This Saturday night at 7:30, the No. 12 MSU football team will take on the No.18 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend, Ind. for the 78th time. MSU head coach Mark Dantonio and Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly have both their teams prepared for battle, ready to carry on tone of the oldest rivalries in NCAA history.
This battle for the Megaphone Trophy has been through it all, including the 1966 “Game of the Century” that ended up a 10-10 tie between then No. 2 MSU and No. 1 Notre Dame. This marks 50 years since that historic game, and this matchup will carry heavy implications for the remainder of the Spartan season.
