This week’s already colossal matchup between No. 8 MSU and No. 13 Ohio State got even bigger on Sunday when ESPN announced College GameDay is coming to East Lansing on Saturday.
The announcement was made via College GameDay’s Twitter handle , tweeting “Breaking: GameDay is heading to East Lansing for Ohio State vs Michigan State!” at 11:24 a.m. on Sunday.
The show features ESPN college football commentators Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler, Desmond Howard and Lee Corso, traveling across the country with a new site each week. The show normally selects one of the biggest games of the week as its location and serves as one of the nation’s premier college football pregame shows.
This will be the second time College GameDay will be in attendance for a MSU game this season, attending MSU-Oregon on Sept. 6 in Eugene, Ore.
College GameDay last was in East Lansing two years ago, when Ohio State came to town in 2012. MSU lost that day, 17-16. College GameDay also was on site last season when MSU beat Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis.
Kickoff between MSU–Ohio State is set for 8 p.m. on Saturday, with the game airing on ABC.
