AMES, Iowa -- West Virginia couldve packed it in after its Big 12 title hopes crashed last week.The Mountaineers, bolstered by freshman Martell Pettaway and a sensational afternoon from quarterback Skyler Howard, made sure that didnt happen.Howard threw for 330 yards and tied a career high with five touchdowns and No. 19 West Virginia rolled past Iowa State 49-19 on Saturday.Pettaway burned his redshirt and ran for 181 yards in his debut for the Mountaineers (9-2, 6-2 Big 12), who outscored Iowa State 28-3 in the second half.There have been three or four times where weve been real close to putting him in, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said of Pettaway, who had 30 carries. He was ready. Hes a smart kid. He looked good too.Howards 71-yard TD toss to Shelton Gibson and Pettaways 4-yard touchdown run, the first of his career, made it 35-19 late in the third quarter.Im saying something in the huddle. Hes like `Yeah, lets do this, Howard said of Pettaway.Justin Crawford, who ran for 331 yards against Oklahoma last week, was injured and replaced by Pettaway after two series. Crawford got bumped in the knee according to WVU running backs coach JaJuan Seider. He is expected to play next week.Kene Nwangwu had a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and Cole Netten kicked four field goals to lead Iowa State (3-9, 2-7). But settling for three instead of converting for seven points -- and losing the turnover battle 4-0 -- killed the Cyclones chances.We didnt give up a touchdown to their offense. Thats winning defense, Holgorsen said.Jacob Park threw for 371 yards and David Montgomery ran for 141 yards for Iowa State, which saw its two-game winning streak snapped.Our inconsistency...you turn the ball over four times inside the 50-yard line against a team like that, its going to prohibit you from having great success, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.THE TAKEAWAYWest Virginia: The Mountaineers blew a chance at a possible conference title run with an ugly 56-28 loss to the Sooners last week. Beating the Cyclones on the road might not seem like much, but the Mountaineers showed resolve in a game that was close for a half.Iowa State: The improvement the Cyclones made from September to November was impressive, even though the game snowballed out of control Saturday. It figured to take a few years for Iowa State to become respectable in the Big 12. With a full offseason, a year of conference play under his belt and an emerging quarterback in Park, Campbell might get the Cyclones near bowl contention in 2017.POLL IMPLICATIONSWest Virginia tumbled nine spots last week. But the three teams ahead of the Mountaineers; Auburn, Nebraska and Houston, lost this week.THE NUMBERSThis was the third five-touchdown game for Howard, who also did it against Arizona State in 2015 and Youngstown State earlier this season. Gibson had 161 yards receiving on just three catches...Iowa State backup quarterback Joel Lanning, who ran for five TDs last week in a 66-10 blowout of Texas Tech, didnt register a pass or a carry. ...West Virginia threw for 341 yards and ran for 272. It also stopped Iowa State 11 times on 15 third-down chances.CYCLONES IN 2017Iowa State brings back the majority of its starters for 2017, including Park, Montgomery, standout receiver Allen Lazard and defensive backs Kamari Cotton-Moya and Brian Peavy. The offensive line will have to be rebuilt, but offensive coordinator/line coach Tom Manning was nominated for the Broyles Award, given to the nations top assistant, for cobbling together a decent unit out of thin air this season.UP NEXTWest Virginia closes the regular season against Baylor, which has lost five straight.---More college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org Swell Flaske Tilbud .

Paul Okon reckons Brisbane Roar are a complete team and has warned his Central Coast Mariners not to stumble into their trap in Sundays A-League encounter in Gosford.Okon hailed the Roar as the competitions best team at forcing opposition turnovers, putting his troops on high alert as they aim to snap out of a disappointing two-game losing run.Renowned for their previous success with a high-possession style, Brisbane coach John Aloisis tweaked gameplan means theyve been happy to give up control of the ball on occasion this season, backing their ability to win the ball back in good areas to generate attacking chances instead.Melbourne City coach John van t Schip criticised the Roar earlier this month for parking the bus but Okon sees it differently.Theyre a complete team. Theyre very good when they have the ball and when they dont. I just think the Roar defend very well from the front, Okon told AAP.It may look like a transition because they win the ball higher up the field and then, bang - I dont think its a typical (counter-attacking style), drop off at halfway, win the ball in your own half.The Roars probably the best team in the competition at defending higher up the field.Unbeaten in their last five and coming off a 4-0 rout over Adelaide United, the Roar won 1-0 earlier this season to extend a six-game winning streak over the Mariners.Aloisi was adamant his team didnt discuss streaks but acknowledged their last loss - a round-two 4-0 thumping by Newcastle - was a turning point that showed the Roars strong chharacter.dddddddddddd.For that reason he said complacency would never again be an issue, especially against a Mariners side keen to rebound from two heavy losses to Wellington and Western Sydney.Theyre playing at home and theyll want to win for their supporters, Aloisi said.Theyve got dangerous players going forward, and they like to keep the ball and tire you out.Okon is desperate for revenge over Aloisi, his former Socceroo teammate and good friend.The pairs playing careers followed similar trajectories - both left Australia at a young age for Belgium, played in Italy and England, featured regularly for the Socceroos throughout the 1990s and enjoyed swansongs in the A-League.I roomed a few times with Johnny, played against him in Belgium. Weve known each other since we were young teenagers, and Ross also, Okon said.Theres a big respect there. Theres always a laugh, thats how its always been - although I know Johnnys very intense and serious these days, now hes a coach.You always want to beat a mate of yours.STATS THAT MATTER* Central Coast have made more passes than any other team and boast the second-best passing accuracy (80.3%) behind Melbourne City (80.5%)* Brisbane have conceded just two first-half goals overall, the fewest of any team, while no team has conceded more than the Mariners (11)* The Roar kept a clean sheet in each of their last three visits to Central Coast Stadium ' ' '
