Washington vs Michigan State Kickoff Pushed to 5:30 p.m.
Michigan State and Washington moved their Big Ten football game in East Lansing to a 5:30 p.m. kickoff on Saturday, November 14, after a nationwide ground stop delayed the Huskies' flight out of Seattle by several hours. Washington needs one win to reach a bowl game.
Michigan State and the University of Washington moved Saturday's football game in East Lansing, Michigan, to a 5:30 p.m. kickoff after a nationwide ground stop delayed the Huskies' flight out of Seattle by several hours. The Washington vs Michigan State game on November 14 had been set for 4:15 p.m.
The game was to be televised by Big Ten Network.
Gates and parking
Spartan Stadium parking lots were scheduled to open at 7 a.m. The MSUFCU Club & Suites and the student section gates were to open at 3:30 p.m. All other gates were to open at 4 p.m.
The disruption came from Friday's nationwide ground stop, which also left travelers facing hours-long delays at Lansing's Capital Region International Airport. The Trump administration blamed "overloaded" systems for the stop after the Federal Aviation Administration let flights resume.
What is at stake
Washington is 5-4 and must win one of its last three games to become bowl eligible. Those are at Michigan State, home against Indiana and at Oregon.
Oddsmakers listed the Huskies as 2.5-point favorites with a moneyline of -126. Michigan State was a 2.5-point underdog at +106, and the over/under was 43.5 points.
Five of Washington's nine games have finished within one score. Quarterback Demond Williams was listed as questionable, and Elijah Brown is the alternative if he cannot play. Safety Alex McLaughlin, who leads the team in tackles, sacks and interceptions, was also questionable.
Michigan State arrived off a win at Michigan, its first against its rival since 2021, which ended a six-game losing streak. Quarterback Alessio Milivojevic is back after missing a game with an injury. Defensive tackle Ben Roberts, both starting cornerbacks and backup quarterback Cam Fancher could return, but top tackler Devin Vaught is out.
The Spartans' offense has lacked explosiveness since running back Cam Edwards suffered a season-ending injury. Milivojevic has 10 completions on 25 attempts of 20 yards or more.
