  Jaylen Anderson ran for 155 yards and two touchdowns, and West Virginia defeated Oklahoma State 24-19 on Saturday afternoon. Anderson, a redshirt freshman, had rushed for 120 yards all season before the game. He paced a West Virginia ground attack that pounded out 250 yards rushing on a cold, rainy day that kept most fans at home. West Virginia (5-7, 3-6 Big 12) snapped a seven-game losing skid in the series. Oklahoma State's home win streak ended at 14 games. Oklahoma State freshman Ollie Gordon ran for 136 yards and a touchdown. Garret Rangel started at quarterback for the Cowboys in place of Spencer Sanders, who has dealt with injuries throughout the season. Rangel passed for 178 yards.

Oklahoma State (7-5, 4-5) took over trailing 24-19 with 1:29 remaining, but Rangel threw four straight incomplete passes. Oklahoma State led 10-7 at halftime as the teams produced just 301 combined yards. West Virginia opened the second half with a scoring drive that ended with Anderson's 54-yard touchdown run. Anderson followed that with a 57-yard scoring run minutes later that put the Mountaineers up 21-10. Gordon scored on a 23-yard touchdown run later in the quarter, but the 2-point conversion failed, leaving West Virginia ahead 21-19. Casey Legg's 34-yard field goal pushed the Mountaineers' lead to 24-19 with about six minutes to play. - West Virginia/AP College Football

  Backup quarterback Garrett Greene ran for two touchdowns and threw for a third score, and Casey Legg's 25-yard field goal as time ran out lifted West Virginia to a 23-20 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday. West Virginia (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) beat the Sooners for the first time since joining the Big 12 in 2012. The Mountaineers avoided being eliminated from bowl consideration but still must win its final two games to qualify for the postseason. Oklahoma (5-5, 2-5) will have to wait another week to try to become bowl eligible. The Sooners had the chance to retake the lead but Zach Schmit's 46-yard field goal try hit the right upright with 6:24 remaining. West Virginia took over at its 29 and Greene drove the Mountaineers the length of the field. He converted a fourth-down pass for 5 yards to Bryce Ford-Wheaton to the Oklahoma 34 and he ran 7 yards on third down to the Oklahoma 10 with 51 seconds left.

That set the stage for Legg, who has made all 13 of his field goal tries this season. Oklahoma's Marvin Mims rushed for 211 yards, including TD runs of 12 and 5 yards. His second score put the Sooners ahead 20-13 late in the third quarter. Mims now has 1,113 yards for the season. Greene played two series in the first half and the entire second half in relief of JT Daniels. Greene's 11-yard TD run that followed his 16-yard pass to Kaden Prather on fourth down early in the fourth quarter tied the score at 20-20. Greene finished with 119 rushing yards on 14 carries. He completed 12 of 22 passes for 138 yards. Daniels had his second straight lackluster outing. He completed 7 of 12 passes for 65 yards and threw his seventh interception in the last five games. He also was sacked to push the Mountaineers out of field goal range late in the second quarter. - West Virginia/AP College Football
