The night slate has entered its halftime window and we could be in store for some instant classics.

We’ll start in Norman, where No. 15 Kentucky trails Oklahoma 10-7 at halftime. Sooner quarterback John Mateer has been efficient, completing 15-of-20 passes at 75% for 167 yards and a score. Kentucky has a four-game win streak at stake, while Oklahoma is looking for its second-straight ranked win after defeating then-No. 1 Texas last week.

No. 12 UCLA is holding onto a 10-0 shutout against Wisconsin at the half. The Bruins are without quarterback Nico Iamaleava due to injury, but Ty Dieffenbach has been in control of the game going 13-of-21 for 151 yards in the first half. However, it’s too early to count Wisconsin out. The Badgers trailed then-No.13 Penn State 17-7 at half before pulling off the upset.

No. 3 Miami is in its closest game yet, tied with rival Florida State 14-14 at halftime. Miami quarterback Darian Mensah is on pace for his least efficient game during his Hurrricane career, only completing 50 percent of his passes in the first half.

There’s also two ranked-vs.-ranked games going on right now. In the Big 12, No. 20 Houston leads No. 18 Oklahoma State 14-3 after two quarters. Houston quarterback Connor Weigman has only thrown three incompletions while throwing two touchdowns. The Cougar defense might be the standouts of the half so far, allowing just 14 rushing yards.

WEIGMAN DELIVERS 💪 https://t.co/ffqyvm7wFW

Another Big 12 team is in action, as No. 8 BYU has No. 2 Notre Dame down its biggest deficit of the season 21-10. BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier has two touchdowns on the ground and one receiving after a trick play. Notre Dame is looking to end an eight-game losing streak against top-10 teams on the road.
