Torry Holt Youth Jersey . The Red Raiders now wait to find out if the dual-threat quarterback stays for his senior season or leaves early for the NFL draft.In what might have been his last college game, Mahomes threw for 586 yards and matched a career high with six touchdown passes as Texas Tech won its season finale 54-35 over Baylor on Friday night.Im just focused on we got the win and celebrating with my teammates, Mahomes said. Ill get a little bit of a break to go home and enjoy my family and friends, and then Ill talk with Coach Kingsbury, talk to my family, and figure out whats the best decision.Mahomes completed 30 of 46 passes in the season finale and finished the season with 5,052 yards passing -- a national-leading 421 per game for the Red Raiders (5-7, 3-6 Big 12). He became only third FBS player with multiple seasons of more than 5,000 total yards,Red Raiders coach Kliff Kingsbury said the next step is determining Mahomes potential draft process and that they would submit this weekend to begin that process.I know what Id like to tell him, Kingsbury said, with a smile. If the money is right and he needs to go, do that. If its not, if theres some way we can improve and improve his skill set and his talent, then hell come back and well do it again.The two teams combined for 1,300 total yards (666 for the Red Raiders, 634 for the Bears). Both had two 100-yard receivers, and Baylors Terence Williams ran for 147 yards and two touchdowns.Mahomes also threw six TDs against Baylor in the Dallas Cowboys stadium two years ago.Baylor (6-5, 3-5) has lost five in a row since starting 6-0 to get bowl eligible and reaching No. 8 in the AP poll.When we were 6-0, I didnt feel comfortable going into the last half of the season, acting head coach Jim Grobe said. Because I knew we had a lot of things going on and swirling around outside the program that could affect us.Bears freshman quarterback Zach Smith was 30-of-46 passing for 377 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in his second start since senior Seth Russells ankle surgery.Texas Tech led 34-7 midway through the second quarter after Mahomes 80-yard pass to Keke Coutee, who finished with eight catches for 221 yards. Coutee made the catch near midfield and spun away from the grasp of a defender.Mahomes had thrown an 81-yard TD to Quan Shorts on his previous pass, and earlier, a 40-yard score to Dylan Cantrell immediately after a Bears fumble. The 80- and 81-yard TDs both came on the first plays after Baylor had been stopped on fourth down.He can keep the plays alive, and he always keeps his eyes downfield, Baylor linebacker Aiavion Edwards said. If you give you any time at all, hes going to find an open target, and most likely deep.And fast.THE TAKEAWAYBaylor: The Bears now have their longest losing streak since dropping nine in a row. They lost their last eight games of the 2007 season and former coach Art Briles debut in 2008 against Wake Forest, when Baylor acting head coach Jim Grobe coached the Demon Deacons.Texas Tech: The strong finish to end a three-game losing streak at least eases the sting of going into a long offseason, especially after that woeful 66-10 loss at Iowa State the previous week.MAHOMES 5KMahomes joined former Texas Tech QB Graham Harrell (2007-08) and former Houston QB Case Keenum (2008-09, 11) with over 5,000 total yards more than once. Mahomes had 5,337 yards this season while accounting for 53 TDs (41 passing, 12 rushing).BAYLOR NOTESBaylor had two receivers with at least 10 catches for the first time in school history. Ishmael Zamora (155 yards, one TD) and KD Cannon (132 yards, two TDs) each had 12 catches. ... The Bears had four turnovers (three lost fumbles and an interception). The Bears also had three fumbles they were able to recover.UP NEXTTexas Tech goes into the offseason.

Bobby Evans Rams Jersey . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night.

LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. INDIANAPOLIS -- The two Indiana favorites didnt win the Brickyard 400 -- far from it.But Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon gave the fans at Indianapolis Motor Speedway the highlight of the race minutes after the checkered flag dropped on the Kyle Busch victory Sunday afternoon.Stewart and Gordon took a ceremonial lap driving side-by-side in what is expected to be their final race in the state that has celebrated their racing prowess. After they parked on pit road, Gordon went over to Stewart and gave him a hug.Gordon didnt expect to compete Sunday -- he was supposed to drive the pace car. But with Dale Earnhardt Jr.?out because of concussion-like symptoms, Gordon came out of retirement to race. He shared the spotlight with Stewart, who will retire from Sprint Cup racing after this year.A five-time Brickyard 400 winner, Gordon finished 13th, two spots behind the two-time Brickyard winner Stewart. The Indiana native Stewart finished 11th. He still lives in the state. Gordon moved to a town near Indianapolis when he was 14.For us to share that moment together, I mean thats probably our last lap around here in a professional race, and Ill cherish that moment, Stewart said. Its something that doesnt happen very often.It was pretty cool. ... Were never going to get that chance to do that again.In January, Gordon invited Stewart to go dune buggy riding with him?in California. Stewart broke his back on a hard landing, which forced him to miss the first eight races of the year.Tony and I have gone through a lot over the years, but he and I have become really good friends, Gordon said. I was with him when he got hurt this year. ... I leaarned a lot about Tony Stewart.
Cory Littleton Womens Jersey. Hes driven. Hes tough.To see him in that pain I saw him in and come back and win Sonoma [last month] and be out here driving like this with a chance at a championship when this whole thing is over, thats impressive.As far as the race, the 44-year-old Gordon had some typical Gordon moments on the track. He was never great on the double-file restarts. He had some moments when he nearly got caught up into accidents. He passed about four cars on the final couple laps.I enjoyed moments, Gordon said. I enjoyed that last [ceremonial] pace lap with Tony Stewart. ... Ill be honest. Those restarts -- thats not fun.Theres nothing fun about that, unless you are making great passes and go forward. When you are getting your butt kicked on restarts, its not fun. That was the least fun for me, but its also something I need to work on for next week at Pocono.Gordon joked that he was too old to be doing this much longer. He is committed to Pocono next week but nothing beyond then. A timetable for Earnhardts return has not been set.Being out of the car this long made me realize how tough this truly is, how not only fit are these drivers but how talented they are, Gordon said. They just took advantage of me on those restarts.They knew they could -- they probably knew that a little bit when I was full-time. ... It gives me a great appreciation for what this [new 2016 aerodynamic] package is like. Its not easy. It was hard.ESPN.coms?John Oreovicz contributed to this report. ' ' '
