Baylor quarterback Seth Russell stretches with the team during warm ups before an NCAA college football game against Texas Tech Saturday, Oct. 3, 2015, in Arlington, Texas.

Waco, Texas — Carrying a 37-game road losing streak and facing a bigger, faster, more experienced opponent, it can’t be easy for the Kansas football team to find reasons to be confident the streak will end today at McLane Stadium.

Here’s a small one: Baylor’s huge weight advantage at offensive line, where the starting five blockers average 313 pounds, might have shrunk the tiniest bit.

Most FBS teams spend the night before home games at hotels. Baylor was staying at the same hotel as the broadcasting crew headed by Tim Brando and Spencer Tillman for today’s game. Members of the crew said that as many as eight Baylor offensive linemen were stuck in the hotel elevator for about an hour and after emerged on the sweaty side.

They might have sweated away a few pounds, but it’s not as if quarterback Seth Russell is sweating about his line not getting the job done. The Bears’ blockers consistently know how to rise up to protect the quarterback and blow open holes for running backs Shock Linwood and Terence Williams.

This is not the first time a group of massive football players ignored the posted weight capacity and brought the elevator to a lengthy halt. It also happened last spring to USC linemen.
