Big 12 Conference Play Kicks Off Across Multiple College Football Venues

Friday night's college football schedule features several key matchups, including the start of Big 12 conference play where Colorado will start Ryan Staub at quarterback against Houston, and Kansas State aims to rebound against Arizona. The undefeated USC Trojans face the Purdue Boilermakers in a highly anticipated Week 3 game, with USC's potent offense clashing against Purdue's strong defense, though betting lines reveal skepticism about USC maintaining dominance on the road. Iowa, favored heavily at home, hosts Massachusetts, with Iowa's strong second-half defense and home record likely to challenge the struggling Minutemen. Minnesota and California, both undefeated, meet in a closely matched game where Minnesota's balanced offense will test California's aggressive attack and defensive resilience. Meanwhile, Stanford hosts Boston College in an ACC matchup, with Stanford struggling offensively under quarterback Ben Gulbranson, who has thrown multiple interceptions, while Boston College looks to capitalize on Stanford's offensive woes. Fans can watch these games live across multiple networks, including ESPN, ACC Network, Fox, and BTN, and stream on platforms like Fubo and SiriusXM.
