  "account": "Arizona State Sun Devils head coach Kenny Dillingham has jokingly expressed his willingness to be hit by tortillas during the upcoming game against No. 10 Texas Tech Red Raiders. Dillingham made the announcement before the match, suggesting that any fans who wish to throw tortillas at him, especially on third or fourth downs, are welcome to do so. The condition is that the tortilla throw would result in a 15-yard penalty for the opposing team. This tradition, which was previously banned due to two penalties imposed on Texas Tech last season, has Dillingham volunteering to be the target when Arizona State faces Texas Tech this weekend. The teams previously met, with ASU emerging victorious 26-22. Texas Tech aims to secure their second consecutive 6-0 season and extend their impressive 12-game home winning streak. Arizona State, meanwhile, enters the game on a 3-2 record following their win against Hawaii last week. With Texas Tech currently undefeated, the Sun Devils face a significant challenge in their attempt to upset one of the nation's few undefeated teams. The game is scheduled for Saturday, October 17, at 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX.",
