STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – West Virginia, picked to finish near the bottom of the Big 12 this year, will enter November with a chance for the conference title.

Wendell Smallwood ran for a career-high 132 yards to help the 22nd-ranked Mountaineers beat Oklahoma State 34-10 on Saturday.

Clint Trickett passed for 238 yards and two touchdowns and Mario Alford caught seven passes for a season-high 136 yards for the Mountaineers (6-2, 4-1), who earned their fourth straight win and remained a game behind league leader Kansas State.

West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen, who was Oklahoma State’s offensive coordinator in 2010, said he got what he expected – a hard-fought game from a team that was tied for second with the Mountaineers and Baylor in the conference. West Virginia had a 17-10 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

“I’m excited for our coaches and our players to come to Stillwater and get a victory,” Holgorsen said. “There wasn’t anything easy about it. It was a lot more challenging than what the final score indicated.”
