Miami & Michigan State Announce Two-Game Series

Oct. 20, 2010

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami and Michigan State announced the signing of a two-game football series in 2020 and 2021.

“We are committed to continuing our tradition of playing a strong non-conference schedule,” said Miami Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt.  “The University of Miami is excited to announce this series against a very strong Big Ten Conference program.  These types of match ups are great for our program and the game of college football.” 

The `Canes will travel to East Lansing and the Michigan State campus on Sept. 26, 2020. MSU will visit Miami on Sept. 18, 2021.

UM has won all four previous meeting with Michigan State, but the two programs have not met since 1989.  Three of the four all-time meetings have been decided by less than a touchdown.

In coming seasons UM has non-conference games scheduled with BCS opponents Notre Dame, Nebraska, Cincinnati, Florida, USF, Ohio State and Kansas State.

This season, Michigan State has gone from unranked in the preseason polls to No. 7 in the initial BCS rankings released last weekend.
