AUSTIN, Texas -- Kennedy McKoy ran for two touchdowns and No. 16 West Virginias defense withstood a final pass attempt into the end zone to earn a tough 24-20 win over Texas on Saturday that kept alive the Mountaineers Big 12 championship hopes.Skyler Howard passed for 269 yards and a touchdown for West Virginia (8-1, 5-1, No. 11 AP), which allowed Texas running back DOnta Foreman 167 yards rushing but kept him out of the end zone.Texas last shot to win came on the final play when Longhorns (5-5, 3-4) quarterback Shane Buechele lobbed a pass high into the end zone but it floated too far and was incomplete. Game officials checked replay to see if West Virginias defense had too many players on the field but confirmed the play and the game was over.The win sets up a big game next week at home for the Mountaineers against Big 12 leader Oklahoma. The Mountaineers have not yet won a league title since joining the Big 12 in 2012.They wanted to get this win pretty bad, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. Our goal has always been to win the Big 12.Foremans 11th consecutive 100-yard game tied former Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbells Texas school record.THE TAKEAWAYWest Virginia: The Mountaineers came in with the Big 12s best defense and lived up to the billing. Most of Foremans yards came early and the Mountaineers pounded him and Buechele in the second half. The West Virginia offense had four turnovers, three by Howard, but the defense surrendered just seven points off those.They give (Foreman) the ball and ride him. We had to stop him and make others make plays. We did that, said West Virginia linebacker Al-Rasheed Benton.Texas: The pressure is back on coach Charlie Strong, who now has three consecutive five-loss seasons. Texas looked to be turning things around with big wins over Baylor and Texas Tech, but the numbers game is catching up to Strong, who is facing intense speculation that he could be fired. Texas is still trying to get bowl-eligible.I can worry about that, and I really dont worry about that, Strong said of his tenuous job status. I have a really good group of guys and I know they are going to play for me.UP NEXTWest Virginia: The Mountaineers return home next Saturday to host Big 12 leader Oklahoma in a game with huge implications for the league title.Texas: The Longhorns go on the road to Kansas next Saturday.

BOSTON -- Despite serious injuries to key players, the Buffalo Sabres ran up a 4-1-2 road record to start the season.The Boston Bruins, who missed the playoffs for a second straight year last season because of poor home play, are 1-3-0 on home ice to start the new season (6-5-0 overall).On Monday night, when the two old Adams Division foes meet at TD Garden, Buffalo (5-4-2 overall) will be coming off a 2-1 victory at Ottawa Saturday night while the Bruins were thumped 5-2 by the New York Rangers on home ice.Robin Lehner was outstanding in goal for the Sabres -- who lost Jack Eichel and Evander Kane early and Zach Bagosian recently -- Saturday, his 32-save performance the key to the fourth road win of the year. Last year, Buffalo, which finished dead last in the NHL, was 9-29-3 away from home.Lehner beat his old team Saturday.No matter who we played today, it was a win we needed, he said after the game. We dont want to lose two in a row. I think we can learn a few things from this game, but the way we came out in the third after our first goal and the big (penalty kill) we had, we can take some positives too.Lehner is 4-3-1 with a 2.14 goals against average and .929 save percentage this season -- and is 3-6-3 with a 2.64 goals against average and .925 save percentage lifetime against Boston.The Bruins, who won the last three of a four-game road trip, yielded two shorthanded goals and one power play score to suffer another home loss on Saturday.

We didnt play well (but won) in Florida, but Detroit and Tampa, we played well. We wanted to use that momentum to move on into our building.We started out well. I thought, five-on-five, we played a pretty good game.dddddddddddd. We played fast; we were getting a majority of the chances. I thought their goaltender played well. Like I said, the power play let us down. Two goals against, no goals for, thats a big part of it. For a while now, thats been a big part of our team, that power play. Right now, were not getting the results.The Bruins have scored just three power play goals, while surrendering three shorthanded scores.Tuukka Rask suffered his first loss in the Boston net in seven games this season. He didnt play well and may have tweaked the lower body injury that caused him to miss four games.With a Tuesday date in Montreal waiting, it wouldnt be a shock to see rookie Zane McIntyre in goal for his second NHL start Monday.The Sabres worked out at the Bruins new practice facility Sunday. Sam Reinhart, who scored the winning goal Saturday, turned 21 and got a face full of shaving cream from teammate Marcus Foligno during the practice.Thats Marcus for you, Reinhart told the Buffalo News. I was kind of wrestling with (Matt) Moulson in the corner, so I didnt see it coming. It was stuck in the ear a little bit, but a shower helped.Said Foligno: He doesnt know whats going on around him most of the time, so it was pretty easy.Tyler Ennis and Dmitry Kulikov both missed the Buffalo practice Sunday, but just to rest. Asked if he expects both to play Monday, coach Dan Bylsma said, I expect them to play well.The Bruins, who canceled Sunday practice, won three of the four games between the teams last season but the Sabres took three of a possible four points in the two games in Boston.
