  "account": "Tennessee State football has been plagued by turnovers and a lack of run game, leading to blown leads in Ohio Valley Conference games. On October 10, the Tigers faced UT Martin and fell 42-28 after the passing game broke down. Quarterback Daylin Lee, who led a 21-7 first-half lead with four touchdowns, including a program-record 99-yard one to Cam Bulluck, also threw three interceptions. Lee had been dealing with injuries, including a sore shoulder. In their previous game on October 3, Western Illinois rallied from a 21-10 deficit to win 28-21. Tigers' coach Reggie Barlow attributed the poor run game to his team's struggles, noting that the offense is still working on improvements, particularly with the line.",
  "summary": "Tennessee State football has committed six turnovers the past two games, which has cost the Tigers a chance to break their OVC losing streak.",
