  "account": "In a 36-19 victory over Louisiana Tech, Baylor quarterback Nate Bennett delivered an impressive performance, throwing for 253 yards and scoring four touchdowns to lead the team to a win. Bennett replaced Florida transfer DJ Lagway, who had suffered an ankle injury in the previous game against Auburn. The backup quarterback completed 21 out of 24 passes and secured three touchdowns through the air and on the ground. His scoring drives included a 51-yard touchdown to Louis Brown IV and a 36-yard strike to Jayden McGowan in the fourth quarter. The Bears' offensive line played a crucial role in protecting Bennett and setting up his successful passes. Louisiana Tech scored on their opening drive, rushing for 75 yards for a touchdown, but Baylor answered with a 22-point surge in the second quarter, ultimately securing a 29-19 lead. Backup quarterback Trey Kukuk led the Bulldogs with 223 passing yards and a touchdown, while contributing 75 rushing yards. Coach Dave Aranda of Baylor has been searching for a dependable secondary receiver to complement Gavin Freeman, who has already surpassed 100 receiving yards in the first two weeks. McGowan emerged as a potential option for Aranda, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities with 79 receiving yards and two touchdowns on the day.",
