  "account": "Drake Lindsey guided Minnesota to a commanding 41-7 victory over Akron on Saturday. The quarterback completed 17 out of 31 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns. Lindsey's precision was on display as he connected with Noah Jennings for a 6-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and later hit Jalen Smith with an 18-yard scoring pass in the third quarter. Akron scored once in the fourth quarter when Marcellus Williams ran in a 10-yard touchdown, but it was too little, too late. The Zips' struggles were evident as they committed seven penalties, lost two fumbles and threw an interception, hampering their chances throughout the game. Minnesota, playing without their leading rusher Darius Taylor, managed to rack up 191 rushing yards, with 154 of those coming in the fourth quarter. The team opens Big Ten play with a trip to Washington next Saturday.",
