The Michigan State Spartans and the UCF Golden Knights have each added the Jacksonville State Gamecocks to their 2014 football schedule, JSU has announced.

Michigan State will host Jacksonville State at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing on August 30, 2014. It will be the season opener and the first meeting ever between the two schools.

The Spartans also travel to West Virginia and host Eastern Michigan in 2014.

The UCF Golden Knights will host the JSU Gamecocks on September 20, 2014 at Bright House Networks Stadium in Orlando. Like Michigan State, UCF has never played Jacksonville State in football.
