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.

MILWAUKEE -- The Chicago Cubs acquired Mike Montgomery in July with the intention of bolstering their bullpen.An injury prompted him moving into the rotation and in his fourth start with the Cubs on Wednesday night, Montgomery turned in five strong innings, allowing one run and two hits.He didnt factor into the decision as the Cubs lost to the Brewers 2-1, sparked by Jonathan Villars two home runs and a game-saving catch by Keon Broxton in the ninth.(Montgomery) was really good, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. The hanging changeup to Villar, that was the pitch that hurt us. But good curveball, good changeup, good fastball.Montgomery, acquired from Seattle in a four-player trade, gained a spot in the starting rotation when John Lackey went on the disabled list with a shoulder problem. He remained in the rotation after Lackeys return on Sunday as the Cubs have temporarily opted to go with a six-man rotation.Montgomery faced the minimum number of batters through three innings.I felt a little better than the last couple outings, Montgomery said.

(Broxton) made a nice play.Maddon said he knew that ball would carry to the fence as soon as it was hit.That kid, Broxton, hes so athletic thhat he was able to go over it, he said.ddddddddddddThe Cubs loaded the bases with one out in the first against Milwaukee starter Matt Garza, but failed to score.Garza, facing his former team for the second time this season, retired 14 of 15 batters at one point before giving up the solo home run to Rizzo with two outs in the sixth.He made that one mistake to me on the slider but other than that, he really pitched us well, Rizzo said.Garza gave up one run and three hits in six innings.Milwaukee won for just the sixth time in the last 28 games against the Cubs.SLIDING BYRyan Braun tried to stretch a single into a double in the fourth but slid past second base and was called out when Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist appli
