Michigan State and Notre Dame will play for the 79th time on Saturday and, after that, it will be awhile before the teams face each other again. Since 1959, there have been only four seasons — 1995, ’96, 2014 and ’15 — the Spartans and Fighting Irish did not meet. But thanks to several factors, including the Big Ten moving to nine conference games last season, the series no longer will have a regular rotation. The next scheduled games are in 2026 and ’27, and after that, nothing is set in stone.
