Michigan State football kicks off with a primetime road matchup at defending B1G West champion Northwestern on Sept. 3 (9 p.m. EST/ESPN).

Legendary Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo offered his well wishes prior to the conference clash.

Izzo is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame. Izzo has been the head coach at Michigan State since 1995, guiding the program to a national title in 2000, 10 B1G regular season titles, and six B1G conference tournament titles.

Michigan State football also unveiled a brand new uniform combo for the 2021 season.

Michigan State posted a 2-5 record during Mel Tucker’s first season at the helm. It’ll be plenty of fresh faces on the roster in 2021 as Michigan State looks to rebound. Michigan State will have 14 transfer players (via 247Sports) and 33 newcomers in total.

Michigan State leads the all-time series 39-20 vs. Northwestern and has won the last two matchups.
