Josh Hoover threw for 247 yards and a touchdown Saturday night while Trent Battle rushed for 89 yards and a score as visiting TCU stopped West Virginia 23-17 in Morgantown.

Hoover completed 24 of 39 passes for the Horned Frogs (6-2, 3-2 Big 12 Conference), which also got three field goals from Nate McCashland. Eric McAlister added nine catches for 124 yards and a touchdown.

Freshman Scotty Fox hit 28 of 41 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns for the Mountaineers (2-6, 0-5), who dropped their fifth straight game. Fox drew his team within six points on a pretty 28-yard strike to Jeff Weimer with 3:15 remaining.

But Battle recovered an onside kick at the West Virginia 44 and Hoover sealed the outcome by hooking up with McAlister for a 21-yard reception to the 19 at the two-minute timeo
