The third week of the 2025 Big Ten football season is in the books, and we saw some conference matchups for the first time this year.
While Michigan State is preparing for its first Big Ten game of the season in Week 4, four teams played their first conference games of 2025 in Week 3. Oregon took down Northwestern on the road and USC beat Purdue in West Lafayette. Two West Coast teams took care of business on the road.
Michigan State, on the other hand, didn't have its best defensive performance against Youngstown State as there seem to be more questions than answers after Week 3.
