Bitter rivals will square off under the lights at the Big House on Saturday, Oct. 26 as the annual meeting between Michigan and Michigan State has been announced as a night game at Michigan Stadium.

The Wolverines and the Spartans will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET, with Big Ten Network carrying the broadcast it was revealed on Monday. This will be the third consecutive season in which the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry game will be played at night.

After consecutive victories over the Spartans the last two seasons, the Wolverines will look to make it three in a row in the "Battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy" for the first time since a run of six straight wins from 2002-07. This year's rendition of the rivalry will be the first meeting between two new head coaches in Michigan's Sherrone Moore and Michigan State's Jonathan Smith.
