  "account": "Tampa, Fla. (AP) — Quarterback Ajani Sheppard scored the game-winning touchdown with a late 34-yard run to give Temple a 17-13 victory over previously unbeaten South Florida on Saturday night. The Heisman Trophy-winning sophomore broke loose on a 10-play, 96-yard drive that consumed 5:24 of the game clock. The Cardinal (2-3, 1-1 American Conference) led 10-3 at halftime after Sheppard’s 24-yard touchdown pass to JoJo Bermudez. South Florida (4-1, 1-1) then had two possessions but couldn’t convert on fourth-and-8 near midfield and fumbled the ball at its own 38-yard line to end their chances. Sheppard rushed 14 times for 87 yards and completed 9 of 14 passes for 92 yards. South Florida’s Michael Van Buren Jr. completed 17 of 32 passes for 205 yards. D.J. Crowther contributed with a short-yardage touchdown run and had 68 yards on the ground for the Bulls. Nico Gramatica made two field goals for South Florida, including a 35-yarder and a 49-yarder, but missed a 52-yard attempt in the second quarter.",
