AMES, Iowa- Freshman QB Grant Rohach led Iowa State to its biggest come-from-behind win (24 points) in school history on Saturday at West Virginia. The Big 12 Conference awarded Rohach for his outstanding performance, naming him Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.

A native of Moorpark, Calif., Rohach threw for a career-high 331 yards and four touchdowns on 25-of-39 passing, as the Cyclones defeated West Virginia, 52-44 in triple overtime. Down 38-21 in the fourth quarter, Rohach led the Cyclones to scores on their final seven possessions, connecting on a pair of touchdown passes to senior Justin Coleman.

His 25-yard pass to Coleman on the first play of the third overtime proved to be the game-winner.

Rohach, who also had a 54-yard touchdown run in the first half, the longest rush of the season for the Cyclones, recorded his second-straight 300-yard passing game. He is the only Cyclone freshman QB in school history to record a pair of 300-yard passing games in a season. His four TD passes ties for third on ISU’s single-game list and equals the freshman mark.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Peyton Manning threw for 403 yards and five touchdowns, four of them to Eric Decker, and the Denver Broncos held off a furious rally to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-28 Sunday and seize control of the AFC West.  Decker had eight catches for a career-high 174 yards for the Broncos (10-2), who moved a game clear of the Chiefs (9-3) in the division. With four games left, Denver also holds the tiebreaker by virtue of two wins over Kansas City in the last three weeks.

Jamaal Charles had 93 yards rushing for the Chiefs, and capped a 17-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown run with 6:32 left in the game to close within a touchdown. After forcing a punt with 3:32 remaining, Kansas City used three long pass plays to move deep into Broncos territory. But Alex Smith’s pass to Dwayne Bowe in the end zone on fourth-and-4 with 1:45 left fell incomplete, allowing the Broncos to run out the clock.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas left after the first series of Denver’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday with a shoulder injury. His return was questionable.  The Broncos were already missing several starters due to injuries.

Defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson went on injured reserve this week after dislocating his right hip, defensive end Derek Wolfe was left behind in Denver after he was hospitalized Friday with some seizure-like symptoms, cornerback Antonio Rodgers-Cromartie was out with a shoulder injury and tight end Julius Thomas was inactive with a lingering knee injury.

Demaryius Thomas came into the game needing 45 yards receiving for back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. He had one catch for 14 yards on the Broncos’ first possession.

AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa won seven of 10 matches and beat host Iowa State 23-9 Sunday in their annual wrestling dual meet.  The fourth-ranked Hawkeyes (4-0) beat the rival Cyclones for the 10th straight time and claimed the Dan Gable Traveling Trophy for the fourth time in as many tries.

Top-ranked Derek St. John beat Iowa State’s John Nicholson 5-1 to clinch the meet for Iowa, which scored a pair of major decisions.  Kyven Gadson, Quean Smith and Luke Goettl posted wins for the Cyclones (5-1).

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — James Bell scored 20 points and sparked a huge Villanova rally, Josh Hart added 16 and the Wildcats beat No. 23 Iowa 88-83 in overtime to claim the Battle 4 Atlantis championship on Saturday night. JayVaughn Pinkston scored 14 points and Ryan Arcidiacono added 13 for the Wildcats (7-0), who got two big offensive rebounds in the final seconds of overtime.

Kris Jenkins scored five of his 10 points in overtime for Villanova, which was down by 15 in the first half, then held Iowa (7-1) to one field goal for nearly a 10-minute stretch of the second half. Devyn Marble led all scorers with 24 points for Iowa. Zach McCabe scored 14 and Mike Gesell added 10 for the Hawkeyes, who scored the first three points of overtime but never led again.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Hallie Christofferson and Seanna Johnson combined to score 35 points to lead No. 23 Iowa State to a 68-57 win over Auburn at the South Point Shootout Saturday. Christofferson, scoring in double figures for the 64th time her career, led all scorers with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting. Johnson added 17 points on 5 of 11 from the floor. Jadda Buckley’s 3-pointer extended the Cyclones’ NCAA record streak of games with a 3-point basket to 587. Nicole Blaskowsky came off the bench to hit four 3-pointers to finish with 12 points.

Auburn (4-3) stayed close, trailing by one, 33-32 at halftime. Hasina Muhammad led the Tigers with 15 points, with Tyrese Tanner and Brandy Montgomery adding 11 and 10 points, respectively.

Iowa State (6-0) remained unbeaten by sweeping both games in Las Vegas. The Cyclones rolled over Eastern Washington, 88-60, Friday night.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Redshirt freshman Grant Rohach threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Justin Coleman in the third overtime and Iowa State came from 24 points down to beat West Virginia 52-44 on Saturday night. Rohach finished with four TD passes and ran for a fifth score as the Cyclones (3-9, 2-7 Big 12) finished a disappointing season with two straight wins.

The Mountaineers (4-8, 2-7) led 31-7 early in the second quarter but ended the year with six losses in their final seven games. Iowa State forced overtime on Rohach’s 19-yard TD toss to Coleman with a minute left. The teams traded field goals in the first two overtimes. After Rohach’s TD to Coleman in the third overtime, Rohach threw a two-point conversion pass to E.J. Bibbs.

West Virginia advanced to the 4 on its possession but couldn’t score. Clint Trickett’s fourth-down pass was caught short of the goal line.
