  "account": "In a 42-28 victory over UCF, No. 18 Oklahoma State showcased a dominant performance, fueled by a crucial fumble return that shifted the momentum. Quarterback Drew Mestemaker led the charge with 304 passing yards and two touchdowns, adding a rushing score and a conversion for an impressive 35-21 advantage entering the fourth quarter. Evan Jackson capitalized on a defensive turnover, returning a fumble 28 yards for another touchdown, cementing the Cowboys' lead. The Knights, led by Keyone Jenkins with 265 passing yards and four touchdowns, put up a spirited fight, but a dropped pass by Jenkins set up Oklahoma State's decisive play. Mestemaker's precise 12-of-16 passing in the first half and Sam Keltner's clutch 27-yard field goal contributed to a solid win. Oklahoma State, known for their potent offense, now heads to Houston next Saturday, while UCF faces a challenging road stretch with 12 consecutive away games.",
