AMES, Iowa-For once, there wasn't a quarterback controversy for Iowa State.
The Cyclones excelled behind both Joel Lanning and Jacob Park, who helped deliver first-year coach Matt Campbell's first win.
Park threw for 165 yards and three touchdowns and Iowa State thumped San Jose State 44-10 on Saturday.
Mike Warren rushed for a season-high 103 yards for Iowa State (1-3), which finally had some success rotating Lanning, the starter, and Park.
Lanning was 5 of 8 passing for 136 yards and two TDs. The pair rotated on what appeared to be a pre-planned schedule-and the Spartans couldn't stop either one of them.
The Cyclones needed just 7:51 and 24 plays to put up 23 points-a season high for a game-in the first half. Lanning's 49-yard TD pass to Deshaunte Jones made it 30-3 early in the second half.
Iowa State's offense finished with 503 yards.
San Jose State freshman Josh Love threw for 155 yards, but he was also picked off four times. The Spartans (1-3) sorely missed starter Kenny Potter, who was out with a right leg injury.
West Virginia 35, BYU 32
LANDOVER, Md.-Skyler Howard passed for 332 yards and accounted for two touchdowns and Rasul Douglas returned an interception 54 yards for a score as West Virginia beat BYU 35-32 Saturday to head into Big 12 play
unbeaten.
Howard went 31 for 40 with an interception and Rushel Shell had two short TD runs for the Mountaineers (3-0).
BYU (1-3) was one of 11 teams Big 12 officials met with earlier this month in Dallas as they consider whether to expand the 10-team league. The Cougars' performance on the field against West Virginia is not likely to sway things. If nothing else, their fans did a nice job of showing off the school's national reach. The lower level of FedEx Field behind the BYU bench was well stocked with the white and blue of the Cougars-despite being 2,000 miles away from their campus in Provo,
Utah.
The Big 12 is all about offense, and the Cougars did their best to keep up with the fast-paced Mountaineers. Taysom Hill threw for 241 yards and ran for 101 and Jamaal Williams had 169 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, but each of the Cougars' stars had key turnovers. Hill threw three interceptions, two on tipped passes, and Williams lost a fumble that led to a West Virginia touchdown.
