Another year, another night game in the state of Michigan.
Notre Dame's Sept. 15 contest at Michigan State will be an 8 p.m. ET kick on ABC, the Big Ten announced Tuesday.
It will mark the third straight year the Irish play a night contest in the state of Michigan, and if history is any indication, it will be another thriller. Notre Dame came out on the losing end of the last two, both of which were decided on touchdown passes in the closing seconds.
It was already announced that the Irish's Sept. 22 home game against Michigan would kick off at 7:30 p.m. on NBC, giving the program consecutive prime-time contests against the Big Ten schools.
Notre Dame's game against Miami in Chicago will start at 7:30 p.m., with their other home games starting at 3:30 p.m. The Sept. 1 opener against Navy in Dublin, Ireland, will kick at 2 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET).
The Irish's only 2012 contests currently without an announced start time are Oct. 27 at Oklahoma, Nov. 10 at Boston College and Nov. 24 at USC.
