  West Virginia's Curtis Jones Jr. said he's available to play running back whenever he's needed. Jones normally lines up at a hybrid linebacker position, but the sophomore who played on both sides of the ball in high school has been given more practice time in the offensive backfield in recent weeks due to numerous injuries to others. On Saturday, Jones had two short TD runs on his three carries and West Virginia held off Colorado 29-22. "He could be a weapon," West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez said. Jones was the only back who weighed more than 180 pounds available for the Mountaineers after backup Tyler Jacklish got hurt in practice on Wednesday. "I had to shake the dust off a little bit in practice," Jones said, adding that it doesn't matter what side of the ball he's playing on. "I'm just trying to help my team in any situation I can." West Virginia (4-6, 2-6 Big 12) has won two straight for the first time this season.

Colorado (3-7, 1-6 Big 12) has lost three straight. The Buffaloes kept this one close after being outscored 105-24 in their previous two contests. Colorado freshman Ju Ju Lewis threw two touchdown passes in his first start in place of Kaidon Salter. He brought the Buffaloes within 19-16 with a 23-yard scoring toss to Omarion Miller midway through the third quarter. But Colorado never held the lead. Jones punched in a 2-yard run for a score in the second quarter, then scoring on a 4-yard run with 4:15 left in the game for a 29-19 lead. After Alejandro Mata's third field goal brought Colorado within 29-22 with 1:16 left, West Virginia recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock. - West Virginia/AP College Football
