What happened
ESPN RECAPNo. 18 West Virginia rolls past Iowa State 49-19
AMES, Iowa -- West Virginia could've 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 didn't 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 we've been real close to putting him in," West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said of Pettaway, who had 30 carries. "He was ready. He's a smart kid. He looked good too." Howard's 71-yard TD toss to Shelton Gibson and Pettaway's 4-yard touchdown run, the first of his career, made it 35-19 late in the third quarter.
