Into the second half of the season and teams are into the meat of conference season.
A pair of Thursday games—Navy at Memphis, Georgia Southern at South Alabama—before a quartet of Friday games take us into the weekend. Those Friday matchups are Marshall at North Texas, Clemson at Syracuse, Cal at No. 9 Oregon, and No. 24 San Diego State at San Jose State.
Nebraska is back at an 11 a.m. kickoff for Minnesota, which is back down the depth chart.
