The action on the college football gridiron is bountiful during Week 10 of the 2020 season with four games pairing Top 25 team against one another, including two contests featuring Top 8 squads. The race for a College Football Playoff berth started to narrow.
The top game of the week was No. 1 Clemson taking on No. 4 Notre Dame in South Bend; and the game lived up to the hype. In overtime, the Fighting Irish took down the Tigers 47-40. Clemson’s true freshman quarter DJ Uiagalelei played out of his mind again in his second career start completing 29-of-44 passes for 439 yards with two touchdowns without an interception. The other Top 10 matchup with playoff implications was No. 8 Florida taking on No. 5 Georgia. The defacto SEC East Championship Game was a slugfest early but the Gators pulled away in the second quarter taking a 17-point lead into halftime before securing a 44-28 win.
The RNG Interviewee of the Week is Oregon State running back Jermar Jefferson. In a showdown against Washington State, Jefferson carried the rock 21 times for 120 yards with three touchdowns and hauled in five passes for 50 yards.
