MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Will Grier threw two touchdown passes, Justin Crawford broke out of a three-game slump with 102 yards rushing and West Virginia held on for a 20-16 victory over No. 14 Iowa State on Saturday. West Virginia (6-3, 4-2 Big 12) became bowl eligible and knocked the Cyclones (6-3, 4-2, No. 15 CFP) out of a four-way tie for first place.

Iowa State trailed 20-0 late in the second quarter and never recovered in losing on the road for the first time. The Cyclones allowed 524 yards of offense, couldn’t come back from its biggest deficit of the season and now has some work to do if it’s going to reach the Big 12 championship game.
