  "account": "Jackson Arnold was the driving force behind UNLV's 39-31 triumph over California on Saturday. The quarterback passed and rushed for a total of 268 yards and five touchdowns. Arnold's performance included 158 passing yards and three touchdowns, along with 110 rushing yards and two touchdowns. His multi-faceted contributions were crucial in securing the victory for the Rebels (3-2). California entered the game without their leading rusher, Adam Mohammed, due to an injured knee, and later lost safety Kingston Lopa, whose five interceptions were the nation's best, to an upper-body injury early in the first quarter. Quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele exited late in the first half and did not return. Jackson Brousseau stepped in and completed 19 of 32 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns as the Golden Bears relied heavily on passing. The upset turned into a 24-7 halftime lead for UNLV, but California fought back to tie the game 25-25 early in the fourth quarter. Arnold sealed the win with a 10-yard pass to Keyan Burnett and a 2-yard touchdown run with only 3:24 remaining on the clock.",
