College football action brings notable halftime leads and tight matchups across the nation, highlighted by top-ranked programs taking control of their games.
Top Team Halftime Leads
No. 16 Oregon holds a 21-7 halftime lead over Michigan. With a 6-3 record, Oregon stands as the country’s highest-ranked three-loss team and retains a path to the Big Ten Championship game if the Ducks and USC win out, having accumulated only two Big Ten losses alongside a head-to-head win against the Trojans.
No. 1 Georgia continues its strong momentum following last week’s victory over Ole Miss by building a 31-7 halftime advantage over No. 18 Mizzou. Similarly, No. 5 Notre Dame dominates Boston College 31-0 at halftime after its recent win over Miami.
Tennessee quarterback change
No. 8 Tennessee made a significant personnel shift by benching starting quarterback George McIntyre in favor of true freshman Faizon Brandon, who opened the season as the starter for the Volunteers. Brandon engineered a field-goal drive against unranked Texas A&M, putting the Volunteers ahead 9-7 late in the third quarter for their first lead of the contest.
