  "account": "Texas A&M faced a 35-6 loss at LSU, despite displaying better behavior on the road compared to Texas. Texas secured a nail-biting 20-17 victory over Tennessee, with defensive end Colin Simmons receiving a five-sack performance but also being penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct for simulating a restroom visit after a sack. Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed admitted that they were at their lowest point after the loss, but there wasn't much to celebrate. Houston's Conner Weigman dominated the game with four touchdowns and two more on the ground during a 42-28 win over Georgia Southern.",
  "summary": "Texas won its SEC opener over Tennessee but may not have been on its best behavior. The Aggies lost to LSU and are 0-2 in SEC play.",
