"With three full weeks of action in the books and conference play underway, the 2025 college football landscape is taking shape and so is the sport's new crop of breakout stars. Big Ten powers Ohio State ( Julian Sayin), Penn State ( Trebor Pena) and Oregon ( Dante Moore) all took care of business with help from their early standouts in Week 3. Georgia Tech toppled Clemson with help from Florida International transfer Eric Rivers."
"The Tigers got a big boost from sophomore Dashawn Spears, who grabbed his first two career interceptions against Florida QB DJ Lagway, and returned one 58 yards for a touchdown to give the Tigers some breathing room in a 20-10 slugfest Saturday. The defense never let Lagway get comfortable, but the offense couldn't take advantage of five interceptions, and Brian Kelly was fiery in his defense of his team's style points."
Three weeks into the 2025 season, conference play and breakout players are influencing team trajectories. Ohio State, Penn State and Oregon secured wins behind early standout performers. Georgia Tech upset Clemson aided by transfer Eric Rivers. Georgia and Tennessee played an overtime classic with new starting quarterbacks contributing heavily. Texas A&M's Marcel Reed and transfer Mario Craver delivered a last-minute victory over Notre Dame. LSU, Miami and Missouri featured emerging stars such as Davhon Keys, Carson Beck and Ahmad Hardy. Clemson relied on defensive play, including Dashawn Spears' interceptions, while offensive line and quarterback consistency remain areas of focus.
