Mandatory Credit: Brendan Mullin-Imagn Images Michigan State football fans will need some coffee or energy drinks to watch their team's Week 4 game at Southern California.
Fox scheduled the Spartans-Trojans game on Sept. 20 for an 11 p.m. ET kickoff, or 8 p.m. in Los Angeles.
"It's gonna be a late one folks," Michigan State football's X account posted when the news broke Monday.
The scheduling decision was met with backlash from fans who felt it was an unfair consequence of the Big Ten Conference adding USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington to create a coast-to-coast league footprint.
Last year, Rutgers' game at USC on Oct. 25 was also given an 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT television window, though that game took place on a Friday.
Both Michigan State and USC are 2-0 entering this week.
