The Big Ten kicked off the 2025 season with hard-hitting defenses, breakout performances, and national buzz. From Ohio State’s marquee victory to Michigan’s dominating ground game and Penn State’s complete show, the conference put everyone on notice.


Ohio State Football Tops No. 1 Texas

Ohio State opened with a season-defining 14–7 win over top-ranked Texas. The Buckeyes’ defense shut the Longhorns out in the second half, anchored by safety Caleb Downs, while Carnell Tate delivered clutch catches to close it out.

Michigan Football Runs Over Central Michigan

Michigan leaned on its ground attack and Justice Haynes—the Alabama transfer who exploded for 159 yards and three touchdowns in his debut.

Illinois Football and Wisconsin Football Impress

Illinois crushed Western Illinois 52–3, led by Hank Beatty’s electrifying punt return touchdown and 108 receiving yards.
Wisconsin delivered a classic defensive shutout against Miami (OH), with safety Preston Zachman collecting two interceptions.


Maryland Football and Purdue Football Showcase New Talent

Maryland’s freshman Malik Washington looked sharp in a 39–7 win over FAU in his debut.
Purdue started strong under new coach Barry Odom, shutting out Ball State 31–0. Sophomore Arhmad Branch made a splash with a 49-yard touchdown on his first career catch.

  • Nebraska eked out a win over Cincinnati with tough defense.
  • Indiana rolled Old Dominion behind a balanced offensive showing.
  • Michigan State methodically beat Western Michigan 23–6.
  • Minnesota pulled away late to best Buffalo 23–10.

Takeaway from Big Ten Football’s Opening Weekend

The Big Ten is off to an electrifying start—and the nation’s watching.
