Show Notes
We are into week three which was technically marks the beginning Big Ten conference play. It also ofters a spicy weekend of nonconference matchups with another dose of games that look to be laughers.
The headliner of the weekend if a rematch of last year's season-opening barnburner, with Texas A&M making a return trip to South Bend to take on Notre Dame. The Aggies desperately seek a validating win under second-year coach Mike Elko to catapult them firmly into the playoff discussion prior to SEC play. On the other sideline, Marcus Freeman's squad needs a win to avoid an 0-2 start for the second time in four years.
Elsewhere in nonconference action, Wisconsin makes a return trip south to Alabama. Billy Edwards appears to be OUT for this contest; can backup Danny O'Neil continue to spark the Badgers's offense against a much tougher opponent? Out west (and late at night) Minnesota takes on Cal in a contest between exciting young QBs in Drake Lindsey and Jaron-Keawe Sagapulotele. Can the Gophers ascend to 3-0 for the first time since 2022?
In Big Ten play, Oregon gets a 9 am body clock kickoff with a Big Noon contest at Northwestern's temp-stadium. USC makes its first eastward trip of the season against Purdue. Michigan, Illinois, Ohio State and Iowa dip their toes into MAC play; UCLA provides New Mexico a second foray into Big Ten play; while Indiana, Nebraska, Maryland, Penn State, Rutgers and Michigan State host laughably overmatched FCS opponents.
