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. Northwestern State finally scored on their ensuing possession.Baylor led 48-0 at the half, when the Demons had 3 total yards and eight punts.NO. 12 MICHIGAN STATE 28, FURMAN 13EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Tyler OConnor threw for 190 yards and three touchdowns, and Michigan State held off upset-minded Furman.OConnor went 13 of 18 with an interception, a generally efficient performance in his second career start. 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. But P.J. 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.

WACO, Texas -- A Baylor football player arrested this week on a felony stalking charge was allowed to play in 2015 despite being accused of sexual assault and violating a no contact order with his accuser, ESPN reported Thursday.Rami Hammad was suspended from the Baylor football team on Monday after he was charged with stalking, harassing and assaulting a former girlfriend.ESPNs Outside the Lines reported Thursday that a different woman told Baylor officials in September 2015 that after going with Hammad to his apartment, he forced her to perform a sexual act. ESPN did not identify the woman.The woman told ESPN she did not go to police because she did not perceive the incident to be rape and worried about the repercussions of reporting a football player. Only after an acquaintance told her about a similar encounter with Hammad did she report it to Baylors Title IX office, which is supposed to enforce federal anti-gender discrimination guidelines.After Hammad confronted her about reporting him to Baylor officials, the woman requested and received on Sept. 30, 2015, a no contact order issued by Baylor that told Hammad to stay away from her, ESPN reported.Two days later, Hammad confronted her again on campus, yelling at her until two other male students approached. At that point she called Baylor police, but ultimately decided not to press charges.ESPN reported that it reviewed the no-contact order as well as emails the woman received from Baylor.When contacted by ESPN, Hammad referred questions to Waco criminal defense attorney Phil Martinez. Martinezs office said he is on vacation and he did not immediately respond from The Associated Press for comment.Baylor spokeswoman Tonya Lewis said she could not comment on specific cases.Every Title IX-related allegation is always investigated, but the process must be equitable and fair to both parties involved until there is a fair outcome in the investigation. Both the complainant and respondent have equal rights and aree allowed due process.dddddddddddd No-contact orders are equitable directives where both parties have responsibilities to avoid communication or contact with each other, Lewis said.Baylor separately faces three federal civil lawsuits by eight women who have accused the school of ignoring or being indifferent to their claims of sexual assault dating back to 2005.Baylor allowed Hammad to keep playing football despite the no-contact order, the call to police and the fact that just a month earlier, the university had hired the Pepper Hamilton law firm to investigate how the school handled sexual assault complaints.Pepper Hamilton released its findings in May, concluding that Baylor had mishandled sex assault complaints for years and had created a culture that the football program was above the rules.In response, Baylors board of regents demoted President and Chancellor Ken Starr and fired football coach Art Briles, but allowed all of Briles assistants to stay on staff.The woman in the Hammad incident told ESPN she declined to participate in Baylors judicial affairs trial in October because it would be too emotionally upsetting to be near him. She was allowed to have an investigator speak on her behalf.The woman said she heard nothing from Baylor until receiving a Nov. 12 email telling her to avoid contact with him, what exits to take from a science building, and that she must notify school officials 24 hours in advance if she needed access to any building where she did not have a scheduled class.The woman said Baylors Title IX office told her they would not disclose the results of Hammads judicial affairs trial.A Baylor spokeswoman said in an email to ESPN that any determination of a Title IX procedure is communicated to both parties and all parties have the right to appeal as well as access to case-related information and investigations.
