The matchup is a part of a home-and-home series that was released by the two programs in 2017. The first game was held on Sept. 21 at Alumni Stadium. The Eagles defeated the Spartans 23-19 after scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 1:28 remaining on a 42-yard touchdown reception by wide receiver Lewis Bond and a game-sealing interception by defensive back Max Tuckers with 28 seconds left.
