Alexander for a safety. Jalen Saunders then returned the free kick 55 yards to the Baylor 12, though the Sooners had to settle for Michael Hunnicutts 22-yard field goal. Baylor went ahead to stay wen Petty ran 5 yards for a score to make it 10-5, a drive that started with Linwood gaining 20 yards on his first carry. Oklahoma finally got in the end zone when Bell threw a 10-yard TD pass to Roy Finch on a fourth-and-3 play with 3:20 left in the third quarter. "Defensively, I thought we were extremely potent all through the game," Briles said. Cito Gaston Braves Jersey .

We cant expect to win when we have three turnovers, Newton said after his first career playoff win.The Panthers will face the Seahawks in the NFC divisional playoffs. Carolina lost to Seattle in each of the past three seasons by a total of 13 points, including a 13-9 defeat on Oct. 26 in Charlotte. All three of those losses were in Charlotte.Coach Ron Rivera called Seattle one of the toughest places in the NFL to play in a statement released through the team on Sunday night.You are playing a great team in front of a loud crowd, Rivera said. ... Playing on the road late in the season at New Orleans and Atlanta should help us because they were basically playoff games for us. Well just have to deal with it. They are a good team wherever you play them.Rivera also said that rookie wide receiver Philly Brown had an MRI on his left shoulder and his status for Seattle is day to day.Brown injured the shoulder against Arizona in the first half and did not return. He was a late-season addition to the starting lineup and provided the Panthers with some much-needed speed and a legitimate deep threat.Newton is 1-1 as a starting quarterback in the playoffs, but has never started a post-season game on the road.He praised his defences effort after the game, but didnt appear too thrilled with the overall performance of the team.The Panthers jumped to a 10-0 lead, but a fumble by returner Brenton Bersin and an interception by Newton — a play in whicch wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery ran the wrong route — led to two Arizona touchdowns, giving the Cardinals a 14-13 lead at halftime.ddddddddddddWithout finger pointing, it cant happen, Newton said.Carolina players said it was frustrating to be down by one in the locker room knowing they had outgained Arizona 208-65.We started out fast on both sides of the ball and on special teams, but it kind of fizzled in the (middle of the game), Newton said. That fizzle cant happen if we expect to do great things.Newton also had a fumble early in the fourth quarter with the Panthers up 27-14, giving the Cardinals the ball at the Carolina 8 with a chance to get back in the game. But All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly bailed him out by intercepting Lindley near the goal line on the next play.We have to play better than we have, Rivera said. We gave them an opportunity to stay in the game. ... We just have to be smarter than some of the things we did out there. We have to protect the football. Its a very valuable thing.Kuechly finished with 10 tackles, drawing praise from tight end Greg Olsen.I know J.J. Watt is a great player, hes phenomenal, but you cant find a guy who impacts the game on defence like Luke, Olsen said after the game. The run game, the pass game, covering running backs. ... I mean the guy is unbelievable. Luke is the best defensive player I have ever played with. (Brian) Urlacher was like that ... a similar, dynamic kind of player, but Luke is that good already. Hes phenomenal.The Panthers were 3-8-1 at one point in the season, but managed to fight back and win the NFC South to land a home playoff game. Despite their record, Newton said the Panthers arent satisfied after their first post-season win in nine years.We have a long way to go, Newton said. And were anticipating travelling and getting another big win next week.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
