Spartans to host Buckeyes under the lights Nov. 8

If you enjoyed last season's Big Ten title game – who didn't?! – you'll want to leave the night of Nov. 8 open.

The Spartans won the game, 34-24, on their way to claiming the Rose Bowl title, the program's first since taking the 1988 game.

As a result of Thursday's announcement, Michigan State and Ohio State are scheduled to play five night games in 2014, a record for both teams.
