Maryland cancels football game against Michigan State; Spartans won't make up game

Barring an invitation to a bowl game, Michigan State’s 2020 football season is over.

That became clear on Thursday afternoon when, for the second time this season, Michigan State’s scheduled game with Maryland was canceled because of COVID-19 issues with the Terrapins.

The official announcement from Maryland said all of its team activates had been paused and that the game scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Saturday would not be rescheduled.

The Spartans and Terrapins were scheduled to play on Nov. 21, but Maryland was forced to cancel because of a rise in COVID-19 cases.
