Huskies update nonconference football schedule, including rescheduling Michigan, moving up Michigan State series
During the next several seasons, Washington football will host Portland State, Michigan State, Boise State, Eastern Michigan, Colorado State and Michigan at Husky Stadium in Seattle.
Tuesday morning, the university announced eight updates and additions to its upcoming nonconference schedule — including rescheduling the canceled 2020 opener against Michigan and a series against Michigan State, and adding five more contests.
Though the COVID-19 pandemic canceled last season’s planned opener, the Huskies will still host the Wolverines, but now in 2028. Washington travels to Ann Arbor in September for the first meeting of the two programs since 2002.
The series against Michigan State originally planned for 2028 and 2031 will now be played in 2022, when the Spartans visit Seattle, and 2023, when the Huskies head to East Lansing.
Home games against Portland State, Boise State, Eastern Michigan and Colorado State have also been scheduled.
