MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia cornerback Rasul Douglas wanted TCU to have a taste of what the Horned Frogs did to the Mountaineers a year ago.Douglas had an interception to set up a touchdown and No. 12 West Virginia held TCU scoreless in the second half of a 34-10 win Saturday.It was the second straight blowout in the series after TCU won 40-10 last year in Fort Worth, Texas. Their first three games after joining the Big 12 in 2012 were decided on the final snap, including two that went to overtime.We owed them, Douglas said. No disrespect to them, but we owed them as a team.A retooled defense that has vastly improved over the past month is one reason why West Virginia (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) is off to its best start since winning its first seven games in 2006.I thought it was our most complete game, said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen. It feels good to be 6-0. Its hard to win. So when you do, youve got to enjoy it a little bit.TCU (4-3, 2-2) had only five second-half possessions. Three ended in punts, Deante Gray fumbled away a kickoff and the final possession ended on downs.This one went the Mountaineers way from the start. West Virginia scored touchdowns in the games first six minutes after two TCU turnovers -- another fumbled kickoff by Gray and Douglas interception of Kenny Hill.West Virginias Skyler Howard threw four touchdowns passes, including tosses of 10, 22 and 11 yards to three different receivers to stake the Mountaineers to a 21-10 halftime lead. Helped by some impressive catches by his receivers, including KaRaun Whites diving 16-yard TD grab in the third quarter, Howard finished 16 of 23 passing for 231 yards.To have guys like that to bail you out, its great as a quarterback, Howard said. It makes your job a lot easier.West Virginia used scoring drives of 11 and 15 plays in the third quarter to eat up most of the clock.THE TAKEAWAYTCU: With a bye week to fix an offense that was lethargic in a close win at Kansas , not much worked for the Horned Frogs against West Virginia. Hill completed 18 of 31 passes for a season-low 148 yards. TCUs 300 total yards also were a season worst.TCU was saddled with its most lopsided loss since joining the conference, surpassing a 23-point setback to Texas in 2013.The bottom line is youre not going to win any ball games if you turn the ball over, said TCU coach Gary Patterson. And if you cant move the ball, you dont score.West Virginia: The Mountaineers defense, which has nine new starters this season, is fast becoming the staple of this team. In successive weeks the Mountaineers have held high-scoring Texas Tech and TCU to their lowest point totals of the season.Our kids, I tell you, I keep saying it every week. Theyre fun to coach, said West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. They just get it. They come in and they work. These guys, they just find a way.POLL IMPLICATIONSWest Virginia could be poised to edge closer to its first Top 10 appearance since October 2012 when the AP poll comes out Sunday.SHELL GAMEWith Justin Crawford limited to one carry after sustaining a sprained ankle last week, Rushel Shell got the bulk of the work for West Virginia, finishing with 117 yards on 24 carries.

DENVER -- The Tampa Bay Rays waited 41 days to end their road futility, so a couple extra hours didnt bother them.When they finally got going, it didnt take long to seize control.Blake Snell waited out severe weather to hold Colorado to one hit over six strong innings, Evan Longoria homered and drove in three runs and Tampa Bay beat the Rockies 10-1 on Tuesday night to end an 11-game road losing streak.Snell (2-4) struck out nine and Matt Andriese pitched the final three innings for his first save. Steve Pearce also homered in his return from the disabled list for the Rays, who ended the third longest road losing streak in club history.It feels good, Snell said. I definitely think were turning it around, pieces are coming back. I feel like were going to get it going.Tampa Bay had dropped 25 of 29 games since June 15 to fall to 23 games under .500.Heavy rain and lightning delayed the start of the game by 2 hours, 1 minute. The late start didnt bother the Rays, who ended the longest road losing streak in the majors this season. Their last road win was June 8 at Arizona.They broke out against Rockies starter Tyler Chatwood (8-6). Longorias RBI single in the first got Tampa Bay on the board, and after consecutive doubles in the third, he launched a mammoth home run onto the concourse in left field that bounced out of Coors Field.The homer, his 22nd, went an estimated 462 feet and gave the Rays a 5-0 lead.

This justifies it, this type of outing. Its a little unfair to expect a ton out of a guy making his debut. Today he put it together and we saw the elite pitcher weve heard about for quite some time.Snell said he didnt use his curveball much because he didnt have a good feel for it, so he went to his slider and elevated his fastball to keep Colorados hitters off balance.I feel its a hard pitch to hit, especially when theyre looking down for sliders, Snell said. Fastball up in the zone is hard to get to.Only four Rockies hitters reached base against Snell. Trevor Story spoiled the bid for a shutout with his 23rd homer in the ninth.TRAINERS ROOMRays: Pearce (strained right hamstring) was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list and OF Nick Franklin was optioned to Triple-A Durham. ...
