Once upon a time, the idea of having a night game between in-state rivals Michigan football and Michigan State was outside the realm of thought. The teams from the mitten hate each other, and thus, the fans don’t exactly see eye to eye.
However, it appears to be becoming much more of a norm as of late that the two teams face off under the lights, as we’ve seen it happen in the past two years.
And now you can make it three in a row.
It was officially announced on Monday that the Wolverines and Spartans will face off at The Big House on Oct. 26 at 7:30 p.m. and that the battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy will be broadcast on Big Ten Network.

Michigan football has won the past two after MSU had won the two before that. This will be the first meeting between the two under new head coaches Sherrone Moore and Jonathan Smith.
