Michigan State football has traveled to the west coast to take on No. 25 USC in a late night battle of 3-0 teams. While USC played their first Big Ten game a week ago against Purdue, this is the first Big Ten game of the 2025 season for Michigan State, and comes as a major test for the Spartans.

Notre Dame made the biggest plays when it mattered the most, as the Fighting Irish won their seventh straight home game against USC in the “Battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh.”

In Year 4 under Lincoln Riley, USC still has a chronic and fatal tendency to play mistake-filled football on the road. The Trojans weren't good enough

END 2Q: After an efficient drive from the Trojans, with King Miller gaining most of the yards on it via rushing, Jayden Maiava and Makai Lemon connected in the endzone to put USC up 14-7 just before the end of the half.

The Red Raiders have asserted themselves as one of the very best teams in the country, and that doesn't seem likely to change tonight. Texas Tech has jumped all over Kansas in the early going, and its rushing attack is slicing the Jayhawks' defense.

Here are the highlights from Week 8 of college football, including Washington-Michigan, Ole Miss-Georgia, USC-Notre Dame, Utah-BYU and more.
