MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Skyler Howard threw four touchdown passes and No. 12 West Virginia's improving defense held TCU scoreless in the second half of a 34-10 win Saturday.

And there's this, too: 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. It's hard to win. So when you do, you've got to enjoy it a little bit."

Howard had first-half TD tosses of 10, 22 and 11 yards to three different receivers to stake West Virginia to a 21-10 halftime lead. Howard finished 16 of 23 passing for 231 yards.

West Virginia used scoring drives of 11 and 15 plays in the third quarter to eat up most of the clock.

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.

The Mountaineers scored touchdowns in the game's first six minutes after two TCU turnovers — another fumbled kickoff by Gray and Rasul Douglas' interception of Kenny Hill.
