ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Pretty much every college football analyst expected Michigan football to lose to USC on Saturday, but they play the games for a reason.

Week 3 of the high school football 2024 season kicked off across Michigan on Friday, Sept 13. MLive photographers and freelancers had the games covered with images from 13 games across the state on Friday.

Michigan State football took care of business on Saturday, beating Prairie View A&M, 40-0, securing a 3-0 start to the 2024 season and the Jonathan Smith era at Michigan State. The Spartan fans got a treat, seeing a host of Spartans play in this game, both old and young, gaining valuable experience before a road trip to Boston College next week.
