AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas coach Charlie Strong insists that he can live with the noise, the criticism of his program and speculation about his job security.He would rather his players not have to endure the week-to-week referendum games.The Longhorns earned another temporary break from the hot-seat talk when Trent Domingue kicked a 39-yard field goal with 46 seconds remaining and Texas upset No. 8 Baylor 35-34 on Saturday to hand the Bears their first loss.I will be fine, Strong said. Dont worry about me. But these young kids, it bothers them.Some Longhorns said they block out the criticism of Strong and the team. Defensive end Breckyn Hager is not one of them.Oh, its gotten to me, Hager said. I take it very personally.For the second straight season, Strong and the Longhorns (4-4, 2/3 Big 12) beat Baylor (6-1, 3-1). This time Texas also dealt a blow to the Big 12s hopes of putting a team in the College Football Playoff.Both the conferences remaining unbeaten teams lost Saturday, with No. 10 West Virginia going down at Oklahoma State .DOnta Foreman rushed for a career best 250 yards and two touchdowns for the Longhorns, who scored with 7:03 left on 7-yard pass from Shane Buechele to Andrew Beck to make it 34-32. The Bears stuffed Tyrone Swoopes trying to run for a 2-point conversion.Domingue, who transferred this season from LSU, missed a critical field goal during a loss at Kansas State last week. He had three PATs blocked by Oklahoma State earlier in the season.He was walking the sidelines saying `give me one chance, give me one chance, Strong said. You just knew he was going to hit that.Domingue, a senior, said this was his first game-winning kick in college.I was extremely nervous, Domingue said. As a kicker, you are not supposed to think `dont miss. But I was thinking `dont miss. Seth Russell had 364 yards passing and running and accounted for three touchdowns for Baylor. Russell, a senior, rushed for 138 yards, second-most of his career. The Bears gained 624 yards, including 398 rushing, their most ever against Texas.We knew the quarterback run was going to hurt them, said Russell, 14-1 as Baylors starting quarterback. But it didnt hurt them enough.Foreman rushed for 100 yards in the first quarter, reaching the 100-yard mark for the ninth straight game. He scored twice in the half, on runs of 37 and 9 yards, and Texas held a 23-21 lead at the break.Foremans twin brother, wide receiver Armanti, caught four passes for 142 yards and a touchdown.This is stuff we dream about, DOnta Foreman said. This is stuff we talk about all the time.TAKEAWAYSBaylor: The Bears played a weak nonconference schedule and have faced only one team with a winning record so far. Getting into the playoff is going to be very tough even if they win out, but they have two games left against ranked teams (at No. 10 West Virginia and No. 16 Oklahoma).Texas: Was this a much-needed breakthrough for Texas? The Longhorns avoided falling to 3-5 for the third straight season under Strong. He is now 15-18, including 11-12 in the Big 12, during his three seasons. Check back next week.POLL IMPLICATIONSBaylor will take a plunge.INJURY UPDATEGrayland Arnold, a freshman starting cornerback for Baylor, was taken off the field on a cart after suffering a neck injury while trying to make a tackle on a kickoff in the first quarter. Scans and an MRI at a local hospital were negative, according to a Baylor spokesman. Arnold was in the locker room after the game.CLOSE CALLTexas defensive back Kris Boyd avoided what looked like it could have been a targeting foul when he tackled Russell in the third quarter. Officials made the ruling after a replay review.UP NEXTBaylor: The Bears play host to TCU on Saturday.Texas: The Longhorns are at Texas Tech on Saturday. Hydro Flask 24 OZ .

Center Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz on Monday agreed on a four-year contract extension worth $102 million, according to league sources.The Jazz announced the move Monday but did not disclose terms. Gobert tweeted a picture of himself signing the paperwork with the caption 4 more years!Finalizing the deal in advance of Mondays 11:59 p.m. ET deadline allowed the Jazz to avoid restricted free agency on Gobert in July. The contract will fall just shy of the projected max of $106 million.It will be done today, a source close to the talks said earlier Monday.Gobert had told the Salt Lake Tribune this month that he was prepared to wait until restricted free agency in July, if necessary, but sources said Utah was motivated to get a deal done before the extensioon window closed for 2013 first-round picks to ensure that its defensive anchor stayed off the open market next summer.ddddddddddddhe Jazz are undoubtedly hoping that re-signing Gobert helps them re-sign star swingman Gordon Hayward in July if Hayward, as expected, opts out of the final year of his contract to become an unrestricted free agent.
