The Michigan State Spartans are set to host the University of Washington Huskies this Saturday, Nov. 14, at Spartan Stadium.
The matchup, which features the “3-6 Spartans”, was originally scheduled for an earlier afternoon start.
However, officials confirmed that the game will now kick off at 5:30 p.m. due to travel complications.
The “change was due to delays in travel for Washington after Friday’s FAA ground stop order,” according to the reporting by Yahoo Sports.
The Spartans enter the contest looking to maintain momentum following a recent 15-6 victory over the Michigan Wolverines.
In contrast, the “5-4 Huskies” are arriving in East Lansing after a narrow 28-25 loss to Penn State.
Fans attending the game in person should prepare for challenging weather conditions throughout the day.
The National Weather Service anticipates overcast skies and temperatures reaching a high of 44 degrees by mid-afternoon.
Because the region is expecting wind gusts up to 21 mph, the conditions will likely feel significantly colder for those participating in tailgating activities.
Attendees are encouraged to bundle up and bring extra layers to manage the wind chill.
For those unable to attend the game at the stadium, the event will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
Digital streaming options are available through Fubo for viewers seeking alternative access.
Radio coverage is provided by the “Spartan Media Network”, which includes broadcasts on WMMQ in Lansing, WJR in Detroit, and WBFX in Grand Rapids.
Additionally, the game can be heard via “SiriusXM on channels 231 and 257” for Michigan State and Washington fans, respectively.
The matchup remains a pivotal point for both programs as they navigate the remainder of their respective schedules.
