  "account": "Buffalo secured a 25-18 victory over UMass in overtime on Saturday, thanks to a late tying field goal from Jason Wright. Wright threw two touchdown passes, including the game-winning one in overtime, to Clint Walker. UMass took a 18-15 lead with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter, thanks to a 53-yard field goal by Derek Morris. Buffalo responded with a quick drive that resulted in Oliver Hautanen's 29-yard field goal to force overtime. Messiah Burch had a career-high 172 yards rushing for Buffalo, while Wright completed 16-of-35 passes for 134 yards. UMass' Logan Inagawa completed 14-of-25 passes for 168 yards, and Elijah Faulkner rushed for 84 yards. Buffalo's defense and special teams dominated the first half, with Phillip Folmar's 71-yard kickoff return and Sedrick Vessah's safety. TJ Magee also recovered a muffed punt for a UMass touchdown. The Bulls currently lead the Flagship Cup series against UMass, which honors each university as the flagship institution of their respective states.",
