  "account": "Houston's Patrick Overmyer set an NCAA record with four touchdown catches, matching the mark previously achieved 11 times by other tight ends. The No. 22 Cougars' defense stifled Kansas State, resulting in a 35-16 victory at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Overmyer's touchdown receptions covered a range of distances, from 1 to 8 yards, breaking the school record set by Mark Hafner in 2008. Makhi Hughes contributed a 13-yard touchdown run, lifting the Cougars to a 5-1 overall record (2-1 Big 12). The Cougars' defense forced five punts, an interception by Jordan Allen and limited Kansas State to 39 passing yards and two late touchdowns. The offense, led by Conner Weigman's 242 passing yards and four touchdowns, exploited the Wildcats' defense previously ranked top in the nation.",
