LAWRENCE, Kan. -- The Baylor engine took a while to warm up. There was some sputtering, a little backfire from the exhaust pipes. It coughed and chugged and lurched through two offensive series. On the third, the Bears were back to humming like a sports car. Bryce Petty threw for 430 yards and three touchdowns in fewer than three quarters, Lache Seastrunk ran for 109 yards and a score and the sixth-ranked Bears eventually routed Kansas 59-14 Saturday night for their school-record 11th straight win. "We had to get in synch," explained Seastrunk, who also played little more than a half. "When you turn on a car, sometimes a car might turn on the first time. We kind of stalled out a little bit, like youre learning to drive a stick. But we got going." Once they got going, the Jayhawks were merely a speed bump. The Bears (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) piled up 500 yards of offence in taking a 38-0 lead by halftime, and then relaxed as coach Art Briles pulled many of his starters in the third quarter. The nations highest-scoring offence still finished with 743 yards, and eight of its nine scoring drives took fewer than 2 minutes. Four different Baylor players had touchdown runs -- Petty among them -- while Tevin Reese hauled in two of his three TD tosses. "It took us a while to get out there, but once we did, we settled down and played our game, and thats whats important," Petty said. "When we hone in on what we do, theres not a team in the country that can stop us, and Im very confident of that." Jake Heaps was held to just 85 yards passing and a touchdown for Kansas (2-5, 0-4), which has now lost 25 consecutive Big 12 games. He split time with freshman Montell Cozart, who was 4 of 14 for 69 yards and also lost a fumble that led to one of Baylors touchdowns. Brandon Bourbon had a 22-yard touchdown run for the Jayhawks. The Bears have scored at least 50 points six times in seven games, and the result has been the programs first 7-0 start since 1980. The once-downtrodden school hasnt lost since Nov. 10, 2012, at Oklahoma -- the same high-profile program thats next up for Baylor on Nov. 7. "We just wanted to get this win tonight, and then we know we have OU coming up in 10 or 11 games," Briles said. "Its like we talk about every week, its a new season." The Bears struggled on their first two series, punting each time, and a paltry crowd bundled up against the chilly autumn air had reason to hope for a monumental upset. Baylor put an end to that with four brutally efficient drives. Petty started the scoring rush when he threw a 62-yard strike to Reese. After the Jayhawks went three-and-out, Seastrunk got loose on a hip-swiveling scamper over the right side that turned into a 29-yard touchdown run. Kansas went three-and-out again, and Glasco Martin capped an 82-yard drive with a TD run. Petty finished off the scoring burst with a TD run of his own. In a span of roughly 12 minutes, the Bears had built a 28-0 lead. Baylor tacked on a field goal later in the second quarter, and a 25-yard touchdown pass from Petty to Reese with 2 minutes remaining made it 38-0 at the break. It also sent the few fans that were left in the stands scattering for the exits. "Theyre very dynamic," Kansas defensive tackle Keon Stowers said. "What their receivers do, they run routes according to your set as a defensive back. So if youre set outside, theyre going to run an inside route, even if it wasnt called before that. They do a really good job." That was what happened early in the second half, when Corey Coleman ran down the sideline and caught Pettys 49-yard pass for another touchdown. That was enough for Briles to start giving his vast collection of stars the rest of the night off. Bourbons touchdown run off an option pitch got Kansas within 45-7, but Shock Linwood matched him with a TD run for Baylor. Rodriguez Coleman hauled in a 30-yard TD strike from Heaps later in the fourth quarter, only for Linwood to add a 68-yard touchdown run to cap the scoring. "When we can play that way as a football team, were going to be a tough out," Briles said. "Were playing really, really good defence, weve got guys that are very explosive offensively and we have a great offensive line. Were a tough football team."

SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Boston Bruins domination of the Florida Panthers continued. Well, the Bruins are beating just about everyone lately. Torey Krug scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and the Bruins won their season-high fifth straight with a 5-2 victory over the Panthers on Sunday. Chad Johnson made 20 saves, and Chris Kelly, Jarome Iginla, Patrice Bergeron and Andrej Meszaros also scored for Boston. Bergeron also had two assists for the Bruins, who are 7-0-3 during a 10-game stretch on the road, their longest such point streak since 2010-11. The Bruins have taken 14 of 16 from the Panthers, including eight straight by a combined 33-10 score. Boston is now in first place in the Eastern Conference. "Weve worked hard to get ourselves back at the top of the conference," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "By the looks of it, itll probably be a battle right until the end." Jimmy Hayes scored both goals for Florida, and Roberto Luongo stopped 37 shots. The Bruins broke a 1-1 tie on Krugs goal with 12:22 left the third. Krug took a pass from Brad Marchand in the slot and backhanded it past Luongo. "It seemed like their guys were a little bit tired and I thought I could jump up and beat a couple of guys," Krug said. "March made an unbelievable play and I was lucky enough to put it in." Three goals were scored in a span of 52 seconds later in the third, two by Boston. The Bruins stretched their lead to 3-1 on Bergerons goal with 6 seconds left on a power play. His one-timer went between Luongos pads at 11:21. "It was a big game for us. I think we played a solid road game and we came out with the two points," Bergeron said. The Panthers closed to 3-2 when Hayes found a loose puck in front and jammed in between Johnsons pads for his second goal at 11:42 for his first career multigoal game. The Bruins made it 4-2 on Iginlas goal 31 seconds later when his wrist shot went over Luongos shoulder at 12:13 for his 20th of the season and 550th career goal. Iginla moved into sole possession of 26th on the NHLs career goals list. Longtime Bruins forward John Bucyk is 25th.dddddddddddd Kelly scored an empty-netter with 1:02 left. The Bruins beat the Panthers for the second time in six days, including a 4-1 loss on Tuesday in Boston. "Theyre still a benchmark," Panthers coach Peter Horachek said. "Theyre still the team that we have to gauge ourselves by. Thats a message to our guys, thats where we need to be." The Bruins tied it at 1 on a power-play goal by Meszaros. His slap shot from above the right circle got past Luongo at 9:58. It was the first goal Luongo gave up in nearly 90 minutes since rejoining the Panthers for Fridays 2-0 win against Buffalo. Meszaros made his Bruins debut after being acquired from Philadelphia last Wednesday. "It was good to go out there and play. Overall, I felt pretty good and the two points is huge," Meszaros said. The Panthers took a 1-0 lead on Hayes first goal at the 7-minute mark of the second. Nick Bjugstad shot from the right side and Johnson made the block, but Hayes grabbed the rebound and wristed it into the open net on the stick side. The Bruins went after Luongo from the start. He faced 27 shots in the first two periods, with at least three hitting the post, including a deflection off the skate of Panthers defenceman Brian Campbell early in the second that glanced off the iron. "You have to give (the Bruins) credit," Luongo said. "They came out hard in the third and they created some scoring chances. I would have liked to have made a few more saves there at least to keep it a one-goal game, but they have some good players there who can make some plays. "Things kind of fell apart a little bit in the third." NOTES: Bruins F Daniel Paille left with an upper-body injury after being hit by Ed Jovanovski along the boards at 3:06 of the first and did not return. ... Corey Potter, claimed off waivers by Boston from Edmonton on Wednesday, was a healthy scratch. ... Bjugstad has five points the past six games for the Panthers. ...
