WACO, Texas -- Seth Russell threw four touchdown passes in less than a half and No. 23 Baylor beat FCS team Northwestern State 55-7 on Friday night in its first game since the dismissal of coach Art Briles.Russell was the top-rated FBS passer when he suffered a season-ending neck injury in the seventh game last season. He completed 14 if 20 passes for 163 yards. The Bears led 41-0 when he threw his last pass, a 10-yard TD pass to Pooh Stricklin with 5 minutes left in the first half.Baylors offense looked very similar to what it has in recent years under Art Briles, the two-time Big 12 champion coach who lost his job in the wake of a May report from an external investigation into allegations the school mishandled complaints of sexual assault, including some against football players.Acting head coach Jim Grobe retained the rest of the coaching staff, including offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, the former coachs son.Baylor had 498 total yards, 275 rushing and 223 passing.The Bears scored on their first nine possessions, seven touchdowns and two field goals by Chris Callahan, and were up 55-0 before their first punt with 5 minutes left in the third quarter.

The fifth-year senior is taking over as Michigan States No. 1 quarterback after spending the past three seasons backing up Connor Cook.Michigan State was merely serviceable on offense for most of the night, and that was good enough against Furman. LJ Scott ran for 105 yards and a touchdown, but the Spartans let the Paladins hang around for a while in the opener for both teams.Down 21-13, Furman took over at the Michigan State 44 with 11:49 remaining after OConnors pass was intercepted.

Blazejowskis pass was picked off on the very next play -- linebacker Andrew Dowell made a diving, one-handed grab to give the Spartans the ball back.OConnor threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jamal Lyles with 4:55 remaining to make it 28-13.The Spartans have won 18 home openers in a row.

HOUSTON TEXANS (9-8)OPEN CAMP: July 31, HoustonLAST YEAR: Inconsistency and injuries forced Texans to use four quarterbacks and they lost running back Arian Foster to season-ending Achilles tendon injury in October. Despite those setbacks defense, led by Defensive Player of Year J.J. Watt, helped them win seven of last nine games to shake off 2-5 start, win AFC South and reach playoffs for first time since 2012. But Brian Hoyer had career-high four interceptions and fumble in embarrassing 30-0 wild-card loss to Kansas City to end season.IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: QB Brock Osweiler, RB Lamar Miller, rookie WRs Will Fuller and Braxton Miller, rookie OG Nick Martin, and OG Jeff Adams.IMPORTANT LOSSES: QB Hoyer, C Ben Jones, RB Foster, TE Garrett Graham, and S Rahim Moore.CAMP NEEDS: New quarterback Oswweiler needs to show hes mastered coach Bill OBriens offense and develop rapport with star receiver DeAndre Hopkins as well as rookie receivers Fuller and Miller.ddddddddddddEXPECTATIONS: After spending $72 million to lure Osweiler from Denver and adding Miller from Miami, Houstons offense appears upgraded. However Osweiler is bit of unknown commodity after starting just seven games in four-year career. If he proves he was worth investment and helps Houstons offense keep pace with vaunted defense, Texans should be much improved from last season, when they benefited from weak AFC South to reach playoffs.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
