As the 2018 regular season rapidly winds to a close, there’s some future scheduling news on which to touch.
Both Michigan State and Washington announced Thursday that the two athletic departments have reached an agreement on a future home-and-home series. The Spartans will travel to Seattle’s Husky Stadium on Sept. 9, 2028, with the Huskies paying a visit to East Lansing Sept. 6, 2031.
“We are excited about scheduling two games with Michigan State,” said UW athletic director Jennifer Cohen in a statement. “It is important for us to create incredible experiences for our student-athletes, coaches and fans, and we believe playing a high-caliber, non-conference opponent like Michigan State provides those opportunities.”
The football programs have met twice previously, the most recent coming in the 1997 Aloha Bowl. They also squared off during the 1969 and 1970 regular seasons.
The Huskies own a 2-1 edge in the miniseries, including each of the last two by a combined 52 points.
