EAST LANSING -- Make it four night games, at least, for Michigan State football in 2015, with one of the biggest nonleague matchups of the college season taking place under the lights at Spartan Stadium.

ESPN reported today that Oregon's visit to MSU on Sept. 12 will kick off at 8 p.m. and air on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2, and that MSU's Nov. 7 visit to Nebraska will kick off at 7 or 8 p.m. and air on one of those three networks.

MSU Spartans opened their season with a night game against Jacksonville State in 2014.

This is a rematch of a game the Ducks won 46-27 at home last season, and it's a matchup of expected preseason top-10 teams.
