MSU vs. Notre Dame: Memorable moments of the 2000’s

It’s Notre Dame week for Michigan State, as the Spartans get set to host the Irish in East Lansing for the first time since 2012. It is also the last time the two schools are scheduled to meet on the gridiron until 2026.

For many Michigan State fans, the Notre Dame rivalry pales only in comparison to the Michigan rivalry, and for good reason. The two schools have played 78 times, dating all the way back to 1897. The rivalry has featured many memorable games, including the fabled “Game of the Century” in 1966 that resulted in a 10-10 tie, the only one in the series.
