  "account": "Tulsa triumphed over Oklahoma State 24-10 in a game that marked the inaugural season for Cowboys head coach Eric Morris. Damari Alston contributed with two touchdowns, while Baylor Hayes added a third score through his passing. The Golden Hurricane secured a two-touchdown lead with eight minutes remaining, thanks to Alston's 29-yard run around left end. Tulsa's defense further solidified their victory by intercepting quarterback Drew Mestemaker twice, forcing four turnovers, and stopping the Cowboys four times on fourth down. Despite Hayes' impressive performance, contributing 227 yards through the air, Tulsa's defense ultimately prevailed. Oklahoma State, currently on a 12-game losing streak, aims to eliminate mistakes in future games. Tulsa will face No. 2 Oregon in their next matchup.",
