  "account": "Dexter Williams II guided Tulsa's offense to a dominant 42-0 victory over East Texas A&M on Saturday, connecting for 164 passing yards and three touchdowns. Trequan Jones added to the scoring with a remarkable 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, contributing to a wide-open game. The Golden Hurricane dominated from start to finish, scoring on five of their 12 drives. Williams II connected with Oran Singleton on a 27-yard TD pass early in the contest, and again with Donnell Gee Jr. in the second quarter. Defensively, Tulsa forced seven punts, two turnovers on downs, and a missed field goal. The team hadn't shut out an opponent since a 20-0 win over UTEP on October 26, 2002. Key contributors for Tulsa included Zane Woodham, Sam Stone, and Thomas Davis with sacks, Carter Langenderfer for an interception, and Chris Thompson Jr., who led the team with eight tackles. For East Texas A&M, Major McBride paced the offense with 53 rushing yards on 10 carries, while Quay Middlebrooks added 49 yards on the ground. The Golden Hurricane will next take on McNeese State next Saturday.",
