MORGANTOWN, W. Ryan Dull Jersey .Va. -- Clint Trickett waited patiently while two others got the call this season as the starting quarterback at West Virginia. When his time finally came, the Florida State transfer came through. Trickett threw a touchdown pass in his first start at West Virginia and engineered two late scoring drives, leading the Mountaineers to a 30-21 win over No. 11 Oklahoma State on Saturday. For all the mistakes West Virginia made in a 37-0 loss at Maryland last week, the Mountaineers (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) seemed to get most of the breaks Saturday. "There has been a bunch of emotions over the past week, embarrassment and disappointment," Holgorsen said. "But they kept working. It was the best week of practice that we have had all year. We felt like we could win, so we went out there and wanted it pretty bad." Trickett was named West Virginias third starting quarterback after Ford Childress was injured last week. Trickett was chosen to start over Paul Millard, who started the first two games but lost the job after a 16-7 loss at Oklahoma. Trickett finished 24 of 50 for 309 yards in his first start since subbing for EJ Manuel for the Seminoles in October 2011. "When youre the starter, and you know youve got everyone behind you and theyre confident in you, thats so big for me," Trickett said. Trickett said it was tough being passed over as the starter in West Virginias first four games. He played two series in a backup role and couldnt move the offence in the season opener against William & Mary. He didnt play again until Saturday. After taking a 24-14 halftime lead, West Virginia was held out of the end zone in the second half and relied on its defence to slow down J.W. Walsh, who couldnt bring the Cowboys back from their first halftime deficit of the season. Walsh threw three touchdown passes but was intercepted twice. Holgorsen came out on top against Mike Gundy, the Oklahoma State coach whose offence Holgorsen installed when he was the Cowboys offensive co-ordinator in 2010. The teams combined for 177 offensive plays. Yet Holgorsen was proud of one of the better defensive efforts in the three years since hes been at West Virginia. "Golly, they played well," he said. "They created turnovers. They stuck people. They made plays in key situations. They set up scores." Cornerback Ishmael Banks 58-yard interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter was part of 13 points the Mountaineers scored off Oklahoma States three turnovers -- more turnovers than the Cowboys (3-1, 0-1) had in their first three games combined. They also were plagued by errant and dropped passes, poor punting and were penalized 10 times for 96 yards. "There were times when we were functioning and doing fine, and then wed have a drop or two, then a poor throw and then wed put the ball on the ground," Gundy said. "Those arent small mistakes. Those are big mistakes." Oklahoma State, making the 1,000-mile trip to Morgantown for the first time since 1928, got the only second-half touchdown on Walshs 30-yard scoring pass to fullback Jeremy Seaton in blown coverage early in the third quarter. The Cowboys had the chance to tie it midway through the fourth, but Ben Grogans 23-yard field goal try hit the right upright. It marked the first time in 16 tries this season that Oklahoma State didnt score a touchdown when it advanced inside the opponents 20. West Virginia had poor field position for much of the second half and needed a spark to keep its lead. It didnt look good when Trickett left the field for one play after taking a hit to his throwing shoulder early in the fourth quarter, but he returned on the next series. Trickett eventually threw a pair of 17-yard passes to Ronald Carswell and Jordan Thompson to set up Josh Lamberts 27-yard field goal with 3:55 left. Walsh, who finished 20 of 47 for 322 yards, then was intercepted by Darwin Cook and West Virginia took over at the Oklahoma State 36. A personal foul penalty on cornerback Justin Gilbert put the ball at the 7, and Lambert closed the scoring with a 34-yard field goal with 1:28 remaining to close the scoring. Lambert also had a field goal in the first quarter. "It kind of snowballed on us late," Gundy said.

He was happy about it, too. Unaware of how hot the free-swinging Indians had been, the Royals left-hander calmly carried a shutout into the eighth inning Tuesday night. Meanwhile, the Kansas City offence hit a season-best three home runs in a 9-5 victory to open their two-game series. "I guess Im glad I didnt know they scored 17 runs last night," said Vargas, who gave up six hits and hit three batters with pitches, but didnt allow a run until Jason Kipnis drove in a pair with a two-out double in the eighth. "You just have to get ahead and execute," he said, "and let the defence do what they do." Eric Hosmer hit a two-run shot and also drove in a run during a four-run fourth inning. Alex Gordon went deep in the eighth and Mike Moustakas added a two-run shot later that inning as the Royals (32-32) moved back to .500 by matching their second-best run total of the season. "Its a good feeling," Moustakas said, "but its not where we want to be." Corey Kluber (6-4), who dominated the Royals earlier this season, allowed six runs -- three earned -- and six hits over five innings. He struck out five and walked two. He was nearly bailed out when Tim Collins gave up another run in the eighth inning and Aaron Crow yielded two more in the ninth. But Crow wound up finishing for his first save of the season. Asdrubal Cabrera, Carlos Santana and David Murphy drove in the other runs for Cleveland. Both starters dominated for the first couple of innings, Vargas using guile to keep Cleveland off balance and Kluber needing just 17 pitches to retire the first six Royals batters. Everything changed in the bottom of the third. Moustakas walked to start things off, and Alcides Escobar followed with a single. Jarrod Dyson then hit a grounder that Kipnis fielded and tossed to Cabrera covering seecond. Edwin Encarnacion Jersey. But in making the grab and transitioning to his throwing hand, Cabrera dropped the ball. He was still granted an out initially, but replay overturned the umpires call and he was given an error. "When you give teams extra chances, extra opportunities, especially against the middle of the order, sometimes you pay a price for it," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "Obviously, nobody is perfect," Kluber added. "Errors are part of the game." That one loaded the bases for Omar Infante, in the throes of a 1-for-21 slump, and he dropped a single into centre field for a 1-0 lead. Hosmer followed with his RBI groundout, and Billy Butler added a two-run single moments later to make it 4-0. "If we dont win that challenge," Royals manager Ned Yost said, "we lose out on three runs." Hosmer homered in the fifth, his third of the season, and Kluber was yanked after the inning. It was a marked contrast to his last outing against Kansas City, when the right-hander tossed his first career complete game in a 5-1 victory on April 24. Meanwhile, Vargas was mowing down an Indians order that included the scorching Lonnie Chisenhall, who went 5 for 5 with three homers and nine RBIs the previous night in Texas. Vargas even helped himself, snaring a liner in the sixth to start an inning-ending double play. It wasnt until Vargas left the game that the Indians started to rally, and the hole they had dug themselves proved to be far too deep.
