Hunter Dekkers threw for two touchdowns, one to senior Xavier Hutchinson and Iowa State halted their 5 game losing skid with a 31-14 win over West Virginia in Ames on Saturday.

Hutchinson hauled in 10 passes for 123 yards to go along with that score as the Cyclones kept their hopes for a sixth straight bowl alive.

Dekkers finished 24 of 36 for 219 yards and the Cyclones put the clamps down in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Mountaineers 21-7 in the period.

Iowa State improves to 4-5 on the season and will next up head to Oklahoma State.
