EAST LANSING — Michigan State's Sept. 7 home game against South Florida will kickoff at noon and be televised by ESPN2 or ESPNU, according to a network release.

It will be the Spartans' first-ever meeting against the Bulls, who hail from the American Athletic Conference, formerly known as the Big East.

South Florida will bring a new head coach in Willie Taggert.

While the Bulls are looking for a new quarterback, linebacker DeDe Lattimore anchors what has been a fierce defense over the years.
