Rivalry week (some of you may refer to it as “hate week”) comes early for the Michigan State Spartans and Michigan Wolverines in the abbreviated 2020 season. The two programs meet on Halloween, just the second week into the shortened Big Ten schedule.
For the second straight season, the Spartans travel to Ann Arbor. This is good in the long run as it will allow for a more balanced home-and-away slate for Michigan State moving forward, as MSU will no longer have to travel in both games against Michigan and Ohio State every other season and will now have one home game and one away away game against those conference foes each season.
