  "account": "In a commanding 21-0 victory over Sam Houston, Texas Tech's defense showcased its prowess by achieving a rare feat of scoring two touchdowns. The key contributor to this defensive triumph was senior linebacker Austin Romaine, who secured both pick-sixes. The first interception came on Sam Houston's fourth play from scrimmage, as Romaine snared the ball from quarterback Brett Holloway 15 yards from the Bearkats' 19-yard line. The second pick-six was executed on Sam Houston's very next possession, when Romaine intercepted a pass again from Holloway, this time 31 yards from the goal line, to complete a remarkable double-digit turnover performance. Romaine, a transfer from Kansas State, had previously recorded just one interception in his three seasons at the collegiate level. Prior to the game, the Hill City, Missouri native had amassed an impressive 119 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, and 18.5 tackles for loss during his collegiate career.",
  "summary": "Two plays, two pick sixes for the senior transfer linebacker, who had only tallied one interception in his previous three college football seasons.",
