College Football’s Best Week 3 Games: LSU, Ohio State, TCU, Colorado, More
Week 3 of college football The season has begun !
To kick things off on FOX, Drew Allar and No. 7 State of Pennsylvania fight Illinois on “Big noon kick-off. ” Find all the action here.
No. 14 LSU looks to continue its hot streak by taking on SEC foe Mississippi State. The Tigers led the Bulldogs at halftime, 24-7, thanks to the stellar play of quarterback Jayden Daniels, who totaled 255 passing yards.
WR Malik Nabers was Daniels’ main target in the first half, making two touchdown catches and 188 receiving yards. Nabers recorded four receptions of 25-plus yards in the first half, the most by an LSU player in the first half of a game since Ja’Marr Chase in 2019 against Vanderbilt.
Later, a handful of top 15 teams are in action, including No. 6 Ohio State, No. 8 Washington and No. 11 Tennessee. Bottom line, it’s a battle of in-state rivals, as TCU takes on Houston (8 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app), followed by Deion Sanders and No. 18 Colorado hosting Colorado State ( 10 p.m. ET).
Here are the best moments!
