MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Skyler Howard did just enough on an erratic night to secure West Virginias first 10-win regular season in a decade.Howard threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, and No. 14 West Virginia held on for a 24-21 victory over Baylor on Saturday in their Big 12 regular-season finale.After the game, West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons announced in a statement that coach Dana Holgorsen was given a five-year contract extension to 2021.Justin Crawford rushed for 209 yards for the Mountaineers (10-2, 7-2). They came from 11 points down in the first half to hand Baylor (6-6, 3-6) its sixth straight loss after a 6-0 start.I guess its fitting that in a year where we battled and fight to get to 10 wins, we get to it in the hardest way possible, Holgorsen said.Howard improved to 19-8 as a starter. He received the loudest ovation from the crowd as players were introduced on Senior Day and he ran to midfield to hug his mom, Deidre Kelley.All he does is win, Holgorsen said. Thats his career. Thats his legacy. Hes a smart, competitive kid.Baylor held the momentum for nearly three quarters in the final regular-season game for acting coach Jim Grobe, but that changed on two plays.Howard, having one of his worst games of the season, threw to Gary Jennings over the middle and he turned it into a 58-yard scoring play.After Baylor got the ball back, Marvin Gross stripped quarterback Zach Smith, and Darrien Howard recovered for West Virginia. An unsportsmanlike penalty on Baylor gave the Mountaineers the ball at the Bears 6, and Skyler Howard scored on a 1-yard sneak on fourth down for a 24-14 lead.Smith threw a 43-yard TD toss to Ishmael Zamora with 2:40 left in the game and the Bears got the ball back following a punt. But Smith was stripped of the ball on a pass attempt and Darrien Howard recovered at the Baylor 30 with 27 seconds left.We actually played better today, Grobe said. Im just proud of the way our kids have hung in there with a freshman quarterback. Weve really been an undermanned football team all year. It affects not only our depth on the field but also our practice.THE TAKEAWAYBaylor: The heavy-underdog Bears led 14-3 midway through the second quarter but couldnt muster much on offense after that. A defense that had given up an average of 48 points and 576 yards during its losing streak held its own against West Virginia for much of the game.I think we gave damn good effort, said Smith, playing his third game in place of the injured Seth Russell.West Virginia: The Mountaineers had already clinched third place in the Big 12. Despite the final home game for 21 seniors, West Virginia was sluggish on a cold night. Howard completed 10 of 26 passes for a season-low 111 yards.HOLGORSEN CONTRACTHolgorsens new five-year package is worth $18.6 million plus incentives.Holgorsen, 45, earned $2.9 million this season, including a base salary of $250,000.

He also had 331 yards in a loss to Oklahoma on Nov. 19.He now has the 11th-highest single-season rushing total in school history.It marked the first time West Virginia player had multiple 200-yard rushing games since 2006.SQUANDERED CHANCESWest Virginia couldnt cash in on several other chances to score that would have made the game a rout.After getting an interception on the games opening drive, West Virginia turned the ball over on downs at the Baylor 22.Mike Molina later missed two field goals. Shelton Gibson returned the second-half kickoff for a touchdown, but that was called back by a holding penalty on the Mountaineers.POLL IMPLICATIONSAn unimpressive win against a struggling team shouldnt give West Virginia a reason to move up in the AP poll .UP NEXTBoth teams find out their bowl destinations Sunday.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Joe Corona USA Jersey . - Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings was speaking to a group of local high school students earlier this week when the conversation turned to the importance of being prepared when opportunities in life arise.
